Minecraft is finally about to get its first feature-length movie next year, and fans are highly excited. The only problem many people have with the movie is that it’s live-action, as they feel it should be animated. And when an image was leaked a few days ago showing the character design of the mobs, everyone’s fear turned into reality. The images showed some of the iconic mobs from the game, such as the bee and the creeper, and no one liked their design.

Redditor Lorenz_ist09 shared an image on the game's subreddit, showing the possible design of the three mobs; sheep, creeper, and bee. With their semi-realistic design, it's hard to ignore their uncanny appearance. Note that these are leaked images and quite likely a test design, which means this might not be the final design for the Minecraft movie.

prollygonnaban reacted to these images and commented:

“Is this gonna be a good movie or is it just gonna be fan service and cameos ??...is this movie even real I don't see any trailers lol”

Captain_Thrax said these images look like real leaks and not many people really hope the movie will be good. The only hope left for the movie is to be funny and bad so that it becomes enjoyable at least. ChrisLMDG said the movie makers tried to take these images down wherever it was posted, implying these leaks' authenticity.

A Minecraft movie was long overdue and it did take a long time to come. While it will be released next year, the date is not fixed as the post-production work remains. The movie will feature stars like Jason Mamoa and Jack Black in the lead roles and it will focus on an origin story, as confirmed by the latter in an interview.
