It's interesting the Sonic movies started out as regular Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks-type "cartoon in live-action" fare with humans, and then eventually came to representing the games more with over-the-top animal action slowly but surely. Took ages for the first one to finally get made.
@@doclouis4236 not "sometimes", there are two words for two different hues of blue, dark blue and light blue. Light blue is used as euphemism for "gay", but Sonic is dark blue and it doesn't make sense calling him the gay blue word.
@@KOTEBANAROT I think what was meant by Sonic to be said in the script in response to James Marsden was; "I'm you're gay friend." Which is what I interpreted by that misplaced of "blue" being there.
The reason the studio can never release that test footage is that A) it features music they didn't have the rights to and B) the actors didn't get paid, it was all just favors, so it would get everybody in trouble with the union if that test scene was put on a DVD or something
I love reading into the production of the first Sonic film. It's crazy how many changes it went through before they even officially started production.
That casting list is the single funniest thing ever, it’s all either the most generic choices imaginable or it’s completely insane. A Sonic movie where Tom is played by Justin Timberlake and Sonic is voiced by Sheldon Cooper probably would’ve started a civil war somewhere
If the first sonic movie wasn't a huge success, sega might have not even started taking the series more seriously like making more games and giving a bigger budget for Sonic Team
I would honestly love a Paramount Sonic movie with the original design where Original Design Sonic (now called 'Ugly Sonic') is a washed-up actor who has turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with his depression, but I know Paramount would never make something that kino.
@@Rishi123456789Hate tell you this, but I’m Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers, Ugly Sonic is actually an actor who attends fan conventions and was also the star of a cop series.
@@vanessagonzalez7862 You're right and the fact that toys with the original design of Paramount Sonic (now known as 'Ugly Sonic') were released to the public is proof that the redesign of Paramount Sonic was not a publicity stunt.
I feel like Michael B Jordon is too cool for Tom. The reason Tom works is he perfectly balances being a Everyman and being a cool action hero, Jordon’s too cool I cannot see him getting the treatment Tom gets from Rachael and taking it
When Sony announced that they were working on the Sonic Movie, I was excited, and waited to see a Sonic Movie for like my whole life. After the movie came out… I felt different.
ever since they announced that Megaman live action movie I've been waiting very, VERY patiently for any news about it...not cause I expect it to be good of course
The saddest part to me is that SEGA & Sonic Team care way too much about Sonic’s rep online nowadays & even in their self-deprecating memes they don’t even wanna acknowledge the original Movie design. So I feel that there would be no willingness on their end to release any of the footage. Our best bet is someone that worked on the original version that may have some footage lying around. Here’s hoping that it gets released at some point in the future.
The "sony" poster, was only a concept art that was designed as a possible idea: They had the idea of a buddy cop movie with sonic and Chris Pratt, of course that idea changed into what we know today. But the photo got leaked online, that's where all the rumors came from
It’d be nice if they packaged all of the old footage into the bonus features of the physical release instead of just leaving us fans on a wild goose chase to put the pieces together.
How could they afford James Marsden though? We can't use the excuse that they got Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool because Ryan Reynolds pitched the Deadpool movie and was the reason it became a thing
I remember first hearing about the Sonic movie around the time Sony got hacked in 2014. If I remember correctly there was leaked emails from that hack talking about a potential Super Mario movie being made by them too. The Sonic movie was in production for so long I didn't think it was ever actually coming out until that teaser on Twitter dropped out of nowhere in 2018
I've always said the "ugly Sonic" design should've been tweaked to look cool and original rather than trying to make him look as close to Modern Sonic as possible. He doesn't fit in the real world, and if the movie wasn't a generic family movie, who knows how Sonic would have looked.
hi i co own the search for big star secret official server and i too have seen the video where the kid holds the cody puppet in the year 2007. good shit
Man , I don’t even remember that Sonic 1 once was at CCXP, there was basically nothing there at the time… (btw, CCXP means Comic Con Experience, not Cinema Con Experience, and because of copyright, they can’t use the full name anymore)
I'm not sure if you have seen it yet, but David Clair-Bennett just uploaded an interview with Pat Casey who gave some info that the ideas for the Sonic movie under Sony had the same concept and many of their ideas for it carried over.
In my opinion, the ugly sonic thing had to be a marketing tactic. They fixed Sonic so insanely fast, that it’s just hard to believe that they fixed it in the little time they did. Also, the overall atmosphere of the movie just changed from the og to actual trailer
@@adrianporter5749 After I commented this, I got more and more stuff about the production on my feed, and I agree now yeah. I didn’t know much about it, but since I got way more insight it makes sense what happened
fuck sonic movie fans.
I agree, Marcus.
Woah dude take me out to dinner first
freaky ngl
They don't want you bro 💀🙏
@MarcusTheLarcus Bro chill out my guy
Wow. Even back then, they thought of the idea of Chris pratt voicing the main character.
Great minds think alike
We also could’ve gotten spider man to play as sonic lol
@@tysonflamesnake1128 Tobey, Andrew or Tom?
I swear Chris Pratt has that perfect generic protagonist voice
Imagine the timeline where Chris Pratt voiced Mario, Sonic, and Garfield.

I don’t think the first one resembles Alvin and the chip munks anywhere near as much as people say it does.
@@TheSupaman98 It's definitely more of a buddy comedy, but there are elements of the setup. The third movie looks to stray away from that further.
It went from hating the trailer
To wanting the Sonic Movie 3 Trailer
@@sweetpea644not quite. Sonic is more ET, Alvin and the chipmunks is more glitter
I find it funny how the First Sonic Movie went from a Alvin & the Chipmunks ripoff to a Hop ripoff.
Seeing that we almost had Wade "The Flames of Disaster" Whipple himself playing Tom is just hilarious to me

he needs to find that voice again its funny
“Why not? I’m your friend blue”

Not sure if it was translated properly, but "blue" in Russian can sometimes mean "gay".

If they didn’t change the design, we might not have a Sonic Movie 3, the first film probably bombs and we never speak of it again.
If the first sonic movie wasn't a huge success, sega might have not even started taking the series more seriously like making more games and giving a bigger budget for Sonic Team
And years later, an animated movie happens, and its better then the movie if they kept the old design.

@@alexandercorbett1147It’s weird that A Zelda Movie would be made at Sony. I mean come on, Sony only made video game consoles because of Nintendo.

Exactly. Most people don't know how hilariously out of touch Hollywood executives really are.
