“A Small Town Comes Together To Help The Sheriff Save Sonic From The Government” In Sonic Movie Plot

1. Take out the nonsensical juvenile delinquency and this sounds like a cool concept if implemented right.

   1. *gasp*
      Sonic is a TEEN WITH A BAD ATTITUDE?!
      THOSE MAD MEN! SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!

2. Yeah no, I have absolutely no faith for this movie aside from hopefully good GCI animation for Sonic. Whatever the heck this movie is supposed to be it’s definitely NOT “Sonic” and it’s crazy that this plot was ok’ed by Sonic Team/SEGA… do they really just not care at this point?

   1. How the heck is this NOT Sonic? Its practically the same way Sonic Adventure 2’s story began!

3. Reading through the article, I may have pieced together at least some of the story. There was an article earlier mentioning that Sonic and Tom have to stop Eggman, and this article mentions Sonic having the government after him. Now who could take advantage of that, or be behind it? Eggman.

4. Maybe Sonic in this continuity was made the way he was by the government, which is why they’re after him.

5. If the government isn’t GUN and they don’t mistake Shadow for Sonic then I’m unsubscribing.
   This sounds like/better be SA2 the movie: Canada edition.

6. How does this tie into the buddy cop thing from earlier?

7. It’s fucked…. dead on arrival and completely departed. What the hell have you done Paramount & SEGA okayd this????
   What the shit was wrong with a 1hr 40min-2hr CGI animated film?????

   1. Actually, I have to agree.

      But I’m praying for the sake of the franchise that this film doesn’t suck hard. I have little reason to go to the movies these days as it is. Also, the franchise can’t take anymore hits, after Lost World, Boom, Runners, and Forces.

      It’ll get really ugly when the public starts demanding that Sonic should die, rather than improve and put out a good game.

      1. Don’t lump Forces in with Boom & Lost World. Sega already said Forces was a financial success for the company.

         Forces may not be perfect but definitely doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.

         1. Really? I just referenced Forces based on the salty reviews that YouTubers coming out of the woodworks put out, as well as my ultra-unpleasant experience with Lost World. The writing and stage design (Lava Mountain Act 3) were unforgivable.

8. Sounds awful, yet again this could be the description of one scene and not the entire plot.

   Still not feeling this buddy cop thing at all, now I think we will get something like the latest Ninja Turtles movie at best.

9. If the government element were missing, this concept might seem a little like Cars.

10. This sounds … not terrible. Could be good if they don’t mess it up, which they will…

11. Who framed sonic the hedgehog- I mean who framed roger rabbit?

    1. It just occurred to me that if Bob Hoskins were still with us, he could play the cop like he did in Roger Rabbit. Then we would have a Mario and Sonic buddy cop film. 🙂

       I’m sure he never would have touched the role of Mario again though.

       RIP Bob Hoskins

       1. Well, it looks like the original article was changed to remove the government-chasing-Sonic plot. It’s no longer there — it just says that they don’t know what the plot will be about.

          1. Something tells me that they had to.

12. This sounds way too much like Sonic X for my tastes. I’d way rather we just get a more straight forward Sonic Action/Comedy.

13. I would pay to see that movie lol.

14. I don’t see anywhere in that article you cited that it says that’s what the plot of the film is.

    1. I noticed that, too. They most likely had to remove it because it gave out too much information.

15. Don’t see the problem with this. Sonic was interacting with humans in the Adventure series and was pursued by the government in SA2. And people are getting way to hung up on the impatient “juvenile” comment made in the spur of the moment. I’m guessing his character will be based around his impatient, slightly short tempered attitude from the 90s, if anything is to be taken from that comment.

    1. The problem is not the description itself, the problem is Hollywood’s tendency to make mediocre stories out of plots like these.

       As of now I feel this movie will be a cross between Hop and the latest TMNT movies.

    2. I agree. This doesn’t bother me at all. I actually hope this premise is legit.

       I’m optimistic.

       1. Same, I’m excited, too. I’m not banking on this movie being great, but I’m banking on being verrryyy hyped for it. And like you said, optimistic. But with a touch of realism in there, too.

16. This makes me think of the first episodes of Sonic X smashed with some plot of SA2 plus the whole Kintobor creating Sonic story from the UK Sonic comics. Ok, you have my attention now instead of seeing so many people bash this title over absolutely no info whatsoever.

17. I suppose this could go either way–but I believe Sega has final call on things like this, so if this doesn’t pan out as hoped, it is sort of on them. -T

18. I mean, it’s Sonic, what else are you going to do with a character based plot? He’s honestly kind of hard to write anything TV and movie wise for and have it be interesting for longer than 30 minutes, unless you’re SatAM.

    I would’ve appreciated a slightly more world focused story, so we could take in all the sights, but that’s me. At least the plot sounds okay, and at best we have a not-that-bad video game movie, so I’m fine with it.

19. Why couldn’t we just have a 2 hour Unleashed-style cutscene

20. This is basically Sonic X, or Sonic Adventure 2’s plot. People liked that, right?
