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.
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
@@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.

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
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
We DID get Ugly Sonic as a supporting character in Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers and we recently got an Ugly Sonic ugly sweater available on the Paramount website. So Sega IS in on the jokes, just not as often as we are.
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
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'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.
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)
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
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
It's weird how in that first image with Chris Pratt, Sonic's design looks fine enough but then it turns into the beautiful monstrosity we all know of from the first trailer
Grow the fuck up since the day I uploaded this video I kept getting comments that said “COLD SO COLD” and I thought it was some dumbass cult before learning it was a sonic.exe fnf thing. then I just had to stare at my screen like this Fuck friday night funkin
I remember the only fake Sonic movie trailer that actually got me was the one Christian Jay uploaded. Dude even predicted the breastfeeding joke the movie wound up having.
well I mean yeah that can get annoying especially if its not funny and that shit was just a image of mario 64 with his butthole out oh the humanity get a grip ur on the internet
i had a stroke trying to read the comments, half of it probably due to me waking up with little sleep and me trying to understand them at the exact same time didn't work out so well

I agree, Marcus.
Woah dude take me out to dinner first

I don’t think the first one resembles Alvin and the chip munks anywhere near as much as people say it does.

This is something another utuber had talked about with Pat Casey

And yet in 2024, people still think that ugly sonic was a marketing stunt...
Exactly. Most people don't know how hilariously out of touch Hollywood executives really are.

When tim miller was on corridor crew, he comfirmed that it infact was not a marketing stunt and it set them back a lot of time and money.

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.
