Movies 1994 Sonic Movie Treatment Discovered, To Be Streamed and Distributed Online

[nuckles87]

It's easy to take Sonic's film career for granted these days, what with the hugely successful Paramount franchise still going strong. But Sonic's trip to the big screen was a long and rocky one, with multiple attempts that never saw the light of day. We already know about the Sonic the Hedgehog: Wonders of the World treatment from 1995, which was part of the initial 1994-95 effort to get a Sonic movie made at MGM and Trilogy Entertainment. Now, it seems, we have another, earlier one: a 32 page treatment from November 1994 written by Pen Densham and Richard B. Lewis.

The treatment was obtained by the The Game Show Game, and SEGAbits has announced on Twitter that they will be reading through the treatment alongside Sonic Retro and Cybershell on The Game Show Game's Twitch channel at 7:45 PM CST.

The treatment will be posted on Sonic Retro after the Twitch stream if you'd rather read it yourself. Aside from a cover page, SEGAbits has revealed that the treatment has underage drinking, mutated children, and Knuckles. Though in the case of the, they really "@#$%ed up his portrayal." 

You can check out the cover page below:

Just a couple notes:

the second image isn't part of the film treatment, it was just used because it's 90's Sonic sitting in front of a movie theater. It's thematically relevant, but not part of it.

Also, all credit has to go to The Game Show Game - they're the ones who got ahold of the treatment! We're just helping sharing it with the world.

Thanks! We made the corrections.

Was just going by what SEGAbits revealed. They didn't actually name The Game Show Game as the source, but it makes sense given that's the Twitch channel they're using. Thanks for the clarifications!

Oh that's amazing that they found another treatment!

Cannot wait to see this. Is this the same film that had sonic and eggman jump out of the tv and in to our world???

Oh boy I can't wait to see the 1994 Sonic Movie Pitch!

Oh.

[ChaosCTRL]

Am I the only one getting serious 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie vibes from this?

It's slightly older and very different.

[DaBigJ]

Different doesn't even begin to describe it

I can't believe we've been robbed so hard

Where's the part where he is held at gunpoint by a local sheriff and says "meow?"

...When Sora AI comes out, someone should re-create this.

Can I please ask if the script itself has been put up yet?
