3 Reason Why a Sonic Movie Shouldn’t Be Live Action! Lyrics by Lotus Eater Evans

2014

Yes! A Live Action Sonic Movie is in the works!
I think there’s lots of people that understand that I want a Sonic the Hedgehog movie more than anyone! However, one thing that I’ve been blunt about is that making it a Live Action movie is just a bad idea. Here are some of the reasons…
1. Live Action Fails for Franchises!Ok, I understand to get to these executive dudes in the suits, you have to speak their language. And here I go to try and speak it. First, we all need to come to the understanding that if a Sonic the Hedgehog movie is made. It is going to be a franchise. We have too many stories to tell and toys and video games to sell. So, we should look at Live Action movies that had to come with sequals verses Animated sequals.
What we’re not going to do is use LA/CGI movies such as Men In Black, Transformers, and Guardians of the Galaxy in comparison. Why? Because of the rating and the target audience. All films listed above are PG-13 and are in not way or form a basis of comparison for a Sonic Film.
If we look at Live Action/CGI Movies that we can use for comparison: Yogi Bear, The Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks.At the very end, the profits end up declining instead of doing what we want, increasing. Even if you say that a Sonic movie is going to be targeted at a more mature demigraphic, if we look at the last Live-Action/CGI Film that was targeted for more mature kids, we get even deeper into the whole. However this is overall not the case when it comes to Animated CGI Films. If we take a look at franchises such as Toy Story, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters, Inc, and Madagascar, the box office gains more and more in every sequal.
2. Live-Action Video Game Films Suck!We’ve got Super Mario (Sonic’s Nintendo Rival) and that bombed, we’ve done Mortal Kombat and the Franchise financially fails, we’ve done Tron and it still didn’t do the numbers that the Animated Video Game film, Wreck It Ralph did (And Sonic made a short cameo.)
3. Sonic only works in full animation.Take a look at the first 3 minutes of the opening scene for Sonic Unleashed. I can’t tell you how many times I thought, “wow, why don’t they make a Sonic movie with just that”. The animation is just beautiful. And I’m not the only one who thinks this by a long shot. THIS is your chance to do that. THAT is what your movie should look like. If you want Sonic in the human world, fine, but animated it please.
OverallI’ve already shown you how animated franchises don’t compare to live action/CGI franchises targeted at the same audince. And I only feel that the Live Action movies that I listed made so much money becuase of the pure nostalgia factor of all the adults that went to see. Add that nostalgia factor to a Sonic movie, and you’ll have a huge success on your hands. I think I’ll talk more about the content of what should be in the movie soon.
A good example of how successful your movie might be would be if you just parsed the production of the movie until we….
See how Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank do at the box office!And besides, it's been done!
