Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Aiming for PG-13 Rating?

[Deleted]

On the bright side, they'd have to work hard to make it worse than that godawful fan film with Wide-Mouth Sonic.

Jesus, just do Sonic SatAM: The Movie.

Trust me, it would make millions.

Heck, they should make an Archie Sonic movie. Sonic, Sally, Hologram Nicole, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Bunnie, Antoine and Rotor all fight Eggman and his bots, Snively and Naugus.

It's basically Sonic SatAM expanded, so why not!

And the odd mishmash of Sonic's cartoonish worlds with real life locals and the "Ha ha, we're poking fun of the inter-species relationship stuff from Sonic 06" and the pointless cameos from Doug Walker and James Rolfe...

Apparently Sonic Boom: The Rise of Lyric video game is broken as all hell.

If they go for the PG-13 rating (seems rather silly for something like bloody Soinc) will we get the token one edgy use of the word f*** somewhere in there.

But honestly don't see the why it shouldn't be a PG rated film as its a Sonic The Hedgehog film.

I never understood why they never made a Sonic cartoon with the exanpded Archie comics. So much good material even in recent years.

I'd go apeshit if Sega teamed up with Disney for a Sonic movie, TBH. Ideally I'd like the tone to be something along the lines of Big Hero 6, where there's plenty of funny moments, but the heroes still have their backs to the wall.

Actually, the tone of Big Hero 6 does seem just about perfect for this.

I'd buy a ticket

This is the dumbest idea possible. I know the whole goal is to get a bigger audience, but it is throwing away the thing that the Sonic games do best. Sonic is one of the few franchises that give an epic game feel for a kids game. Sonic does this better than any other franchise for a game that my 6 year old can play. I love Mario games, but they don't have the cut scenes that Sonic games can. I know I can get my son a Sonic game and he will enjoy it. Look at Mario, he still sells games. A PG13 movie with Mario would be stupid.

I also don't always buy the argument that PG-13 matters that much. Look at the Lego Movie. It only had a PG rating and it did well for various age groups.

[The Mark of Mark]

I'd prefer a PG rating. I would like to comfortably take a child under ten to the movie. SatAM and the comic proved you could get dark without scaring kids.

With all this talk about SatAM, I'd love it if they included SatAM characters.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I think the one thing we can be assured of is that this will be superior to Super Mario Bros. The Movie.

Hell, the whole film could just be Sonic eating a chili dog and spending the remaining 85 minutes on the toilet and it'd still be more watchable than Super Mario Bros. The Movie.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Yeah, PG-13 isn't as big a deal as it used to be considering kid's films have more than found their footing.

I said the something similar about Dragon Ball Evolution. "Surely it'll be better than that dumb @$$ Hong Kong version."

[HMARK Center]

I know it feels like Clash and I could derail any Sonic thread into a SatAM one, but it always bugs me how badly Sega fails to make compelling side characters or stories in most of their more modern Sonic games, yet has the rights to utilize all these other characters that people actually liked, and actively refuses to do so, and just continues to create more and more excess characters who wear out their welcome incredibly quickly. It's really frustrating, and has been for basically 15+ years now.

I bet British fans of Sonic the Comic could relate to some degree, as well.

I'd personally rather have Scratch and Grounder than the SatAM characters(barring Sally).

You know what happened the last time Sally appeared in a Sonic show that had Scratch & Grounder in it?


We got a not so good Christmas special.

Its funny how for me, when you're an adult and don't have kids, what a movie is rated never crosses your mind.
