In this proof-of-concept "spec film," Blue Core Studios intends to show its plans for a not-for-profit Sonic the Hedgehog film that uses both live actors and CG animation. The studio has even enlisted the talents of Sonic voice-acting vet (and Urkel actor) Jaleel White.

The team hopes to get this project in full development soon, so check out Blue Core's Facebook page, and the film's Facebook page. You can help them fund the project by buying stuff at their online store.

This 18-minute clip was directed by Eddie Lebron, who also directed another fan film, Mega Man.

Hm... I wonder what fans of sonic think of this.

WAY PAST COOL!

Of course they got Jaleel White. What else would he be doing.

*Cue faintings of diluted modern sonic fans*
by Darkeon Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 09:33 PM

Ya'know this was pretty cool, I admit.
by Zero Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 09:33 PM

Well... I guess if it's fan-made...

Can't imagine a Sonic film - I mean, once Sonic started involving humans beyond Robotnik the series had jumped the shark. Not something that translates easy to film.

It's not half bad. Yes, Sonic looks a little awkward and the pacing is off, but for a fan film it's very well made and you can see a lot of effort was put into it. I'd love to see a sequel to this.

If it doesn't have a human on hedgehog romance, I'm out.

Darn it GI why do you disable full screen for YouTube clips? Or does anyone know how to enable it for Chrome?
by Bradley Jakes Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 09:46 PM

Okay, I realize that this is just a proof of concept video and that it's not for profit, but no, just no. I don't think that anyone is ready for a Sonic the Hedgehog film, especially one which blends live action and CGI. Who would take that seriously? I also think that maybe it would be best if we kept a Sonic film on hold until they start making better Sonic games.

Jaleel White? the Guy who did the voice of Sonic in all the old cartoons? Ok, I'm impressed. I wonder if chili dogs are brought up in this...
by A Person Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 09:58 PM

My god, I could barely get past the first five minutes. This movie is BEYOND stupid.

Brentalfloss and Stuttering Craig! :D

Somewhere, Matt The Hedgehog just exploded.
by DarkDoc26 Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:42 PM

Anyone else start singing the Sonic The Animated Series theme? "Blue streak... speeds by, Sonic the Hedgehog. Too fast... for the naked eye, Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic, he can really move. Sonic, he's got an attitude. Sonic, he's the fastest thing ali-i-ive."
by ruyjin_jakka Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:44 PM

the idea is not bad but too cliche...to me a movie for sonic or halo should be in full cgi...
by Meta77 Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:46 PM

Ok from the standpoint of a fanwork with no money pretty much then its a decent little short film for what it was.

From a sonic fan standpoint I did like they got JW in it but the animation is ahwahfwa bad :/ I would like to see sonic in a cg movie but more along the lines of the quality of cg *i said cg you twits* of sonic 06 and unleashed.
by The End117 Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:48 PM

For being fan made this was pretty cool! Imagine if it had a good budget! I'd definitely see this.
by Patrick Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:49 PM

WAIT....Sonic is Urkel?!
