Michealene Risley, the newly appointed consumer products director who helped license Sonic for Adventures, negotiated with several Hollywood producers. Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske was wary of dissentious the brand, citing the commercial and critical failures of the Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter films. Despite Kalinske'south concerns, Sega was enthusiastic. In Baronial 1994, Sega struck a development deal with MGM and Trilogy Amusement Group, with Pen Densham as executive producer.[26]

MGM and Sega hired Richard Jefferies, an associate of Risley from her days at Marvel Comics, to write a pic treatment. At the fourth dimension, Sega was developing the video game Sonic X-treme (which was canceled in late 1996) for its next console, the Sega Saturn, and asked Jefferies to feature the Saturn in the screenplay. Jefferies' handling, Sonic: Wonders of the Globe, was submitted in May 1995. While the draft received a positive response among MGM and Sega executives, Sega COO Shinobu Toyoda suggested Kalinske replace Robotnik with a meaner villain. MGM canceled the projection after a failed effort to revive it at DreamWorks. Jeffries suggested that the film was scrapped every bit both Sega and MGM wanted a higher share of the profits, while Densham said it followed creative differences between Sega and Trilogy.[26]

In 2002, Ben Hurst consulted DIC Entertainment nearly the possibility of making an blithe Sonic film to serve every bit a continuation of the animated Sonic the Hedgehog boob tube serial, in which he worked every bit a writer. DiC put Hurst in contact with a Sega executive interested in the idea. Hurst was contacted past Ken Penders, writer of the Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series, who had been alerted of Hurst's plans. Though Hurst told him his strategy and offered to include him in his attempt, Penders told Sega that Hurst was trying to co-opt the franchise, leading Sega to dismiss Hurst and his proposal.[27] In September 2003, Penders pitched his own concept for a Sonic film, Sonic Armageddon. In Penders' words, the movie would take been an origin story and a series reset, resolving the plot threads which began in the animated Sonic show and continued in Archie's comic series.

Executive producer Miller said: "Information technology would exist weird and it would feel like he was running around nude if he was some sort of otter-like thing.

Gene Park of The Washington Post gave the motion-picture show a positive review, saying it was "the furthest thing from Cats, despite the early comparisons. Wary fans expecting the usual like shooting fish in a barrel target to mock will instead find something to fervently gloat for years."[135] Amon Warrman of Empire gave the flick 2 out of five stars, writing, "An on-form Jim Carrey tin can't stop Sonic'due south alive-action debut from feeling like a missed opportunity. If the teased sequels do materialize, here's hoping the storytelling levels up."[136] Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Sonic now resembles a cartoon hedgehog instead of a spray-painted marmot. But if anything was done to de-genericize the script, it hasn't helped. Not that the Sega games—in which the fleet-footed hero zips around doing flips and collecting gold coins (which here encircle the Paramount mountain) gave the director, Jeff Fowler, much to work with."[137]

Variety 'southward Owen Gleiberman criticized the tone: "For all the borderline tedium I felt at Sonic the Hedgehog, I do realize that this is a pic fabricated for eight-yr-olds. And they'll probably like it simply fine. Yet I would as well call the overly kiddified tone of the motion-picture show a mistake."[138] Writing for The Guardian, Steve Rose gave the film two out of five, saying elements were "clearly indebted" to other films, such as Quicksilver's powers in the Ten-Men movies, and finding the message of friendship "trite and familiar".[139] Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave the motion-picture show one out of 4, writing, "Sonic the Hedgehog is only as successful as the corporeality of time y'all desire to spend watching its blithe protagonist continue instantly forgettable adventures, and boy, is that unfortunate."[140]
