Sonic: Wonders of the World

Sonic the Hedgehog: Wonders of the World is an unfinished film adaption based off the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The film was written by Richard Jefferies and was intended to be a co-production of MGM, Trilogy Entertainment Group and SEGA. Production began in 1994, but was cancelled the following year before production could begin.

Plot
A 12 year old boy named Josh who's suffering from his parent's divorce meets Sonic and goes out on an adventure with him.

Why It Got Cancelled

 * 1) First and foremost, one of the executives at Sega treated Richard Jefferies somewhat poorly and told him that Eggman wasn't a scary enough villain.
 * 2) MGM dropped out of developing the film.
 * 3) DreamWorks was expected to produce an animated Sonic the Hedgehog movie, but seemed to have no interest at all, for absolutely no apparent reason, except that they were more interested in creating wholly original movies, plus films based on books.

Results

 * The film was permanently cancelled.
 * Sonic X-Treme, a game which was going to be in the film was also cancelled for development reasons.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie, a two episode OVA was released for Japan in 1996 and North America in 1999.
 * A CGI/live action Sonic the Hedgehog film with Jim Carrey and James Marsden was released on February 14, 2020.
