The Insane Differences Between the Sonic Books and Movies

The Sonic cinematic universe, solidified my love for this franchise. Because of that I decided to take a deep dive into the novelizations of these movies. Only a few pages in it became very apparent to me that there is a lot different between the books and movies. Some of these changes will certainly surprise you!

Mobius wasn't actually retconed, in Japan Sonic always lived on Earth and had a far more in depth plot. However Sega of America and Europe instead of properly translating the manuals, changed everything and made the plot simpler as a result. This caused several things that was built up and forshadowed like Chaos, to feel like they came out of nowhere if you were not familiar with the true canon. Furthermore, Mobius in SatAM and Archie was just a future Earth anyway.

Well there was one Japanese Sonic cartoon where Sonic and his friends came to Earth from their own world, and that was Sonic X.

Fun facts: Certain scenes like Tom talking to Sonic about his feelings or Robotnik firing a beacon after a mushroom trip were actually adapted from deleted scenes from the movies!

GREAT 👌 SONIC THEORY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SONIC MOVIES AND BOOKS.

I think that's because usually when movie novelisations are made, the final version of the screenplay isn't done yet.

In my own experience, novelizations are just as complex, odd and interesting as movie/show adaptations. Often I find novelizations are great places to expand on details that a movie had to skim for time as well as give insight on more characters, but in return, the pacing and some moments in the movie are usually changed or lost. Might be because novelizations are often written during the movie production/not 1 to 1 with the movie script, so things are cut or added in both. I think of them like alternate/enhanced tellings, where the main events of the movie is what happened for the most part, but the details from the novel are added on to tell the complete story. I’m really happy that a lot of the characters get more moments, especially Longclaw and Tails, both of whom I really wanted more insight on. Also, this really makes me realize that movie!Sonic really is like the childhood we never had in the games. He’s so different from what Sonic is, but you can totally see him eventually grow into the hedgehog he is today :)

Right! Going in was looking forward to getting expanded detail on the lore, but I was honestly surprised at some of the changes in the book! The character moments did seem to be really fleshed out which was nice. Yeah tails really got some great moments in the book and its always wonderful to see more of Longclaw!

I wonder if the books were based on earlier ideas for the film scripts.

@spongebobfan78 10 ай бұрын

The part where Tom talks about emotion to Sonic was supposed to be in the movie as it was available as a viewable deleted scene on the Blu-ray(?) release.

Man it really sounds like the books took the "Chaos is power enriched by the heart" part of Tikal's prayer and went with it lmao

The way the Emeralds react to Sonic and Robotnik is pretty consistent with that concept, even if it's not stated though.

Nice video! I enjoyed learning about the differences. Knuckles mentioning mobius in the novelization was likely based off an earlier script for the film as seen on a storyboard, it got scrapped likely due to the unfortunate sega mandates. I was listening to the ghz podcast interview about the sequel, and pat casey claimed that they were planning to feature angel island were knuckles would bring robotnik with him there after encountering him on the mushroom planet, telling him that he needs the master emerald back to prevent its collapse. They were even going to feature the ice cap zone from Sonic 3&k until they replaced it with siberia. It would be cool if at least some of that made thier way into the final film

@SonicTheory96 10 ай бұрын

That would've been really cool to see in the film. Its crazy that they ended up changing so much but the movie still was a ton of fun! Thanks for all the extra info 😁

Great video, loved learning about these differences! My only, yet major, criticism is the use of AI pictures throughout the video. It's production process and usage is extremely problematic for many reasons, so it would be better if you refrain from using it again.( Or at least research why AI is so bad)

The AI is very distracting.. the video is otherwise interesting but the ai makes me kinda gag... pls commission artists, so many do great sonic art! or just use clips and screenshots from the movies or promotional material, even the comics. but AI is actively making me click off the video.
