I enjoy watching cartoons, drawing, and making up ideas for movies, shows, or spoofs that I'd like to create and post online.

Info
This is an idea of mine for a Sonic the Hedgehog reboot (which most likely means it won't happen). I feel that a true Sonic story should combine elements from the video games with elements from Sonic SatAM and the Archie comics. It should probably be about as dark as Batman: The Animated Series. Maybe Lauren Faust could work on it. Look at how far animated ponies have come. The movie/series would have to be rated PG-13 at the most (just for violence, NOT swearing) and have either CGI animation or traditional animation (it would be awesome either way). If they do use CGI animation, it should be animated by the company that helped make Sonic: Night of the Werehog. Redesigns wouldn't matter since the Freedom Fighters got redesigned anyway. Their original SatAM designs could be featured in a flashback indicating how young they were.

If it were a movie or video game, its trailer theme should be Freedom Fighter by Creed if not something similar. If it were a TV show, its theme should be a short (maybe between 0:48 and 1:00) instrumental version of His World or any other Sonic song. As for the voice actors, I thought that adding Jaleel White as a younger version of Sonic would be great for those who grew up watching AOSTH, Sonic SatAM, or Sonic Underground. All the current voice actors from the Sonic video games can reprise their roles (yes, even Cindy Robinson, whose voice for Amy has actually improved). Sally, Nicole, and Antoine would retain their original voices as well. Since Christine Cavanaugh retired from voice acting, I think Tabitha St. Germain would be a suitable substitute for the role of Bunnie. I also believe that John DiMaggio can do a good voice for Rotor, not that I have anything against Cam Brainard.

Now, if such a movie or game ever existed, there could most likely be one or more sequels. Of course, sequels are supposed to be bigger and better than the first movie. It has been said that The Dark Knight was better than Batman Begins. The movie could probably be over two hours and thirty minutes (about as long as your average superhero flick nowadays). You can't rush good work. Just look at Sonic '06 (which I like, by the way). However, if this were a TV show, it would have to take a much bigger risk. Taking inspiration from Codename: Kids Next Door, the series starts out light-hearted, but would get darker and edgier as time goes by. The 2004 Batman TV series didn't quite do this well enough. It pretty much went backwards instead, starting out as a dark and edgy series and turning into something light-hearted. Something else the show would obviously need is action, and lots of it. You just can't have Sonic the Hedgehog without action. There also needs to be character development. They could start by introducing the main characters in the first episode (which should be a two-parter) and possibly explaining how they first formed their team. The next episodes could introduce more heroes and villains and every season can have some sort of epic finale. It could get about 4 or 5 seasons and maybe an epic TV movie like KND and Teen Titans did. One mistake you don't want to make, though, is end a season with a cliffhanger too soon, considering what happened with Sonic SatAM. The Simpsons were lucky enough to get away with that since they didn't end their 2nd season with a cliffhanger; they waited for a long time. This series could take a lesson from that. If that's too risky, it could at least have a two-part season premiere/finale much like MLP:FIM.

Movie & Video Game Plot
''Every passing hour of every day, the Eggman Empire grows stronger, humans and animals get roboticized, and Mobius suffers from the uncontrollable wrath of the villainous and cold-hearted Doctor Eggman. Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies try everything they can to bring down the machine, but it's never enough. Upon uncovering the doctor's plan to obliterate Knothole Village, the Blue Blur decides to warn some 'old friends of theirs'. Sonic, Tails, and Amy set course for Knothole to rescue the Freedom Fighters while Knuckles, Shadow, and the rest of the gang fight alongside what little resistance is left. Together, the Sonic Heroes of today and the Freedom Fighters of yesterday hope to silence their longtime arch-nemesis for good. It's either their defining moment or their last stand. Can the Fastest Thing Alive somehow find a way to overcome the odds and protect the ones he loves, or will he and his army of crime-fighters be decimated at the hands of the tyrannical overlord?''

TV Series Plot
''The world has been changing. For years, Mobians everywhere have had to suffer under the reign of Doctor Eggman. It is nothing but torture for humans and animals alike. But there is one certain team of rebels brave enough to step out of the blue and stand up to the machine. Their sole purpose in life is to fight for freedom...and chili dogs if there are any. Join Sonic the Hedgehog, Sally Acorn and the Freedom Fighters as they look to make the world a safer place. They will meet with friends and foes of all kinds. Lives will be at stake and secrets will be revealed, but it all comes down to one question in the end: who will survive?''

Info
If there's one VeggieTales character who deserves a theatrical movie, it's LarryBoy. Superhero movies are very popular nowadays, considering the Marvel films like Deadpool (finally) being made. If LarryBoy were to get a movie, it would have to be as good as superhero films today. They could make it dark and edgy, but not too dark since it would have to be aimed at children as well as adults. It should be rated PG at best. It could even include various elements from LarryBoy: The Cartoon Adventures (i.e. Larry's a janitor at the Daily Bumble). The movie can also have a decent comic book feel and use an epic musical score. LarryBoy MUST save the day in the end and act more heroic (less meaningless behavior). It would probably help if LarryBoy's voice was slightly grittier than Larry's. He also needs a bunch of Batman-ish gadgets (i.e. S.M.A.R.T. cape and other stuff featured in the LarryBoy and the Bad Apple video game, etc.). Alfred could have his own motorcycle in addition to his scooter and the viewers could actually SEE Larry putting on the LarrySuit. The League can appear as long as they have less screen time than LarryBoy. Bob is the editor at the Daily Bumble, while Junior serves as the Daily Bumble's cub reporter. Petunia's still a news reporter, and Mr. Lunt works as a baker (he had that job in LarryBoy and the Bad Apple). Somehow, seeing as how Dr. Flurry got over his fear of LarryBoy, I like to believe that he redeemed himself after being released from prison. He could work at the Bumblyburg Science Lab.

Then there's the main villain. Every superhero needs at least one nemesis to face in a movie, because there are some superhero movies out there with way too many villains (i.e. Spider-Man 3). Not every superhero movie with more than one villain is bad (i.e. The Dark Knight Rises), but if there is more than one villain, you'd have to be very careful. I can see Motatoe as a formidable opponent for the plunger-headed hero. When he appears on VeggieTales in the House, he's most likely going to be a whacky weirdo (like Awful Alvin who, by the way, is a great villain) instead of a dark and sinister mastermind (like the Bad Apple who is just as great). However, this movie has a chance to portray him differently. In the SpongeBob SquarePants TV series, Plankton is a comedy villain who sometimes acts like he's not evil at all (i.e. Band Geeks). The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which was darker and edgier than the show, made him more depraved and vicious (he wanted SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs killed). The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie featured a villain named Robert the Terrible who tried to kill the main characters, which proves that Big Idea can make dark VeggieTales villains. Motatoe looks like the kind of guy who could be just evil as Plankton and Robert were in their respective movies (if not better). Give him an extremely diabolical scheme to concoct and just like that, he's ready to go. His plan could involve trying to kill LarryBoy in some way. It could help if Motatoe had a partner or two. In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Dennis worked with Plankton. In Marvel's Daredevil film (which I found interesting, to say the least), Bullseye worked with the Kingpin. So Motatoe could work with someone as well. There also needs to be a motivation (we need to know what his plan is and why he's doing it). The whole 'revenge on the hero' story's been overdone, so that's out of the question. And finally, since it's VeggieTales, there has to be one important thing added to this story: a valuable lesson (and a possible verse to go with it).
