Look at this.
Some Conceptual Pictures of Penders never made Archieverse Sonic Motion Picture.


Ken Penders pitched it Dreamworks Animation in 2002 & they seemed interessted, but somehow it didn't work out. What do you think?

Look at this.

Do I have to? It's really, really ugly.

Such a great loss, truly.

I refuse to live in a world where I won't be able to see a movie where a cyborg Snively operates on a Carebear.

This was pitched to Dreamworks in 2002? This is like the third Sonic film pitch I've heard about before. Penth's got some research on her hands today.

Although, looking at the artwork he apparently showed, it is absolutely unfathomable that the deal did not go through.

Wow, those screenshots looks really, really ugly. The fact that, if his recent art pieces of some of the Archie comic characters are anything to go by, his artistic skills barely, if even that, improved bothers me greatly.

It was pitched in 2002? No wonder it didn't pass, it'd be rendered obsolete by the time of the film release with those old designs!

Now the million dollar question is whether he had Sega's approval to pitch this to begin with.

Oh man, look at Knuckles' mouth in that last pic... XD

Yeah, I don't exactly know the Archie universe too well, but this doesn't really look like much of a loss to me. If a real Sonic movie ever gets made, I'd prefer it to be based on the games (either animated or CG, both could potentially work really well).

Ugh..... I don't really like archie comics and entire movie based on archie cannon? No thanks. I'd rather have movie based on one of the games or completely new movie but still with game canon. Luckily it didn't pass so...

I'm Kind of glad this idea got denied. I don't mind the Archie characters, but I don't think they should ever be cannon.

I'm glad I don't have to sit through a movie with that horrific artstyle.

Pretty sure Dreamworks would've prettied it up beyond recognition before they ever let anything looking close to Penders work leave their doors. I'd be more concerned about the script than anything.

What is it with Penders' tendency to make Sonic characters look like aliens?

Yeah. I suppose Ken Penders wouldn't have been in charge in Art & Animation, wich would have been of course a good thing.
The Plot is the Great Unknown about this Project. I try to find a Script or at least a Plot Sypnosis.

In 20XX Sonic faces his biggest challenge yet. Will he be able to reach The Robotnik's conveniently placed self-destruct button in time while having four dates on speed dial, three relationships to mediate and a girl recently-turned-ex to emotionally exploit and discard? Find out this summer in Ken Pender's An Abomination, please kill me.

I don't care about the art style or anything, even if it is as ugly as fuck.

No, you don't make a movie with the Archie characters. You don't give Sonic a room, he is a drifter.

You do not make him your "Average Teenager"


AND YOU DON'T MAKE SNIVLEY A CYBORG FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Are you sure this was pitched by Ken Penders???

When I look at it, I see a movie pitched by MariotehPlumber.


Thats also how I imagine he'd draw...
