Sonic X
In August 1994, Sega of America signed a deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Trilogy Entertainment to produce a live-action animated film to tie in with "Sonic X-treme". In May 1995, screenwriter Richard Jefferies pitched a treatment, "Sonic the Hedgehog: Wonders of the World", to Sega. The treatment saw Sonic and Eggman escape from "Sonic X-treme" into the real world and Sonic collaborate with a boy to stop Eggman. No agreement was reached and the film was canceled. Jeffries, with permission from Sega, pitched his treatment to DreamWorks Animation, but it was rejected.
