* ''Hedgehogs,'' a Chinese animated film whose main character and [[StrangledByTheRedString obligatory love interest]] resemble Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and Amy Rose. Said main character starts as a [[MascotWithAttitude Sonic expy]], but then [[EasyAmnesia loses his memory]] and the film becomes a RandomEventsPlot with elements that rip off ''WesternAnimation/OverTheHedge'' and ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6''. The voice cast includes [[WebVideo/{{Smosh}} Anthony Padilla]] and... ''Creator/PatrickSeitz''?![[note]]What makes this funny is that Seitz had already done voice work for the ACTUAL Sonic games two years before this film came out, having voiced Lyric in the ''VideoGame/SonicBoom'' games![[/note]] WebVideo/{{Saberspark}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btJfFljUnmE takes a look at it here]].

* An app known as ''[[http://www.tssznews.com/2013/08/23/ripoff-sonic-game-appears-on-ios/#comment-176320 Hedgehog Dash]]'' was released in 2013. It is a '''very''' blatant ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' rip-off. The logo for it is basically identical to the ''VideoGame/SonicDash'' logo. It disappeared just as soon as it came without any fanfare.

* If Creator/TheAsylum are the poster boys for mockbusters in the 21st century, then Creator/AmericanInternationalPictures was this for films in the mid-20th century. This studio churned out low-budget [[BMovie B-movies]] from the 1950s to the 1970s aimed towards teenagers who liked Rock. The films were typically made through a concept and a movie poster first before any script was made.
