Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
Due to its groundbreaking format , the cartoon has had a strong cult following ever since it began. In the first season, SatAM focuses its subplots on subject matter that is unusual for most American children's cartoons; placing its setting in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and using story concepts such as losing family members to war : SatAM is considered "darker" than most American cartoons. Nevertheless, the cartoon remains almost entirely family friendly, as this subject matter is depicted in a slightly softened manner.
While Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was very light-hearted and comical, Sonic the Hedgehog featured a much more complex plot and a more dramatic atmosphere that constitutes a departure from the overall tone of the Sonic games. SatAM also contrasts Sonic Underground just as sharply: Sonic Underground does not deal with the same subject matter, but instead focuses its plots on the positive social development of younger viewers. SatAM is the primary inspiration for the Archie comic book series of the same name, which continues to use elements and characters from this series.
There are some lasting similarities between this show and the comic; however, there are many notable differences in overall tone and character portrayal.
The show takes place on a planet called Mobius sometime in its 33rd century. Mobius is largely populated with anthropomorphic animals. A mad warlord and former scientist named Dr. Robotnik was aided in the conquest by his assistant and nephew Snively voiced by Charlie Adler and his army of robot soldiers, called SWATbots. Both Julian and Snively seem to be human. Capturing the palace, Robotnik declared himself to be the new King. King Maximillian is never seen or heard from again.
Robotnik soon captured most of the citizens, including an intelligent old hedgehog named Sir Charles Hedgehog voiced by William Windom and his crowning invention, the Roboticizer. The Roboticizer, intended to prolong life, changes living creatures into robots. The Roboticizer also has the effect of robbing an individual of their free will; so Charles tried to destroy it.
He failed however, as Robotnik stole the plans to the device, built his own, and used the device against the captives. Some citizens managed to escape the coup, and fled to Knothole Village in the Great Forest to hide from Robotnik's army.
Under Princess Sally, the King's only heir they formed a group called the Freedom Fighters to hopefully restore Mobius and end Robotnik's rule. The Knothole Freedom Fighters foil Robotnik's schemes wherever they can, but they fail to make much difference at large as Robotnik literally rules the planet with an iron fist. In the first season, there is constant implication that Robotnik's overuse of the planet's resources forces him to search for more usable energy.
See episode: "Sub Sonic". Largely non-verifiable. The cartoon was intended as a replacement prototype for Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog , which was deemed too silly to meet the demands of ABC's intended audience. It seems that the concept was changed several times: In , an article in Sonic the Comic the British comic officially licensed by Sega Of Europe announced two new television series starring Sonic the Hedgehog, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Within the four pages of plot synopsis and concept art, the group of screen shots representing Sonic the Hedgehog greatly differ from the rest appear without explanation. These screen shots have been circulated through the Internet, contributing to the theory of a cartoon series aborted before production. The supporting characters in the Pre-SatAM cartoon are based on the small animals freed from enemies in the original Sonic the Hedgehog game, as are the main characters of the finished product, but they are wildly different in design.
They all bear the same names as those attributed to the various video game animal characters listed in the UK book, Stay Sonic , which were also used in Sonic the Comic strips. The images went on to inspire redesigns of Sonic the Comic supporting characters Johnny Lightfoot and Porker Lewis - while originally they were single the basic rabbit and pig video-game character designs, they were abruptly redesigned to be given humanoid proportions and the leather jackets the image depicted.
Most notable in the image is the lack of Tails; it could be that the concept was drawn up before Tails' arrival in the series. Its storytelling style specifically Season 1 overtly reflects a heavy Americanization of typical 's Japanese Sci-fi Anime. Initially very popular, Sonic the Hedgehog: the Animated Series made and sold more non-videogame merchandise than all other Sonic products combined through Evidence of this popularity exists in statements made by the writer of Sonic the Hedgehog, issue 50, the Endgame arc in which it was implicitly stated that when the show was cancelled, the comic book's sales received a major boost from dedicated SatAM fans, preventing the comic from being cancelled, and boosting it into first place as the most popular Archie Publications comic book.
Statements by Ben Hurst the cartoon's secondary editor in a letter reveal that Sonic the Hedgehog was cancelled for reasons regarding the portrayal of Sonic, not for lack of viewers. Fans consistently state that the cartoon has dark implications and is full of action, yet is humorous, and romantic, letting neither humor nor "dark" storytelling or romance supersede other elements of the cartoon until the second season.
It generally receives "good" or "excellent" reviews from non-committal parties, none notable, with the possible exception of Doug Walker, The Nostalgia Critic , who rated it as the twelfth best children's animated series.
The cartoon does not deviate in basic concept, but the execution of the concept is very different. In the rest of the franchise, Dr.
Robotnik is portrayed as a bumbling, foolish, mad scientist. His attempts at global takeover always fail, and he is not likely to foresee his shortcomings. His inventions are usually inefficient with a few exceptions and always fail, even when they succeed in the short term. He is usually under the name Dr. Eggman, as the other portrayals of him are usually egg-shaped. In this series, Robotnik is a masterfully tactful combat-veteran, episode: Blast to the Past and the simplest of his machines are extremely dangerous, even to Sonic.
Ivo", and is not Eggman at all. In the rest of the franchise, Sonic is usually described as a drifter who lives as he wants, and makes life a series of events and adventures.
Sonic hates oppression and staunchly defends freedom. Although he is mostly easy-going he has a short temper and is often impatient with slower things. Sonic is a habitual daredevil hedgehog who is honest, loyal to friends, keeps his promises, and dislikes tears. He is not usually very intelligent. The characterizations vary widely In this cartoon, Sonic's short temper is present, as well as his hatred of oppression.
He is more arrogant, and generally meaner than other portrayals of him Second to his appearances in Sonic: the Movie , and Sonic the Comic , which are not related to this cartoon He is portrayed as easy-going unless danger arises, in which case he suddenly becomes highly direct and professional. Super Sonic. In this cartoon, Knuckles and Amy do not appear, as they were not complete characters yet. Tails was given a tersiary role, and was portrayed as very clever.
Also, Princess Sally is Sonic's love interest in this cartoon: none of the other usual romance characters were existent.
While obviously a children's show, the first season minus "Heads or Tails" possesses a fairly large amount of noticeable content that is generally considered mildly offensive. Some sound content was edited from the NCircle Entertainment DVDs to remove some very mild swearing, some minced oaths , and various innuendos. After season 1, the cartoon was stated to be "too moody" for its home network by the ABC board of directors. It was decided that the second season would have several episodes devoted entirely to humor, while "darker" plot developments and possibilities, as well as all violence, was reduced in magnitude.
In Season 1, Princess Sally wore only a pair of boots. In an interview with screen-writer Ben Hurst, he mentioned that the third season had already been plotted out before the show's cancellation.
However, only three episodes had even reached the concept stage Upon the request of an eager fanbase, Hurst revealed the unknown villain would be the wizard Ixis Naugus. Robotnik was not killed on Doomsday; rather, he has become trapped within the Void as Naugus' prisoner.
Snively would briefly rise to power and assume his uncle's title as oppressive overlord, but quickly fails thanks to Sonic and the Freedom Fighters. Out of desperation, Snively frees Naugus from the void, and in the process also frees Robotnik and King Acorn, though the two have become the wizard's slaves. Naugus immediately usurps the title of main villain and uses King Acorn as bait to try and capture Sally.
Snively, reduced to nothing, defects to the side of the Freedom Fighters which briefly occurred in the Archie comic storyline. There would be more developments in the relationship between Sonic and his friend Tails, who discovers an " incredible power " and saves the Freedom Fighters from a "great disaster". It has also been mentioned that Sally would romance someone other than Sonic.
The origins of Dr. Robotnik and Snively would also be revealed. Hurst stated that no scripts were written for Season 3. He also stated that he is done trying to produce Season 3 and has given up: he presented the idea to SEGA, but all of his attempts at reviving the cartoon have been ignored. He was in his mids. According to Ben Hurst's response letter to online personality Sonique of Fans United for SatAM, the show was cancelled because during the time the second season was aired, the producers were in a ratings battle with the Power Rangers which was a powerfully influential TV show at the time: The cartoon did not pull the ratings required to keep it on the air.
Later, Hurst printed a retraction to that statement, see above, under Reception stating that the show was forcibly cancelled by SEGA for conceptual reasons. The first was The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo , which aired in The show is the primary inspiration for the Archie Comic book series of the same name, and it's influence can still be seen.
Several characters and themes were used, but the comic follows an entirely different continuity and should not be used to reference the show's storyline or character portrayal. The similarity between the TV show and comic seem to be a result of the comic's early issues, Sonic The Hedgehog 1- 25, being based on the show's pre-production notes. See the episode: "Heads or Tails", the only episode to directly resemble comics 1- All later episodes have only visual similarities to all later comic issues.
The series aired reruns in syndication from to However, the series has not been re-run on television in Canada since its cancellation on CTV.
It initially had a complete run on the UK television channel Channel 4 from to The entire series was released on DVD by Shout! Factory on March 27, in the USA. Cover art by Ken Penders and released by Shout! Factory and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
In an interview with Peter Morawiec, former programmer for Sega Technical Institute and the famed creator of Comix Zone , it was revealed that he had developed a prototype game based on the Sonic the Hedgehog: the Animated Series.
He used a completely different game engine than the one used in the Sonic Team-produced games in the franchise. It would have been the second time that characters from the cartoon series would have shown up after Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball , and the first video game appearances of both this cartoon's versions of Robotnik and Snively.
In the interview Morawiec states that the sprites and background are actually bit. Possibly due to how slow paced the demo was, Yuji Naka disliked the project and it was cancelled before it could be developed any further. The game was meant to have fast moving segments, however, they were not seen in the demo. Sonic Mars and Sonic X-Treme, two other canceled Sonic games, featured characters overtly lifted from the cartoon, including Princess Sally and Bunnie Rabbot as playable characters.

New Sonic Show to Debut on Cartoon Network
Sonic Boom was an independent production, acquired and aired almost stealthily by Cartoon Network beginning in , with a later run on their Boomerang channel. Not being a gamer, I had no idea the series existed until I stumbled across it on Amazon Prime video earlier this year. And how did it ever come into existence? In search of answers I tracked down and pummeled its executive producer Bill Freiberger with questions via Email, who was kind enough to put up with my queries…. My plan was to use stand-up as a steppingstone into television. During this time, I was also writing spec TV and movie scripts.

Few characters in the gaming world could say they have the same level of staying power as Sonic the Hedgehog. Blue Blur has been hitting TV screens since and there is certainly no shortage of games supporting it, both well received and critically panned. Later this year, Sonic Frontiers is set to take the franchise forward in what is expected to be another great entry in the series, launching Sonic in the future of the series.
In , Sonic the Hedgehog, raced his way onto television screens. The series ran for 65 episodes and focused on a light-hearted take on the character, complete with goofs and gags. Although Adventures of Sonic was not a critical hit, the show proved that Sonic could work in animated form, and was soon followed by further Sonic cartoons. But how many Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon shows are there? To date, there are six Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon shows. The television shows are as follows:.
So your CG Sonic film design went "boom" and now you're this week's internet laughingstock? I don't have any advice for the crew on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie and its soon to be overworked staff. We'll all have to wait to see what kind of design overhaul the titular blue hedgehog gets before December, but almost anything would be better than the toothy Whoville reject we got in the trailer. Paramount Pictures is hardly the first American company to adapt Sega 's video game star for the screen. Sonic has found himself in American cartoons, animated video game openings, and anime over his nearly 30 year career.
Sonic has had a lot of media variations that have, quite honestly, worked well in his favor. While the live-action movies have been a fun, pleasant surprise , Sonic fans have had a wealth of content beyond the video games that have been, as the Blue Blur would say, way past cool. Sonic and TV just… work!
