![]() Running from 1992 to 2017, Archie Comics’ run on the franchise is by far the longest, spanning 290 issues in the main series, two spinoffs, two tie-in series for cartoons, and a large collection of specials and supplementary content. It is… certainly a thing that will happen. A sixth part dropped out of the blue near Christmas as a holiday special, guest starring Amy Rose.Ī live-action/CG hybrid movie is due out on November 8th, 2019, starring Ben Schwartz as Sonic and Jim Carrey as Dr. And in the run up to Sonic Mania Plus’s release in 2018, which also marked the first physical release for Sonic Mania in general, Sega released Sonic Mania Adventures, a five-part series of shorts-written and directed by fan-favorite artist Tyson Hesse-starring the five playable characters of Sonic Mania Plus as they chase Eggman and each other across Angel Island. The soundtrack was changed, entire portions were edited out, and phrases were excised or changed to make the show more family-oriented.Ī couple smaller projects have trickled out over time, too, as part of the marketing for upcoming games: As part of Sonic Unleashed’s promotion in 2008, Sega’s then-new CGI studio produced Night of the Werehog, a short silent film in which Sonic and Chip find themselves staying the night in a mansion haunted by a trio of Casper-style ghosts, and neither side has any idea what they’re in for. 4Kids Entertainment picked up the license for the series in the west, and as a result, the English version of the show was edited for broadcasting guidelines. A lot of these characters served to assist in developing the main Sonic cast in terms of comedy or even drama (with one example being the relationship between Tails and Cosmo in the second season). Sonic X also introduced many different characters to the Sonic Universe, such as Bokkun, the Thorndyke family, Topaz and Cosmo. Although not very successful in Japan, despite a 52-episode run, the series was very successful abroad, and an additional 25 episodes were made as a “second season” for the series, chronicling Sonic & friends’ travels in space to defeat the Metarex army. Portions of the first season also adapted Sonic Adventure. He meets Chris Thorndyke, a human boy who provides them shelter while they try to thwart Dr. It follows Sonic (Jason Griffith) and the rest of the main cast of the games teleporting to Earth. The next Sonic animated feature was Sonic X, animated and produced in Japan by TMS Entertainment. The majority of the show’s characters, story elements, and tone were retained in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by Archie Comics. The final episode was aired in 1994 and was not picked up for a third season. It is also the only Sonic cartoon that does not involve the Chaos Emeralds at all. The series itself had a more story-driven and darker tone, complementing the wackiness and humorous tone of its sister show. Robotnik, who had betrayed her father and roboticized the majority of the population. ![]() The series followed Sonic, Tails, and a resistance group called the Freedom Fighters who were led by Princess Sally Acorn to stand up against Dr. It got its fan name due to being broadcast on early Saturday mornings. SatAM was the other DiC produced cartoon also debuting in 1993. It also included brief snippets of Robotnik’s personal history, with some episodes focusing on Mama Robotnik. Robotnik (voiced by the late Long John Baldry) and his robot lackeys Grounder, Scratch, and Coconuts. It focused on Sonic and Tails’s adventures throughout Mobius while foiling the plans of Dr. The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog took a more humorous approach to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, often including slapstick comedy and one-note episodes (rather than being story and drama-driven like SatAM). ![]() However, the two shows could not have been any different. ![]() Jaleel White of Family Matters fame provided the voice for Sonic the Hedgehog for both shows. Both Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) and The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (AoStH) debuted in September 1993 both produced by DiC Entertainment to represent Sonic the Hedgehog on TV. ![]()
