"Sonic the Hedgehog" (or "Sonic SatAM" as it was nick-named due to it airing on Saturday mornings) was the second animated series based on Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog video games. And like the previous Sonic show this one was also produced by DIC Entertainment, and also featured Jaleel White (Steve Urkel from "Family Matters") as the voice of Sonic. But unlike that show, this one had an actual continuing story, an actually menacing version of Dr. Robotnik, and was also more serious, darker, and dramatic. But this type of show suits Sonic much better if you ask me. This show follows the same story of the video game series, but there are new Freedom Fighters like Princess Sally Acorn, Antoine Depardieu, Bunnie Rabbot, Rotor, and starting in season 2: Dulcy. Also there is now a king of Mobius (voiced by Tim Curry), Sonic now has a super-smart, robotic genius uncle, Dr. Robotnik has a nephew named Snively, and in this show Robotnik has already taken over Mobius, so it's kind of a sequel to the games.This show was just great. It leaves the first Sonic toon (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) in the dust. SatAM had stories that were very well written, and very interesting. The writers on this show obviously put a lot of effort and work into this show. There were the exciting action-filled scenes, the sad scenes, and the funny scenes. Also this show had an excellent voice cast. With Jaleel White ("Family Matters") as Sonic, Kath Soucie ("Rugrats"; "Dexter's Laboratory") as Sally, Jim Cummings ("The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh"; "Goof Troop"; "Darkwing Duck"; "The Lion King"; "Aladdin"; "The Powerpuff Girls") as Dr. Robotnik, Charlie Adler ("Rocko's Modern Life"; "Tiny Toon Adventures"; "Cow and Chicken"; "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters"; "The Smurfs"; "Beavis and Butt-Head") as Snively, Rob Paulsen ("Animaniacs"; "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"; "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius"; "Goof Troop"; "The Tick"; "Pinky and the Brain"; "The Fairly OddParents") as Antoine, Christine Cavanaugh ("Rugrats"; "The Critic"; "Babe"; "Dexter's Laboratory"; "Darkwing Duck"; "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters") as Bunnie, and Cree Summer ("Inspector Gadget"; "Tiny Toon Adventures"; "Rugrats"; "Drawn Together") as Dulcy. These very talented voice actors and voice actresses brought a lot of life into the characters.Sadly this show was canceled on a cliff-hanger. The final episode of season 2 wasn't supposed to be the ending. They left it on a cliff-hanger to get people excited over season 3. But when the new ABC president came in 1994 he said he didn't like the show, and thought it wasn't good competition for Fox's "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers". So he canceled it. And we never got to see Tails as a full-fledged Freedom Fighter, what Snively would do when he was in control, who those red, sinister pair of eyes belonged to (writer Ben Hurst said they were Naugus's eyes), what happened to Robotnik (Hurst said he got sucked into The Void), or see the citizens of Mobotropolis turn back into animals, and the planet Mobius return to it's former beautiful and peaceful state.Well Sonic SatAM is just a fantastic show. It had great characters, superb voice acting, and excellent writing. Too bad the plots were never resolved. Still, it's easily the best animated video game adaptation to date, and honestly, one of the only good ones.Rating: 9/10 "Excellent"

Sonic The Hedgehog (SatAM) was the second Sonic cartoon. And unlike it's predecessor, this show was actually good! Robotnik was a great villain, Jaleel White was a great choice for Sonic's voice, Snively was funny, and I liked Sally, Bunnie, Antoine, Tails, Rotor, and Uncle Chuck as well. This show had great writers, and it proved that cartoons could be based on video games and still be good. Every episode (except the Antoine shorts) was interesting, and very entertaining. I'm sad that Season 3 never came out. I bought this show on DVD a while back, and I still watch it every once in a while. This show is TIMELESS. The 90's had such great cartoons, and Sonic SatAM joins the long list of cartoons that I think everyone should watch. You'll most likely be able to find the complete series DVD on eBay or Amazon.com OVERALL: 10 out of 10

I used to watch this show religiously, I absolutely loved it. Why this brilliant show was cancelled, and so abruptly too, is beyond me. It is not only one of the best animated shows of the 90s but also one of the best animated shows ever. The 80s and 90s were the best times for animated shows, though I do like Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo and anything by Hanna-Barbera, and I wish cartoons could be more like them. Cartoons now are either bad or once good shows now gone mediocre. Yes, "Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM" is more darker and edgier than some animated shows I have seen, but I liked that. The animation was wonderful, the characters do move convincingly and the background design is creative. And the theme tune? I thought Darkwing Duck, Talespin and DuckTales had irresistibly catchy theme tunes, this theme tune makes me want to jump up and sing and dance along. The episode ideas are outstanding, and the scripts are completely devoid of cheese, something I truly appreciate, and have a touch of sweetness(natural not sickly) and fun about them. Great characters too, Sonic, Princess Sally Acorn, King Acorn, RobotNik, Tails, Snively and Antoine, all brought to life by a truly talented voice cast such as Jaleel White, Christine Cavanaugh, Charles Adler, Rob Paulson, Bradley Pierce, Tim Curry and Kath Soucie. But special mention has to go to Jim Cummings, who voiced smooth and sinister RobotNik to absolute perfection. Overall, a brilliant show and by today's standards underrated. 10/10 Bethany Cox

i loved the character of Bunnie she is my favorite character along with Sonic Sally, i cried when Bunnie got her cute little Bunnie bod back only for it to be taking away again, the voice actor for Bunnie Christine Cavanaugh did a great job as her voice, i miss this show i hope it comes on DVD soon, Sonic the hedgehog was an awesome show i hope they can bring this show back somehow all the voice actors did an amazeing job i think i liked Bunnie cause i felt for her she was this hot sexy little Bunny who had her cute little bod taking away from her she was the best, plus Bunnie had that cute little accent reminded me of Rogue from x-men.
