Summary: Too Dark
Comment: When remembering this series from watching it as a kid, I think of it as fun, humorous, bright and exciting.
When watching it as an adult, all I see is how evil and dark it is. Sure it's fast-paced, but it's definately not something I will let my children watch.

Summary: Only problem with this is, the wait was too long, I love it!
Comment: My first video game was Sonic 1 and sonic has been one of my favorite video game/animated heroes. I missed this show for so long, I had no way of watching it since it was either Youtubes poor quality or nothing. The show holds up after all these years, and really show's how Sonic was in the Genesis era. They don't make show's like this anymore. 5 stars

Summary: My favorite cartoon of the 90s!
Comment:
In the farest reach of the galaxy, there's a special planet with anthropomorphic animal-like alien beings called Mobius which was once beautiful. Until along time ago a insidious fiend named Dr. Robotnik who rules with an ironlaw as the king has disappeared, the residents of Moboropolis into robotic slaves including the city into robotropolis. Fortunately a brave hedgehog named Sonic (Voiced by Jaleel White) with love interest Princess Sally, two-tailed fox sidekick Tails and a crew of Freedom Fighters battle against the forces of Robotnik to save the planet.
A brilliant and unique Sci-fi animated series that lasted two seasons on ABC has became a modern cult animated show favorite since it debuted in 1993 as it was popular with kids, teens and some adults alike. The show offered dark atmosphere, action, good storylines, beautiful animation and emotion as well with great character design definitely made this a classic show. The characterizations is excellent including on the sexy Princess Sally Acorn, i admired the show since i was 11 years old and has always been a favorite of mine, the show is referred to as SATAM as oppose to the other "Sonic" cartoon of the same year called "Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog" which came out on weekdays while this came out saturday mornings.
Now it's finally on DVD just as the fans of this show requested for years! in a incredible DVD remastered and offers DVD artwork by fans of the show. There's 26 episodes all on this collection with two featurttes, deleted and extended sequences, concept art gallery, printable Heads or Tails pilot script and storyboard to screen.

Summary: Season 1 is iffy, Season 2 is Amazing
Comment: Sonic the Hedgehog- The Complete Series
This is a 4-Disk DVD Set is for the original Sonic the Hedgehog Cartoon. Many people loved it in 1993 and 1994 when it was playing with Fox's Saturday Morning Line-up, along with the phenomenon known as the Power Rangers. The show was not given the respect it deserved and was often taken off the air so Fox could show Saturday morning sports. So, as a viewer you would not always get to see Sonic on Saturday. The Power Rangers would always be on...but that's a juggernaut that Fox felt safe with. Sonic ran two seasons, each of them being 13 episodes. The second season ended with a huge cliffhanger that I won't spoil, but Fox still cancelled the show.
Before I go on into the content, I'd like to say that I never watched this show as a kid. I thought this was a different Sonic, and ended up picking this up by mistake. So, I am a fanboy in no way at all. So, if you are someone who's never watched this series before, my review will most likely be a good view of things for you.
This cartoon was made before characters like Knuckles, Amy, and all those other Sonic characters were even made. The only ones in this series you'll probably know are Dr. Robotnik (Dr. Eggman), Sonic, and Tails. Sonic's homeland has been taken over by the maniacal tyrant Dr. Robotnik. He has a machine called the Robotizer that turns people into his robot slaves. He has also overrun the world with pollution. All of the world except the Great Forest and it's secret hideout for the Freedom Fighters, Knothole. I don't want to spoil too much about how it happened as it does that in an episode. Sonic and the Freedom Fighters are trying to stop Dr. Robotnik whatever way they can. The cartoon is really dark considering it's a Sonic cartoon.
The first two disks contain Season 1. Season 1 doesn't really stay on a strict storyline at all. They pretty much show random events that happen during the lives of the Freedom Fighters as they fight against Dr. Robotnik. Nothing really special except a few stand out episodes that don't consist of "Let's do this to Robotnik, one of us gets caught, Sonic saves us".
Disks 3 and 4 are amazing though. They contain Season 2, which was a truly touching season. It followed a storyline Project Doomsday. Robotnik was preparing something really evil and Sonic was trying to figure out what to do most of the season. For part of the season he is helping his robot uncle turn back into a human. In the series of two episodes, Sonic and Sally, his almost-girlfriend, go back in time and it is revealed what happened to the world. It's truly a great story with a really great final episode. It would've been great if they would've continued on with the series.
The Bonus features consist of storyboards, concept art, and deleted sequences. I'm not one of those people who like seeing the drawings, but luckily there were also two interviews that were really intriguing. There is one with Jaleel White (Family Matters), who did the voice of Sonic. Another is with Ben Hurst, who was a writer on the series. Both are really interesting and pretty long.
I can't give this 5 stars, mainly due to the first Season not being as interesting. I still suggest that any fan or non-fan pick this up and watch it. Also, whoever says the box art is bad is out of their mind. It's created out of Fan Art. It's not all the best, but the way it is put together like a collage is very cool looking.
