The 90s Sonic cartoons
 

whether it's the adventures of sonic the hedgehog, Satam, the 1996 ova or Underground

here's a thread to discuss your thoughts on the 90s Sonic cartoons

Uh, well, Eggman looked weird in all three of them. That's something.

I loved the first two. Just couldn't buy into the concept of Sonic Underground, as much as I liked the usage of the Satam art style. And as much as I loved Jaleel's Sonic voice, I just didn't think it was a good idea having him voice all the "Sonic siblings," especially the Sonia character.

As far as art design on AoStH, I really like Milton Knight's work. So sue me, I guess.

Leo will of course extol the virtues of Satam and the divine Sally in due course. There's a whole thread devoted to the fans who are making a third season of the show with industry professionals which says a great deal how much of a cultural impact it left.

Sonic Underground ain't too bad, given Satam's Ben Hurst worked on it, and the theme song is a banger

You wanna hear something funny?

In one segment of “Sonic Sez”, Sonic tells kids that smoking is not cool.

Then years later, his voice actor Jaleel White launches his own brand of weed.

:lol:

I was kinda thinking Sonic was only bashing the traditional nicotine/tobacco cigarette.

Pretty cool fan animation re-creating the old Sonic Sez SEGAments:

I mean… they are all fine in their own different ways. Never watched any as a kid (I guess they weren’t on any of the stations I was watching at the time) if I had to choose which was the best it would be OVA, but only by quality (which, an ova animation is a different beast from TV animation so bad point)

You sure got a lotta faith in me. :lol: I'm cleaning the entire upstairs of our house, I'm only on at all today because I needed to take a lunch break.

But in brief, I really liked SatAM, tolerated "Adventures of..." - it's "fine" as a cartoon for very young children but I was already too old for it by the time it came out - and Sonic Underground just plain did not grab me at all. I have the shows on DVD, including the ones I don't like so much, but SatAM is the only one I ever bother to watch, mostly because you could binge the entire series in a weekend.

SatAM is actually more aptly-titled "Princess Sally and Her Idiot Doofus Boyfriend", since she does all the heavy lifting and Sonic actually makes things worse as much as he helps out. And the Season Two budget cuts made it even more prominent by pushing all the other supporting cast deep into the background and giving all of their "work" to Sally. But it's still a fun, well-written show and I liked the more "mature" take on the material.

They're all trash except for the OVA, which kicks major ass.

The ova is the best of them imo. Only saw SatAM season 1 and never saw Underground as a kid, but I watched all three later on the Pop UK tv channel in the late 00s. Adventures is second best for me. It is trash, but in a “so bad, it’s good” way. Underground is ok. I liked how like Adventures the characters went from place to place whereas in SatAM most episodes were set in Robotropolis.

I've seen the trailer for that third season project, it looks really good

I've seen some of adventures,which I enjoyed and I watched a lot of underground on the kix channel, I haven't seen much of satam aside from clips

Underground is in the "so bad it's good" category for me

Adventures reminds me a lot of looney tunes with Sonic's disguises, with Scratch and Grounder being like the Bebop and Rocksteady of the series

I love Robotnik, Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts from Aosth. Its like the Sonic equivalent of the Technodrome crew.

As for the ova, I love what I've seen of it, the animation is amazing and I like how they handled Metal Sonic and Knuckles as characters, but some of the English dub voices are a bit mixed for me.

yeah I feel like Robotnik and Shredder would get along, with their shared love for robotics and dislike of their rivals

The only one I like is Sonic SatAM.

Is the OVA the thing that was released on video and DVD as "Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie" back in the late-90s or whatever?

I own that, and I've watched it, but it left no impression on me whatsoever. I guess I should look at it again, it's been a very long time.

yeah, in technical terms it is an ova, but it was marketed as "sonic the hedgehog the movie" before Paramount pictures took that title years later.

in Japan, it was released in two parts, while the American version combined them into one film, kind of like Secret of the Sword for the 80s she-ra cartoon.

I enjoyed all 3 shows.

I know not many people liked Sonic Underground but I thought Sleet was cool. I like his voice actor and how he sounds exactly like The Brain.

I like the Sonic Sez segments in AOSTH. I feel a lot of them offer great life lessons like Knowing is Half The Battle in GI Joe and Inspector Gadget’s safety tips. Sonic Sez taught me common sense like you don’t ever want to end up in court, stay away from poison ivy, use sunscreen.

Count me in with that opinion.
