Sonic SatAM

Doppleganger · 12-10-2005, 01:08 AM

Okay I'm curious. They've said they are posting all these new DVDs Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, JLU (woot!), but do you think we will ever get Sonic: SatAM? Sonic fans any ideas?

I've never gotten why it's called SatAM.

A wild guess on my part: Saturday Morning (am)?

*DrSpengler* · 12-10-2005, 10:24 AM

I've just started reading the Archie series and now I'm feeling real nostalgic to see the SatAM series again.

I tried watching some old VHS tapes of it about 4 years ago and didn't think it quite lived up to the memory. But perhaps I was expecting too much.

I mostly just want to see the series finale again, where they kill-off Robotnik. I remember that being pretty hardcore.

Heh, he would've came back, anyway.

I think you mean the Sonic and Sally (Freedom Fighters) series right? I think they will.

Speaking of Sonic, I was watching today's episode and waiting for the TMNT quickie, That Amy is a seroius like pink bi-brat. Telling off poor Cosmos.When that that pink thing become HIS girlfriend?!

He never shows any romontic feelings towards her

I misread the title of this thread as "Sonic Satan". And started to wonder.

Well, to most of my friends, Sonic IS evil.

They prefer Shadow instead.

Yeah, I read about the unproduced third season where Robotnik would have become the lackey to some evil magician and Snively would have defected to the Freedom Fighters.

I'm almost glad it didn't happen. While the idea of Snively becoming a Freedom Fighter did seem like it had potential, Robotnik becoming a snivveling lackey just sounded lame; particularly since SatAM had my favorite version of Robotnik overall (every other cartoon/anime portrays him as a bumbling "Team Rocket" kind of villain).

It probably would'nt have lasted, besides, it beats killing off the character for good like Archie did (theres' a present Robotnik in the comic, but hes' from some alternate universe)

There were two sonic comic publications, the Archie version that has continued to this day, and the UK 1990s' Fleetway Sonic comic that carried Sega strips of assorted video game characters besides Sonic, it likewise has found a new following again thanks to the 'net, and has been commonly praised for doing new things and tweaking their video game adaptations

Okay, okay I'm going I'm going. Do you think there could be a good chance they would release the series if they did this?

Well honestly i think there is especially since sonic x is on the air now. Kind of like how the Old TMNT series made DVD after the new series started.

As much as I've grown to hate the series over the years, I don't wish to be the bearer of bad news. The chances of this series ever being released in Boxset form or any form whatsoever in the US are slim to none. There has been a boxset planned for over 5 years now, but every time they try to release it, Disney takes them to court to prevent it. They claim to have some rights on the series because it aired on their Saturday Morning block (Disney owns ABC), and as such, they block all DVD releases in the US. I hear they are planning to release it in Europe (possibly on a region free disc for American Fans who get screwed by Disney), but that's all I know. Now something odd could have happened that I don't know about and it could be worked out because I know Micheal Eisner himself was the main person blocking DiC from releasing the discs, and he's gone now. He had some kind of grudge against DiC because they were owned by Disney for a short time, but DiC bought their freedom back from Disney without his concent. After that, he seemed to make it his personal little war to put DiC down any way he could, and withholding the right to SatAM was one of the ways. He knew the demand for DVD release was there, and DiC could make an assload off of it, so he blocked it.

So I suppose now that he's gone, there is a far better chance of Disney letting go of those rights. Sega used to be the problem, but DiC paid them off as well. We'll see I guess. I could personally care less because I want Sonic to move on and be like the Genesis Hedgehod I knew and grew up with, but whatever. I'm getting my Super Show boxset, so I hope the fans can get their series. Sonic Underground *shudder* was released in Europe and a whole series set, so SatAM should naturally come next.

And Peanut, it's called SatAM because there were two Sonic series, both from DiC, running at the same time. The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (craptactular syndicated series with Scratch & Grounder and horrible animation. Its labeled AoStH by fans. I own 2 animation cells), and the other was simply Sonic the Hedgehog (the one we're talking about here). It was labeled SatAM by fans because it came on Saturday morning and they use the acronym so as to not confuse with the name of the game (and now the new Xbox 360/Ps3/Revo game comming as well that shares the name). It's a mess.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-10-2005, 08:35 PM

For the curious, every episode of Sonic Underground has been released as a box set in Europe. Go figure.

For anyone unfamiliar with it, Underground gave Sonic two siblings (brother Manic, and a sister, Sonia), took Robotniks' SATAM chracter design, ripped SATAMS' "Robotnik rules the planet" format, and feartured the exact same story editor, Ben Hurst. Unfortunatly, politics were all over the series, even though it lasted longer than Satam due to being produced for synidcation.

I knew that. I just don't know why they decided to put it with the time and day that it's aired. Why not just call it Sonic The Hedgehog?
