Sonic le Hérisson

When i was just a little kid, i watched Sonic The Hedgehog ALL the time. Today I am a complete Sonic The Hedgehog freak! I own every single useless sonic gadgets and toys. I knew almost everything about that show. If you ask me, i think somebody should put that show back on the air. Sonic The Hedgehog had a nice storyline and great animation. The detail was terrific as well. Still to this day i sing that catchy theme song in my head. Sonic The Hedgehog was aired a little after the TV show known as "The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog" was aired. the 2 shows sound the same, and people who never saw the sonic shows, would think they aren't different. But, when Sonic The Hedgehog was aired, it sky rocketed past the first aired show. Please Bring Back Sonic!!!! Sonic Still Has Many Many Fans Out There!!!

Jaleel white was the best voice for sonic he is sonic man. now they got these dumb shows of sonic x and i am not feeling it

Yeah, I prefer this version over the other; I watched both at about the same age (of ten or so), loved one, really couldn't stand the other.

The other one just strikes me as kind of pathetic. Only two of the Sonic characters appear in it, for one thing; the plots are often predictable and annoying in their simplicity (the 'parents' episode, for example); there are a lot of little puzzling details that interrupt the action (how is an ice cube a good choice for rafting a lava river?); and Robotnik is a whiny wimp, not a credible evil genius.

The backgrounds and some of the characters are almost Hanna-Barbera-esque in their minimalism and rapid repetition, which some like but I think is out of place for Sonic. This version has more varied characters, really well-drawn environments and animation, and a storyline which is occasionally frightening. Overall, one of these is trying to be a cute comedy, without many story background details; and one is a long science-fiction story divided into parts.

The problem with trying to make something 'cute' is that it often ends up pretty simplistic. Kids' entertainment doesn't need to be mindless, and in my opinion shouldn't be. I think the newer version presents more of a challenge to the young viewer (the plots are trickier, there are more background details between episodes, and, yeah, as I said there are some moments which are kind of scary).

Did I ever love this series or what! The "Star Wars" of TV animation if there ever was one. It grabs you from the startling opening credits (which features a stunning shot across a HUGE power station and another of a Death Star-like spaceship assimilating everything in sight, Borg-style.) and never lets go, except a few lame comic relief episodes. The characters had some of the most depth to ever grace a SatAM cartoon, and the artwork was some of the best I have ever seen. I am awfully shocked that it's not available in the US. Here in Asia it's on the Disney Channel, lucky me. And all of you are wrong, this series came before the comic book and the comic book has adhered little to its solid narrative structure. Unlike other video game adaptations this one did not let the story get overshadowed by the action. All in all a truly fantastic series whose impact on animation fans and anthropomorphic fans will not be forgotten. This one should have as many reruns as Batman.

Sonic the Hedgehog, more appropriately known as Sonic SatAM, was the last great cartoon ever aired before the anime takeovers. This wasn't typical cartoony stuff. This show wasn't afraid to show kids a dark and serious side to cartoons. This cartoon was voted to be the second most violent kids show ever, but I would rather watch this than Power Rangers, which killed this show, caused it to go off the air, and then multiplied into many hideous variations. While Sonic had depth, Power Rangers was just cheese and was much more violent than Sonic ever was. This series is not too far off from being a Blade Runner for kids. The atmosphere was dark. The episodes were adventurous and exciting. Dr. Robotnik was made into what a true villain should be--ominous and scary, not the wimpy Sega version. In short, this was a great cartoon, much more than being just another mindless action toon. I even remember the opening sequence and theme song after all these years. It was like the Star Wars of cartoons. It left THAT much of an impression on me. One of the greatest of cartoons is gone forever, but all the children who grew up during that time will never forget.
