Sonic’s Small Screen Debut Revived
Long before Sonic the Hedgehog graced the silver screen in live-action movies, the iconic Sega platformer series made its mark on the small screen with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, a beloved 65-episode cartoon from 1993. Fast forward to 2022, and fans can rejoice as the complete TV series is now available on Blu-ray for just $36 on Amazon, down from $60. This is a rare opportunity to own this piece of nostalgia at a discounted price, so Sonic enthusiasts should act fast.
$36 (was $60)
The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Complete TV Series Blu-ray set includes all 65 main episodes of the series, plus a bunch of extras like the Sonic Christmas Blast Episode, pilot episode, and all the “Sonic Says” PSA bumpers that originally aired alongside each episode. All the content is presented in its original standard definition resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio. There are also commentary tracks on select episodes featuring storyboard artist Milton Knight.
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog holds a special place as one of the pioneer adaptations of a Sega game, capitalizing on Sonic’s popularity in North America. The series features the iconic voice of Sonic by Jaleel White, famed for his role as Urkel in the sitcom Family Matters, along with a colorful cast of sidekicks and villains including Tails (Russi Taylor) and Dr. Robotnik (Long John Baldry). While subsequent TV shows, comics, and movies have delved deeper into Sonic’s world, this ’90s show was the gateway for fans to explore beyond the video games.
