What happens

Sonic the Hedgehog is an animated television series based on Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise. It aired for two seasons with a total of 26 episodes on ABC from September 18, 1993, to December 3, 1994. It was produced by DIC Productions, Sega of America, and the Italian studio Reteitalia in association with Telecinco. It is the second of DIC's Sonic animated Sonic series, after Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and before Sonic Underground. To distinguish it from Adventures and other Sonic media, fans commonly refer to the series as "Sonic SatAM", in reference to its Saturday morning timeslot. Compared to Adventures, the show features a darker and more dramatic tone. It depicts Sonic the Hedgehog, Sally Acorn, and their team of Freedom Fighters battling to overthrow Dr. Robotnik, who has already conquered their home planet, Mobius and rules over it as a polluted industrial dystopia. Despite its cancellation, a fan following has elevated the series to a cult following. Some original characters of the series later appeared in the video games Sonic Spinball and Sonic-16 that was cancelled after the release of Spinball. The show also inspired the long-running Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series by Archie Comics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
