Decades before the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movies captured the hearts of fans, Sega’s iconic platformer series transitioned to television with "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog." This vibrant cartoon, consisting of 65 episodes, debuted in 1993 and has retained its charm through the years. In a nostalgic revival, the complete series has been made available on Blu-ray, currently priced at $36 (originally $60). This special two-disc set represents one of the best deals for dedicated Sonic fans looking to relive their childhood memories.
The "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Complete TV Series" Blu-ray collection is packed with all 65 main episodes and includes additional features such as the "Sonic Christmas Blast" episode, the pilot episode, and the memorable "Sonic Says" PSA bumpers that accompanied each episode. The content retains its original standard definition resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio, making it a true collector’s item. Moreover, select episodes feature commentary from storyboard artist Milton Knight, providing fans with unique insights into the series.
As one of the early adaptations of a Sega game, "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" not only showcased the character’s popularity but also introduced viewers to a broader Sonic universe. The series featured Jaleel White, famously known as Urkel from "Family Matters," as the voice of Sonic, along with beloved characters like Tails and Dr. Robotnik, voiced by Russi Taylor and Long John Baldry, respectively. This show marked a significant moment in ’90s television, offering a glimpse into Sonic’s world beyond video games.
In addition, Sonic has appeared in numerous animated series over the years, many of which are now available at attractive prices on Blu-ray and DVD. Fans can also look forward to the release of "Sonic the Hedgehog 3," set to arrive on 4K Blu-ray on April 15, further expanding the franchise’s cinematic collection.
