Before the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action films took the world by storm, Sega’s beloved platforming icon made waves on television with the animated series Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
This show, which entertained audiences with 65 episodes, debuted back in 1993 and has recently resurfaced for fans—now available on Blu-ray as of 2022.
You can snag this complete collection on Amazon for just $36, a tempting discount from its original $60 price tag.
It’s one of the best deals out there for nostalgia seekers eager to revisit the adventures of the Blue Blur.
What’s Included in the Blu-ray Set?
The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Complete TV Series Blu-ray set boasts all 65 episodes, packed alongside an array of bonus content that fans will love.
Highlights include the charming Sonic Christmas Blast episode, the show’s original pilot, and the classic “Sonic Says” public service announcements that aired with each episode.
True to its roots, the episodes are showcased in their original standard definition resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio, and select episodes feature commentary from storyboard artist Milton Knight, adding an intriguing behind-the-scenes perspective.
A Historic Adaptation
This animated series enjoys a pivotal place in the annals of video game history, marking one of the earliest significant adaptations of a Sega franchise that capitalized on Sonic’s skyrocketing popularity in North America.
Jaleel White, who many may recognize as Urkel from Family Matters, provided the voice for Sonic.
The ensemble cast also featured Russi Taylor voicing Tails and Long John Baldry bringing life to Dr. Robotnik.
Though subsequent adaptations—through television, comics, and films—have expanded Sonic’s story, this 1990s series was the first to introduce fans to the vibrant world of Sonic beyond the gaming realm.
A Wonderful Nostalgia Trip
For those feeling a wave of nostalgia or for newer fans curious about Sonic’s origins, this Blu-ray set stands as a delightful collection that celebrates a significant chapter in the character’s animated legacy.
