## Synopsis

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (1993) is an American animated action comedy series created by Phil Harnage, Kent Butterworth, Bruce Shelly and Reed Shelly, produced in syndication. Its protagonist is Sonic (voiced by Jaleel White), an arrogant but kind-hearted teenage hedgehog who can run at supersonic speed, and his idolizing young friend Tails (voiced by Christopher Welch). Together they repeatedly foil the scheming Dr. Ivo Robotnik (voiced by Long John Baldry) and his robot henchmen Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts, who want to conquer their home planet of Mobius. The engine of each episode is a fast, playful chase of plots and counterplots, with gags and absurdist slapstick driving the action rather than a continuing mythology. The run spans a single season of 65 episodes, making it a self-contained, episodic cartoon in the Saturday morning tradition. Set on the bright, colorful planet Mobius, the show is breezy, silly and frantic, with a warm sibling-like friendship at its center. Fans of Sonic Underground, Captain Planet and the Planeteers and Tiny Toon Adventures will find the same mix of cheerful heroics and goofy villainy, and the show suits young viewers and nostalgic adults alike.
