Sabrina: The Animated Series

An animated prequel to the live-action show "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," the series features 12-year-old Sabrina Spellman, who's half mortal and half witch. Though few people know of her powers, and her mortal uncle frequently warns her not to use her magic to solve problems, Sabrina still borrows spells from the Spookie Jar and gets into trouble with her friend Harvey.

Sabrina: The Animated Series (1999-2000) is an American animated family comedy created by Savage Steve Holland and Kat Likkel and broadcast on ABC and UPN. It is an animated prequel to the live-action sitcom Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and follows twelve-year-old Sabrina Spellman, a girl who is half mortal and half witch. Voiced by Emily Hart, Sabrina tries to keep her powers secret from her mortal uncle Quigley (voiced by Jay Brazeau), who keeps warning her not to use magic to solve her problems. Her talking black cat companion Salem Saberhagen (voiced by Nick Bakay) and her friend Harvey Kinkle (voiced by Bill Switzer) often find themselves pulled into the trouble she creates. Each episode is a self-contained lark built around borrowed spells from the Spookie Jar and the small social disasters of middle school life. The single season runs sixty-five half-hour episodes. Its tone is light, playful and breezy, in the spirit of Hey Arnold! and The Fairly OddParents, fans of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch will find the same cozy sitcom warmth and comic magic. Family viewing suits it well.

Critics found it a breezy, lighthearted family cartoon that works for its young audience but offers little beyond its sitcom formula.
