Sonic the Hedgehog is an American-Italian animated television series created by DiC Entertainment and the Italian studio Reteitalia, in association with Telecinco. The series contrasts with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, which premiered on the same year, for featuring darker stories and elements. Also know by the fans as Sonic SatAM to differentiate it from other series, because it was a Saturday morning cartoon. The series and characters would later be incorporated into Sonic's long-time running Archie Comics series.
