Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM reboot)

Sonic the Hedgehog is an traditionally/computer-animated television series created by Matt Sullivan and Genndy Tartakovsky. It is based on the fictional character of the same name. It is a reimagining of the Archie comics and the original Saturday morning Sonic cartoon (known to fans as Sonic SatAM). The series follows Sonic (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) and the Freedom Fighters in an all-out war against Doctor Robotnik (voiced by Jess Harnell) for the sake of the planet Mobius. The series aired for 5 seasons from 2016 to 2020 on Cartoon Network (moved to Disney XD in Season 4) and Adult Swim (from 2016 until 2019 due to being more of a kid's cartoon than an Adult Swim action comedy) programming and is very popular among fans.

Overview
In a futuristic Earth known as Mobius, the evil Dr. Robotnik has taken over most of the planet, pitting humans into a war with creatures called Mobians. During this time, Sonic the Hedgehog constantly battles the wretched dictator with only his best friend Tails by his side. Eventually, Princess Sally Acorn of the Knothole Freedom Fighters recruits them both to join her team of rebels. During the team's new adventures, they meet new friends, battle new foes, search for the Chaos Emeralds, learn about the history of the planet, and assemble more teams to take down the army of Robotropolis for good. The series ends with the Freedom Fighters celebrating their victory and looking forward to the future.

Trivia

 * This is the first and only non-anime Adult Swim series to be based on a video game franchise.
 * Surprisingly, it is much more light-hearted compared to Adult's Swim's series with a rating of TV-PG and it aired on Adult Swim until they wanted to air on CN because of the popularity of Steven Universe.
 * However, when it moved to Cartoon Network (Disney XD in Season 4), it was related TV-Y7-FV (for most episodes) while some are rated TV-PG as mentioned above.
 * Similar to Airline Launch, it also airs on Disney XD thus making the second Warner Animation Group televison series to do so.
 * This is the second Adult Swim series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, behind Samurai Jack.
 * This is the first Sonic series to feature fan characters on it.
 * Most of this was based on the Post-SGW Archie comics Universe with Sally appearing in her new outfit.
 * In this series, the name "Eggman" is used (usually by Sonic) as an insult to Doctor Robotnik.
 * Amy Rose's personality is similar to her counterpart from the Fleetway comics and her maturity is similar to her counterpart from the Fleetway (75%) and Archie comics (25%).
 * Manic and Sonia are introduced sometime in season 3.
 * Antoine and Bunnie get married near the end of the series.
 * The partnership between Scratch and Grounder is similar to that of Brian and Stewie from Family Guy, which makes sense with Seth MacFarlane voicing them.
 * Each season has a different story. Season 1 involves the Freedom Fighters searching for the seven Chaos Emeralds while Doctor Robotnik builds Metal Sonic. In season 2, Shadow is introduced as an enemy of the Freedom Fighters before learning the truth about Dr. Robotnik. Isabelle takes control in season 3 as Shadow tries to figure out what his purpose in life is while the Black Arms invade. Isabelle retains her role in season 4 as the Freedom Fighters meet the GUN Agency. In season 5, Robotnik 'seemingly' returns and the Freedom Fighters have to find more allies good or bad. However, it is revealed later on that Neo Metal Sonic was disguised as Robotnik (based on Sonic Heroes) the whole time.
 * In this series, Mighty the Armadillo is voiced by Jesse McCartney who also voices Roxas and Ventus from the Kingdom Hearts series and as well as Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing from Young Justice.
 * In addition, he also uses his Roxas voice in this series.
 * The relationship between him and Honey in this series is similar to Roxas and Xion's relationship.
 * Depending on what version on your country, Marine's voice actress is different. In the European and Australian versions Elle Fanning uses her Winnie voice to voice Marine in these versions while Wendee Lee voices her in the American Version.
 * Roger Craig Smith uses his Batmite voice to voice Ray in this series.
 * The relationship between Ivan and Isabelle is similar to the relationship between Zuko and Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender. In addition, Ivan and Zuko are both voiced by Dante Basco, while Isabelle and Azula are both voiced by Grey DeLisle.
 * King Acorn and Naugus were both imprisoned in the Void prior to the series. Walter Naugus is freed from the Void and becomes a major antagonist for the season 2 finale. Shadow battles Naugus to free King Acorn while the Freedom Fighters and their friends fight back against Dr. Robotnik and his troops.
 * Season 3 focuses on the Mobians forming an alliance with the humans to battle the Black Arms as Shadow struggles to know more about his past.
 * Knothole gets completely destroyed at the beginning of season 5 by Neo Metal Sonic (disguised as Doctor Robotnik).
 * The series is about as dark as--if not darker than--the original SatAM cartoon. It takes inspiration from shows such as Codename: Kids Next Door and Batman: The Animated Series.
 * Shadow has a vigilante-type role in the series, similar to characters like Batman and the Punisher.
 * The series tries to stay true to the video games.
 * The show's main theme song is a rendition of The Fastest Thing Alive sung by Crush 40.
