==Other media== ===Animation=== A number of cartoons have been made based on the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' video games. DIC Entertainment's ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' was an American animated television series that was first broadcast in September 1993, and ran in cartoon syndication for a number of years afterward. It follows the escapades of Sonic and Tails as they stop the evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik and his array of vicious robots from taking over the planet Mobius. The plots very loosely followed the style of the early video games series, but focused very little on character development. DIC also produced the second Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, called ''Sonic the Hedgehog: The Animated Series'', which originally aired from September 1993 to June 1995. While ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' is known for its bright colors and whimsical humor, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' featured darker, more dramatic stories which still constitute a departure from the tone of most of the ''Sonic'' games. The Sonic franchise was still quite new and lacked both plot and character development, so the show's writers filled in the details. The ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic book uses several characters from this series. A two-episode OVA series based upon the game ''Sonic CD'' and the video game series as a whole, ''Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie'', was released in [[Japan]] in 1996 and released as an English dub in North America in 1999. Unlike the games, the film takes place on a world named Planet Freedom. It was the first to introduce an animated appearance of Knuckles the Echidna, and the first time before ''Sonic Adventure'' that Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails were seen as a full team. The cartoon ''Sonic Underground'' ran for 40 episodes<ref name="underground episodes produced">{{Cite web |publisher=Hong Ying Animation |title=List of 1998 animated works |url=http://www.hong-ying.com/english/works/d3.2.htm |accessdate=2006-02-23}}</ref> in 1999, but bore little relation to other cartoons or video games. The last Sonic series from DIC Entertainment, the show was animated like ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', but was broadcast in syndication, and had major differences, including the absence of Tails and the appearances of Knuckles. The anime ''Sonic X'' is the longest-running animated series based on Sonic to date. It spanned 3 seasons and 78 episodes and was inspired by the plots of the ''Sonic Adventure'' series. Sonic, Tails and Eggman also appear in the 2012 Disney animated movie, ''Wreck-It Ralph''. In the movie, Sonic has a small speaking role, voiced again by Roger Craig Smith, Tails briefly appear as an image, while Eggman makes a non-speaking role. ===Comics=== {{Further2|List of Sonic the Hedgehog printed media}} A number of Sonic the Hedgehog comic books and manga have been produced. The ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' manga series, published in Shogakukan's ''Shogaku Yonensei'' was written by Kenji Terada and illustrated by Sango Norimoto. The manga, which started in 1992, was about a hedgehog boy named Nicky who can turn into Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic fights Eggman, with Tails tagging along to help him. ''Sonic the Comic'' was a British comic published by Fleetway Editions between 1993 and 2002. Labeled "The UK's official Sega comic", in addition to Sonic the Hedgehog stories it also included comic strips based on other Sega games such as ''[[Ecco the Dolphin]]'' and ''Decap Attack''. ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' is an ongoing series of American comic books published by Archie Comics. All of Archie's ''Sonic''-related publications take place in the same fictional universe, which incorporates aspects of the video games and Sonic the Hedgehog: the Animated Series in addition to elements unique to that comic universe. Archie Comics also published an ongoing ''Sonic X'' comic book that supplemented the stories from the animated series of the same name. It began in September 2005 and was originally meant to be a four-part series; however, due to the positive reaction to the series' announcement, it was extended to ongoing status before the first issue premiered. The comic borrowed elements from the animated series' first two seasons and characters from the ''Sonic Adventure'' storyline. The comic was eventually canceled, its place taken by the new Sonic comic book series entitled ''Sonic Universe''.
