Sonic!  He's the fastest thing alive!

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG SPEEDS, SPINS AND ZIPS INTO THE FOX BOX


4Kids Entertainment's FOX BOX Adds All-New SONIC X Animated Series To Saturday Morning Line Up Beginning Fall 2003


NEW YORK, NY (May 14, 2003) - 4Kids Entertainment (NYSE:KDE) and SEGA® today announced that the fastest hedgehog in the universe is speeding into the FOX BOX! Continuing its drive to make FOX BOX  the Saturday morning destination for kids, 4Kids Entertainment has signed SEGA's Sonic The Hedgehog® as the network's newest mega-star for its Saturday morning line-up beginning fall 2003.


4Kids Entertainment has teamed with award-winning animation studio TMS Entertainment Ltd. of Japan to produce 52 all-new animated episodes of the SONIC X cartoon.  The show will star the speedy blue superstar whose video games have sold more than 32 million units globally.  SONIC X takes its place on FOX BOX alongside such popular shows as TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, KIRBY: RIGHT BACK AT YA!, ULTIMATE MUSCLE, and THE CRAMP TWINS.


Since his debut role in SEGA's "Sonic The Hedgehog" game in 1991, Sonic has grown to be one of the most enduring game characters and franchises of all time.  Sonic The Hedgehog has appeared in numerous video games across multiple console, handheld and wireless platforms over the past 10 years. Consistently a top-selling franchise, Sonic The Hedgehog continues to be a popular icon worldwide in 2003 and beyond.


"Sonic is one cool sassy hedgehog that kids will instantly be rooting for as he takes on the evil DR. EGGMAN and his robot foes," said Norman Grossfeld, president of 4Kids Productions.  


"SEGA is thrilled to be bringing Sonic to another generation of fans," said Mike Fischer, vice president of marketing, SEGA of America.  "Our speedy blue hedgehog is a video game icon, and SONIC X captures all the excitement and thrills of his interactive adventures.  FOX BOX is the perfect place for this great new series."


Program Synopsis:  Accidentally transported by Chaos Control, Sonic finds himself on a strange planet inhabited by humans and teams up with his newest friend, Christopher. Together, Sonic and Christopher embark on a series of exhilarating and elaborate quests as they search for the "Chaos Emeralds," precious stones delivering the power to conquer the world to whoever possesses them. Through their adventures, Sonic and Christopher must battle Sonic's archrival, the evil Dr. Eggman, a robotics authority, who wants the "Chaos Emeralds" for himself so that he can establish his own empire to dominate the world. Known for speed, power and energy, Sonic helps Christopher overcome his boyhood fears as they meet-up with long-time friends Knuckles, Tails and Amy, and encounter new pals Cream and Cheese. In a distant galaxy, the confrontation between Sonic and Dr. Eggman begins once again!

It depends on your area. I live in the Metro Detroit area, and I have the major station Fox2 in Detroit and Channel 38 which broadcasts from Mt.Clemens. Your best bet is to peruse TV guide, and check the channels for commericials for it. Don't panic, it will be a while before it hit stateside.

Ugh...I'm sorry but it's way past time that Sonic's grave in TV to be done.  I have seen them all come and go and not one of them impressed me.  Oh well, let it come and go the way of rerun oblivion like all the other Sonic cartoons...I think I'll go play the original Sonic on my old Genesis for a while and mourn.

Fox Box is a 2 hr (?) block of shows on Saturday morning on Fox. Not WB or anything like that, just plain Fox. The same one that shows Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, Bernie Mac Show, etc.

If you can't wait and want to see the Sonic X cartoon now. You can download it on Winmx,Kazaa or grokster. I have 3 episodes so far (all with the translations) and its pretty good. Its nothing like Sonic Undergrounds or Sonic The Satam series, which were just HORRIBLE!!! Sonic X actully has more to do with the game then the other 2 cartoons. Sonic X is the closest thing too a real Sonic cartoon since Sonic The Movie which came out in 1996. One thing I don't like though is how Sega is putting the Sonic X on the FoxBox. One channel that I very much dislike. Oh well.
