Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog - Full Pilot Episode

[shaunasaidWHAT]

I prefer this animation.

[silentzorah]

This show will never make it.

[jojidubi4]

Why isn't there dialogue for the entire thing? And why isn't there a plot?

[marioroxmysox]

@jojidubi4 it's just a test. Showing that it's like the games... maybe.

[JanusHoW]

This Robotnik seems to have a Yosemite Sam thing go. But Baldry did a good job as well.

[travelsonic]

I think, if the wikipedia article on AOSTH is accurate, the title for this episode is "Sonic Strikes Again"

[superfawful65]

Cocaine is a Hell of a drug.

[OmegaJackRed666]

This was a good episode though I can kinda see why the network didn't like it.

[JPyle90]

To take a guess at Tails' VA at the end...I think it's E.G. Daily (he sounds a bit like Tommy does in the early episodes of Rugrats).

[BlueDragon992]

Long John Baldry did a good job as Robotnik, but he's no Jim Cummings!

[jimbodeek]

I like how Jim Cummings makes Robotnik sound like Pete in this pilot.

[xoLoveTruelySucksxo]

SONIC CAN SWIM!!!!!! everything is a lie!!!!

[marioroxmysox]

@xoLoveTruelySucksxo Yep, Yuji Naka f*cked up. Sonic even swam in SSBB and the Olympics with Mario.

[Marmalade000000]

Wow, this is great!

[PresidentOfJelybeans]

WHAT A GREAT PLAN DOCTOR ROBOTNIK

STEALING THE VILLAGE'S WATER SUPPLY

[gameshow1241]

you know the voice of sonic is steve urkel

[navinkb100]

I can hear Space Ghost (Gary Owens) narrating the entire pilot episode!

[ShadyPlaya91]

Robotnik sounds like Tigger.

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

@ShadyPlaya91 And do you know why that is, my boy?

[ChillblaineFilms]

Most of the commenters don't seem to understand that this is a pilot to demonstrate the animation and voice actors and wasn't meant to be shown on television, THAT IS WHY THERE ARE NO SOUND EFFECTS.

[zwataketa]

SONIC WAIT FOR ME! *crosses street halfway* GAWK! lol

[AwesomelyEpic50]

Lol, robotnik sounds really old

[TheKDowson]

Well, I thought that was pure brilliance, right up untill the very last part, although I wished they added more sounds and voices to it. Ah well. I think I've also rediscovered what I really loved about cartoons in the first place too :D Also, roadpizza? Odd.

[Chaofanatic]

I love how the art is actually better in the pilot.

[LordJedah12]

Sonic can swim like a fish LOL

[liamisultimate7788]

there isnt any sound effects THAT IS FUCKING PATHETIC

[Chias75]

Yes

[ThisThingEaten]

Is that Jim Cummings as Robotnik?

[MikeArcade07]

Man great animation, kudos to everyone who worked on the pilot!

Also as much as I like Aosth (grew up watching it as a kid) I do wish the show ended up a bit like the pilot, but still I had a blast with the show and the way it turned out. :)

Thank you Mr. Knight!

[RockhopperIsDaMan]

So that's where the credits came from!

[Lakitu1134]

Oh my god! They got Jim Cummings to do Robotnik in the pilot, why couldn't he do it for the rest of the series? It would have been cool for him to voice both thw Aosth Robotnik AND the SatAM Robotnik.

[SH4D0WS74LK]

anybody know which series the one is with the green and pink hedgehog as well?

[minichapman]

@SH4D0WS74LK You don't wanna know. It's bad, It's awful, It's Sonic Underground. don't say I didn't warn you!

[cookinmom35]

@SH4D0WS74LK do you mean amy rose? shes the only hedgehog i know whos green and pink.. at least she WAS and satam has a different cast.... so your best bet is this 1

[3dmarth]

@cookinmom35 I don't know if Amy Rose was in the SatAM series (as far as I know, she wasn't), but she definitely wasn't in this one.

Just for the record, she could have been in either show if the writers had chosen to include her, as the release date of Sonic CD was around the same time as this show's first episodes first aired.

[cookinmom35]

@3dmarth well i know that amy was in the sonic the hedgehog COMICS so you might find her in satam

[Mcmadness288]

@cookinmom35 amy didn't exist when these shows were made. Sonic CD had yet to be made.

[Danny2Lisa]

There is a great petition on w w w . petitionspot . com /petitions/IncludeSonicSatAM ......It would be great to see the SatAm continuity in the upcoming video games

[GhettoKarter1992]

what year was this???

[LilSkott]

i like how much this refrences the games more than the actual show

[brb1006]

Where did you find this?

[IJustWatchEm71]

Is the pilot on any of the DVD sets?

[Dipstikk]

HEG-JOG

[GlennMagusHarvey]

So that's where the smashing trap in the credits comes from.

And yeah, it doesn't work without most of the audio, but the visual gags are still quite worth it.

And I see that Robuttnik's Butt is as old as the show itself.

[1990babyface]

LMAO at Sonic Saying "Fall of '93" I was just three years old back then.

[1990babyface]

@pick9q Out of all the voices who did tails. The best one is on Sonic X.

[hylton7]

@1990babyface

no tails sounded like a girl in sonic x his best voice was in sonic adventure

[1990babyface]

@hylton7 Tails voice was genius on Sonic X. And Sonic is a million times better than some sick ghetto lame ass boondocks for the record.

[1990babyface]

@hylton7 Jaleel White is the best person to do Sonic voice & Jason Griffith from Sonic X. Glad they cancelled that lame ass homosexual show boondocks.

[MedalTrainer]

insert sonic generations joke here

[1990babyface]

You have got to be tripping. There was a pilot before the first episode?

[jimbodeek]

1:43 Robotnik's dancing while looking for Sonic.

[ProjectZuel]

Why is the art, animation and jokes better than the actual show?

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

lol wat an awesome childhood i got

[kc86er]

As soon as ABC saw this, they said, "Could you please make us different Sonic cartoon?"

[chubs54]

hmm for this sonic show jim dont suit robotnik imo

[tedizkillah]

I wonder just how many times Jaleel White cringed at his own voice acting while recording these corny-ass lines.

[Tacom4ster]

Jim Cummings is awesome

[jay270486]

Wish there was music

[sonikthehero]

1:44 ROBOTNIKS HUMP

[tamamanito2]

I don't take no bull. :D

[tamamanito2]

I hate it when they make his arms blue, and change them to tan again about a second after. ._____.

[VTwinty]

With this type of animation they would have made a Sonic The Hedgehog Movie.

[crashtestgoku]

and this started pingas

[DrClay999]

I think the original voice actor for Robotnik. You can tell Jim Cummings had a lot of fun doing this.

[tailsfan13]

1:46

[PrincessWendy773]

LOL. I couldn't stop laughing.

[CollisionCat]

I always end up feeling sorry for Robotnik in this show...

Also, Tails looks a little cuter in this pilot! And his colour is more accurate. =P

[gilnov]

@CollisionCat Ikr? What did America have against yellow-orange foxes?

[CCrockyourass]

I don't know. Jim Cummings was good here, but I think Long John Baldry fit the cartoony Robotnik a lot better.

[IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

@CCrockyourass

Did you know that Jim Cummings also did the voice for Dr. Robotnik in Sonic SatAM?

[CCrockyourass]

@IvanovIvanAKrutoi Duh. I'm just saying Long John made a better looney tunes Robotnik.

[Kerr0765]

0:13

A reward of 5000 musical notes!?!?! Knowing Robotnik it's a Justin Beiber album =P

[THiNGYBOBinc]

@Kerr0765 No, he was probably expecting Sonic to be captured by Banjo and Kazooie. Probably in some console-exclusive racing game.

[Kerr0765]

@THiNGYBOBinc LOL

[Skibicks123]

I know it's probably video distortion but at 7:00, it sounds like an angry Robotnik!

[Doom2Guy]

Kinda similar to Road Runner, don't you think?

[jedihunter176]

I DON'T TAKE NO BULL

[Dalek44]

This explains why Jim Cummings was chosen to voice Robotnik in Sonic SatAM.

[TheBlackYousa]

What the fuck 1:43

[LimeTH2]

I'm suprised. The animation is actually very good here.

[theangrypeter]

Wow, this is alot better than the actual first episode, or series for that matter...animation looks decent even.

[cartoonmarc]

Sonic spinning through underwater tubes; interesting forerunner to Aquarium park in colours.

[mavrickindigo]

0:27 Game over screen of "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine"

[NickShortsAlt]

@videogamester07 I agree the animation here looks way better than the real show. I think they may have outsourced a majority (if not all) of the show to korean animators or something. I'm glad that they stepped up the animation for the SatAm show.

[prgreeneyes]

Hill Top Zone appear here where Robotnik tries to hit Sonic with his wrecking ball.

[prgreeneyes]

The place where Sonic is being chased by Badnik is Emerald Hill Zone.

[YK976076]

Hey the voice at 2:51-2:54 Sounds like Sierra From LBT 7

[TheTC]

I don't want any if my pals ending up as road pizza!

This is the first pilot episode I've ever seen where the animation is far more refined than the actual series!

[kingoginge]

Hang on, I thought Sonic couldn't swim?!

[KuchiboyROBLOX]

And 2:20 is the credits :P

[KuchiboyROBLOX]

This seems too much like episode 1.

[Lucios1995]

The only thing that's sound in there are the voices, where's the rest?

[Mysterious0Bob]

@Lucios1995 Its a pilot. Guess.

[Lucios1995]

@Mysterious0Bob

So it wasn't aired on TV?

[WilligsPage]

i dont take no bull!

[dudebob234]

GASP! Sonic can SWIM!

[Pinkolol16]

@dudebob234

Not only that, he can fly(forgot the time)

[dudebob234]

@Pinkolol16

true. I always thought that was why he had Tails. ^_^

[Te3k]

Hot damn! That's a phat booty @ 1:43

[ThePoliceman009]

What's that sound at 7:00?

[ThePoliceman009]

LOL AT 4:51!

[zeekrocz117]

robotnik sounds alot like peat from micky

[Spynmaster]

@zeekrocz117 Hey you're right - they both kinda serve a villain role in a way

[JayFoxFire]

@zeekrocz117

Heh heh Jim Cummings did voiced Pete in the recent Mickey Mouse films

[CDCB2]

Great to see the pilot. Just wondering, though, why are there no sound effects?

[BRRGames]

I wander why Jim Cummings got kicked out of the Show after that and got replaced by Long John Baldry.

What if he was the man to do the Pingas

[JayFoxFire]

@BRRGames

But he did voiced Robotnik in SatAM so its all good :3

[TeamFourSter]

@BRRGames Jim Cummings was in high demand during that period, voicing many characters in Disney shows. My guess is that he simply couldn't commit to doing 65 episodes.

[FoxtrotDeltaLima497]

Robotnik sounds like pete, lol

[ImpmonInThe90s]

@FoxtrotDeltaLima497 Jim Cummings voiced Pete and this Robotnik. He also voiced SatAM's Robotnik.

[tmMcHugh]

wouldn't be cool if we asked jim cummings say snooPINGAS usual i see because he voiced robotnik in Sonic the hedgehog(which it doesn't say "the adventures of" because he was voiced by long john bradley)

[YouDuck2345]

Tails' voice is different. Anyone else notice that?

[cate7]

@YouDuck2345 I noticed that. I think it sounds cuter. :3

[YouDuck2345]

@cate7 If nothing else, it's befitting of an eight-year-old, two-tailed fox. :P

[happyfanfeet]

@YouDuck2345 in this tails was 4 1/2 years old (he says that in the episode "slowww going")

[YouDuck2345]

@happyfanfeet Alright then.

[GingerTheHedgehog]

Sonics Swimming?

[STJ786]

sheesh! what exactly does eggman want from sonic instead of killing him?

[Nightfox00rougehero]

@100PurpleCoins I know what it is

[CaptainAshSpearow]

Why did Tails sound like Chum Chum (Nika Futterman) in the Sonic Says bit?

[Nightfox00rougehero]

:O is this the REAL first ep.?

[sasuke2345uchiha]

definite pingas

[CustomArt4U]

Roadpizza, Ha!

[ChiuahuaTubeALT]

Tails Is Orange Instead of Brown!

[o0gman0o]

well atleast in the pilot they did try to make it more like the game

[MamaLuigiBarrelRoll]

lol, the bull looked like it was running backwards.

[Groudon0199]

Ah, so THAT'S where the credits scene came from.

[Morgil27]

1:53 Ah! My eyes! My eyes!

[figment1988]

@HoratioGiovanni as well as the voice actress for Minnie Mouse.

[Soneekdude]

This cartoon was awesome. I wish they would show it again. :|

[StephenYap3]

1:45 - 1:50 my favorite

[JuliantheGamer]

There is a lot of audio missing, but at least I finally saw the pilot after all these years.

[TheEvilConductor]

Does anyone notice the background when the bull is running towards the screen is moving in the wrong direction?

[OneWithTheNight]

What's with this episode? About 80% of it is nothing but silence.

[franktrapani]

@OneWithTheNight it was a pilot

[JayFoxFire]

@OneWithTheNight

This has to be the early pilot still in works.

[JeffLynne1988]

what a cheap "Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner" rip-off

[philosophicaldoctor]

Didn't the narrator do the space quest video games?

[StarFoxAutobot]

Jim Cummings sounds good as Robotnik, even when it's not the SERIOUS Robotnik.

[Gamer8585]

"I hate to pump and run..."

lol

And that line was probably what kept this episode from being finished or aired...

[DoomedDuckBabyMario]

0:27

hey! that part was in dr robotnicks mean bean mechen when you lose

[DoomedDuckBabyMario]

what is this some camershal for the show or a cut ep?

[JohnnyP625]

Sonic Sez in this pilot episode reminds me of Dizzy Devil's end tag credit as he says "Show Over."

[Zignusoft]

Este episodio nunca lo había visto, es genial.

Esta caricatura si vale la pena verla, no como la basura que pasan hoy en día.

[Joemamma69000]

i just noticed that Jaleel White did the voice of sonic for this series i knew i regonized the voice (i watch Family Matters sometimes) it was the slight high pitch of sonic's voice that made me realize that it was Jaleel White and that he does the voice for sonic in about every sonic cartoon made in the 90s

[blukmage19]

I thought Sonic's terrible when it comes to swimming in water. It doesn't make sense.

[JayFoxFire]

@blukmage19

Sega Sonic can't swims all that way. Aosth/SatAM Sonic version can swim =p

[AmiralMachin]

I really want to know who has write the script of this pilot.

[sonicfeet]

1:48

For some reason, right here, the animation suddenly looks weird, yet fun to look at.

[sonicfeet]

0:59

The bull is going backwards, yet he is running forwards.

WHAT??

[ThomasFan3751]

Excellent!

[Pcfan11]

"HAY SUNIK WAYT FI MEI"

[sonicfeet]

"EEEAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[frostytheaussie]

haha jim cummings. he's great but i'm glad they got long john baldry

[stewiedude59]

Why is there no sound other than dialog?

[frostytheaussie]

@stewiedude59 because it is a pilot

[SUTOruin]

The shading in this cartoon is something wonderful.

ROBOTNIK WANTS YOU

[mavrickindigo]

Jim Cummings does a pretty good AOSTH robotnik too. Crazy

[briggschannell]

@mavrickindigo then came long jhon baldry

[johnnieRad]

@mavrickindigo He Voice Him In Sonic SatAM

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

Ah..This pilot has a very different structure then the cartoon.

[Joemamma69000]

if it was rated TV-PG they instead have this line "I take no bullshit! Not even from a bull"

[HyperSonicXtreme]

@Joemamma69000

And borrowed alot of stuff rom the games like the loop de loop the robotic fishes from Sonic 2 Emerald Hill, the pink octopus from Oil Ocean.

[kilikman]

6:02 Did that bird just LAY a nest?

[Trance88]

Wow. I had no idea Jim Cummings was supposed to do the voice of Robotnik on here too!

[HXiangYue]

1:14-1:58

2:06-2:17

3:03-3:29

As you can see three scenes is reunited in "Untouchable Sonic"

2:18-2:46

This scene is used as an ending title for AoStH.

[Nightfox00rougehero]

@HXiangYue & that ball on the chain just like in the old game

[VGRetro]

Wow. Jim Cummings played Robotnik twice!

[tmMcHugh]

@VGRetro

If Jim Cummings played Robotnik

i bet he could say PINGAS!

[Daemonologist]

one mistake is that sonic can't really swim at all

[beadz984]

Didn't Jaleel White do Sonics voice!? LOL

[TerrawindX2]

OMG DO THE URKEL

[FlyingPignut]

Tails sounds like the girl Mike, from the old cartoon Mike lu and og if anybody remembers it, no?

[ilikeluigi]

Robotnik sounds different

[sawmaster2]

@ilikeluigi That is because Jim Cummings voiced robotnik in this episode.

[bluecatcinema]

And Jim would go on to voice Robotnik in the SatAM series.

[EpicAgentBlaire]

Wow...the animation looks pretty then the show's itself at some points.

[Espio360]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. It's a lot smoother.

[EpicAgentBlaire]

I kind of wish they had kept that animation. It would have made an already great show even better.
