Sabrina: The Animated Series
Sabrina: The Animated Series is an American animated television series based on the Archie Comics series Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Produced by Savage Studios Ltd. and Hartbreak Films in association with DIC Productions, L.P. (owned by Disney at the time), the series is an animated prequel of the 1996–2003 live-action series Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
The series aired on ABC and UPN from September 6 to November 19, 1999. Sixty-five episodes were produced.
Unlike previous incarnations, Sabrina Spellman in this series is depicted as a half witch and half mortal attending school. As in the original comic series, Sabrina lives with her paternal witch aunts, Hilda Spellman and Zelda Spellman, and her loud-mouthed black cat Salem Saberhagen, all of whom advise Sabrina on the use of several magics. Most episodes center on the typical issues of middle school, along with those that emanated from Sabrina's inexperience with or misuse of several magic, witchcraft and extremely powerful and complex spells. Sabrina and her best friend Chloe Flan would often use magic (often from the "Spooky Jar": a cookie jar containing a green genie-like being in the family's kitchen) for all types of perceived emergencies, ranging from trying to fit into skinny new clothes to turning Sabrina's crush Harvey into a superhero. By the end of every episode, Sabrina's innate magical abilities would unintentionally backfire and she would learn that using magic usually is not the solution to her everyday issues.
Sabrina had previously appeared in an animated format on The Archie Show (animated by Filmation), but the popularity of the live-action Sabrina the Teenage Witch sitcom formed part of the basis for this spin-off series. The series was developed by Savage Steve Holland and Kat Likkel and Holland served as showrunner and executive producer of the series. As such, the series reflected some of the irreverent style of humor seen in Eek! The Cat. Celebrity voice cameos in this series included Downtown Julie Brown, Mr. T, Long John Baldry and "Weird Al" Yankovic. Melissa Joan Hart, who starred as Sabrina in the live-action sitcom, served as producer of this series, but her younger sister, Emily Hart (who played the recurring character Amanda on the sitcom), voiced Sabrina. Melissa instead voiced Sabrina's two aunts, Hilda and Zelda, originally played on the live-action series by Beth Broderick and Caroline Rhea, respectively. Nick Bakay reprises his role as Salem from the live-action series. The theme music is performed by the Irish girl group B*Witched.
The series was announced to be in production in November 1998, where 65 episodes were commissioned by Disney to air on UPN's then-upcoming Disney block, and would also air on ABC. Disney's Buena Vista Television was announced as the television distributor for the series while DIC Entertainment and Viacom Consumer Products would share merchandising rights. In January 1999, it was announced that Buena Vista International Television would handle international television sale rights. Disney's rights to the series expired in 2004, and the rights were sold back to DIC.
The series aired in syndication on UPN (on Disney's One Too weekday morning-afternoon and Sunday block) and on ABC (on Disney's One Saturday Morning block) from September 6 to November 19, 1999; it remained on ABC until October 13, 2001 (replaced by Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action!) and UPN until September 6, 2002 (replaced by Digimon: Digital Monsters). Around the same time the show was pulled from UPN, the series moved to both Disney Channel (from September 9, 2002 to September 2, 2004) and Toon Disney (from September 3, 2002 to September 5, 2004 before it was replaced by Sabrina's Secret Life). Sabrina: The Animated Series returned to syndication as one of the launch programmes broadcast on the Syndicated DIC Kids Network E/I block on September 1, 2003, followed by the spinoff series Sabrina's Secret Life which premiered the following November.
On September 16, 2006, the series returned as part of CBS' new KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS and was briefly part of the KEWLopolis cartoon lineup until October 27, 2007, when the series along with Trollz were replaced with Sushi Pack and DinoSquad the following Saturday. On September 19, 2009, the series returned to CBS, this time as part of the network's Cookie Jar TV cartoon lineup, later joined by the sequel series, Sabrina's Secret Life on September 18, 2010, before both shows were replaced with Horseland and Trollz on February 5, 2011. Reruns aired on This TV through the "This Is for Kids" block, from September 24, 2012, to October 25, 2013.
From 2017 to 2020, reruns of the series started airing on the Starz channel, Starz Kids & Family; the series is also available on Starz Play. As of 2024, the series is also available on Pluto TV's Rainbow Squad channel.
