Sabrina the Teenage Witch: The Complete Animated Series

Show Summary

  • Ended
The show was made in 1999. It is the spin-off to Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, the sitcom. This cartoon was completely different from the show itself. It featured our main character Sabrina except as a 12 year-old in Jr. High School just developing her powers. Her best friends are Chloe Flan and Harvey Dwight Kinkle. Chloe is the only mortal that knows that Sabrina is a witch, and Harvey is still Sabrina's secret crush. Together they have many adventures. Her rival is Gem Stone, the equivalent of Libby Chessler from the original show, and is incredibly rich. She still has the same aunts: Hilda and Zelda Spellman except they are teenagers, and she has an additional household member, Uncle Quigley. In this show even though Sabrina has her magic, she relies on a Spookie Jar to sometimes to help her cast spells. All of these characters help make the show as great as it was. Unfortunately Sabrina, the Teenage Witch was still greater so the show ended with only one season of 65 episodes. Though it has ended, it still is a great addition in Sabrina history and Viacom productions. However it wasn't the end for Sabrina: the show was slightly brought back in Oct. 2002 as a Nickelodeon TV-Movie!

    I remember watching this on One Saturday Morning as a kid. I like the live-action series better, but this one's really cute.

    The show is somewhat of an alternate continuity to the live-action show. Sabrina is 12 years old and just developing her powers (unlike the live-action series where she finds out about her powers on her 16th birthday). Salem is exactly like he is in the live-action show, but has more movement (due to him being an animatron in the live-action series). Her aunts, Hilda and Zelda, have been punished and turned into teenagers for 100 years for abusing magic (I can see this from Hilda, but Zelda?). They live with Sabrina's great uncle Quigly (who's a newcomer to the franchise). She still has a crush on Harvey, who in my opinion has more personality than his live-action counterpart (and he's wicked adorable in this series). There are some new characters, too. Chloe, who's Sabrina's best friend (taking the place of Jenny/Valerie), Gem, Sabrina's rival for Harvey's affections, and the meanest girl in school (taking the place of Libby), and Pi, Harvey's friend. The characters taking the place of the live-action characters was due to Viacom not wanting DiC to use them.

    The artwork was great and the animation was pretty good. There were some cheap scenes in a few episodes, but hey, DiC. The theme song was also done by B*Witched, one of my favorite bands! The series was produced by DiC, Hartbreak Films, inc., (Melissa Joan Hart's production company, she produced this show), Savage Studios, inc. (Eeek the Cat), Buena Vista Television (DiC was with Disney at the time), and some minor production help from Jumbo Pictures. Most of the artists and writers came from the Jumbo Pictures shows 101 Dalmatians: The Series, and Doug (Only the writers from Doug, and only the Disney ones).

    There are a few flaws, though. The morals could get annoying depending on the writer, Gem was really annoying, and I wish it was more like the live-action series. The last one is the spin-off, Sabrina's Secret Life, which I already reviewed. It mainly sucked because only DiC produced it, along with Les Studios Tex, a cheap animation studio.

  • A good spinoff of the original series but it wasnt great.

    Sabrina, the Animated Series takes a twist from the show Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Here, Sabrina is a 12-year old girl who knows she is a half-mortal half-witch. She has the comic relief of her cat Salem and her two aunts and her uncle. She also has her best friend Chloe and the boy she likes, Harvey Kinkle and the girl she hates, Gem Stone.

    The series is midly interesting but the art and some of way the characters were drawn were quite mediocre. And sometimes, the series cpuld be irritating for you like for instance, some of the voices in this show.
    This isnt a bad show, but this show will be liked by kids and fans of the original Sabrina series.moreless

    I would say that Sabrina:the animated series is not that nice coz i don't really find it interesting. But what i like most abt it is the magic in the shows. Since i was a little girl, i have always loved magic and would wonder if witches really do exists. Now i noe they don't

  • The most repetitive cartoon ever...with only one interesting episode I can recall. A few points below its live action origin.

    "Terrible"
    I fail to understand why there was even a need for an animated adaptation of this show. It's one of the worst of it's kind. I can tell you what the basic plot of each episode is right now in simple terms: Sabrina has a social teen problem...wants to perform magic to solve the problem...Quigley says no even though he's only a mortal...Sabrina goes to the Spooky Jar...the Spooky Jar warns Sabrina about using a spell from the Spooky Jar...Sabrina goes for it any way and uses the spell...the spell goes wrong or makes Sabrina's problem worst...the problem is solved by either her aunts or something else...Sabrina learns her lesson and is punished for using the Spooky Jar. NEXT EPISODE: the whole process repeats again.

    You see the problem here? You would think after using the Spooky Jar many times and not having anything go right for Sabrina you would think she would learn to stop using it!!! Seriously why do they even own a spooky jar if it's only purpose is to make everything bad?!!!!!

    I hope you see where I am getting at. The episodes get so repetitive they're annoying. And I HATE QUIGLEY!!! his only purpose is to be the mortal who wags the finger at Sabrina for using magic even though she cant help having magical blood. The whole strict parent figure Quigley is so overused that we see him more than we do Hilda and Zelda who are more interesting characters but seem to be less involved in Sabrina's life than they are in the live action series.

    Now the only good episode in the entire series that gave this show points was the holiday one where the witches pull a Christmas Carol on Gem Stone hoping it would change her. I loved how funny and unpredictable it was...and oh yeah very little of the Quigley and the Spooky Jar concept was used thank goodness.moreless
