The beloved Sonic the Hedgehog Saturday morning cartoon is getting a long-awaited unofficial third season created by a fan-funded nonprofit called TEAM SEA3ON that is not affiliated with SEGA.

As Robotnik converted the prosperous kingdom into the dystopian city of Robotropolis, Princess Sally Acorn formed the Freedom Fighters to stop Dr. Robotnik's quest for world domination as he roboticized the planet's inhabitants into his robotic slaves.

It begins with a voice that clearly belongs to Snively
