Fans o f the hit ABC Friday night
television series, "Sabrina, the
Teenage Witch” have a treat in
store this fall when Sabrina comes
to UPN and syndication - only
this time, the popular half-witch,
half-mortal is 12 years old, with­
out full access to her powers and
spells, but just as adorable, kooky,
adventurous and full o f mischief!
Debuting Monday, September
6 (check local listings), "Sabrina,
the Animated Series" proves that
there's only one thing better than
im agination when it comes to
witches, spells and magic - and
that's animation. The series will
air Sunday through Friday as part
of "D isney's One too," the new
two -hour block of Disney ani­
mated programming on UPN and
in syndication. D1C Entertainment
and Paula Hart Hartbreak Pro­
ductions are the co-producers of
"Sabrina, the Animated Series."
which is distributed by Buena Vista
Television.
"Sabrina, the Animated Series,"
based upon characters appearing
in Archie Comics, features the
voice talent o f 13-year old Emily
Hart as the unpredictable young
Sabrina. She follows in the foot­
steps of her older sister, Melissa,
teens (Source: NTI, 9/2 U98 - $/
26/99). The primetime series is
entering its fourth season and has
made a household name out o f its
star, 23-year old Melissa Joan Hart.
"The Hart sisters and the popu­
larity of the primetime series will
attract viewers to the show, but the
clever humor, colorful animation
and evolving characters will make
the series a television ‘m ust-see’
for kids and their families,” said
Andy Heyward, president and CEO
of D1C and an executive producer
o f the show.
who has "im mortalized" the char­
acter on the primetime ABC se­
ries. Melissa lends her voice to
the animated series as well, por­
traying both of Sabrina s aunts,
Hilda and Zelda, who are teenag­
ers in mortal form but centuries-
old witches in ‘the other realm."
The latest show in Sabrina fran­
chise is certainly in good com­
pany. The live-action "Sabrina,
the Teenage Witch" airs on ABC’s
popular TGIF Friday night line-up
and currently is television’s high­
est-rated program among kids and
