Being produced by DICEntertainment during the time it was owned by Creator/{{Disney}} and having run on Creator/{{ABC}}'s One Saturday Morning and its weekday afternoon counterpart One Too on {{UPN}}, it was oddly treated like it was as much of a show by Disney as the company's actual productions. The reruns on ToonDisney placed it in the same primetime block as Disney cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' and ''{{Disney/Aladdin}}'', even though it was pretty obvious that this was not an actual Disney cartoon. In its original run, the show lasted from September, 1999 to February, 2000 for a total of 65 episodes.

In its original run, the show lasted from September, 1999 to February, 2000 for a total of 65 episodes.



After DIC split up from Disney, they produced a MadeForTVMovie titled ''Sabrina: Friends Forever'', which served as the pilot to a new syndicated series titled ''Sabrina's Secret Life'', which was basically a follow-up to the first series. Many of the original characters from the first series were [[PutOnABus put on a bus]] or [[BrotherChuck brother chucked]] and, since by this point Disney had ended their contract with DIC, features none of the original voice actors either. In this version, Sabrina now going to high school (further contradicting the main series, but only two years younger) is now at the age where she can attend magic school as well. She quickly finds a new rival in Cassandra, who's a full witch--and will let Sabrina know it every chance she gets. Of course, Sabrina more than willing to prove being full blooded doesn't mean you're automatically better.

Ironically, reruns of ''Sabrina's Secret Life'' briefly popped up on ToonDisney for a while. After that, they were aired for a while on Saturday mornings on {{CBS}}'s ''CookieJar TV'' block in 2010, with "Sabrina's Secret Life" joining it on September 18. On February 5, they were replaced by ''{{Trollz}}'' and ''{{Horseland}}''.

In its original run, the show lasted from September, 1999 to February, 2000 for a total of 65 episodes.

For those out of the know, the cartoon was more like an AlternateContinuity than a prologue to the live action series as it contradicts many things. For example, in the main show Sabrina comes into her powers on her sixteenth birthday and learns that her family (save for her mother) are witches. In the animated show, Sabrina is a preteen and already has her powers as well as knows about the magical nature of her family. In this version, Sabrina goes to middle school in between learning to use her magic. Harvey goes to the same school along with her and of course the two develop a like for one another. Her rival on the school ground is Gem Stone (acting as a preteen AlphaBitch for Libby) and her best friend is Chloe, the only human who knows of Sabrina's secret. Her aunts, Zelda and Hilda, are in this version as well but are stuck in teenage bodies for a never revealed punishment. Thus, they have to be looked on by their Uncle Quigley (another original character) till then. Salem still lives with the bunch as usual and, being an animated show, is given much more movement than his live action counterpart.

After DIC split up from Disney, they produced a MadeForTVMovie titled ''Sabrina: Friends Forever'', which served as the pilot to a new syndicated series titled ''Sabrina's Secret Life'', which was basically a follow-up to the first series.

----
!!''SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' contains examples of:
* ActorAllusion: "FINE! WHO NEEDS AN AUTOGRAPH FROM MELISSA JOAN HART ANYWAY!?"
* {{Adorkable}}: Pi and Harvey.
* AlphaBitch: Gem.
* AsHimself: WeirdAlYankovic in "Witchy Grrrls".
* BadFuture: One that caused by stealing oddly enough.
* BadassAdorable: Sabrina can be like this a few times.
* BadassNormal: Tim The Witch Smeller is a villainous variation of this; using science to swore revenge on witches since he bullied as a kid for being a MuggleBornOfMages.
* BalloonBelly: Sabrina in one episode.
** And Salem in another episode.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A major theme in the first series as, since Sabrina wasn't powerful enough yet, had to rely on the "Spooky Jar" who would grant Sabrina's desire at the moment. Typical of course these would always backfire and Sabrina would have to find a way to fix the problem.
* BetweenMyLegs: During the episode "Nothin' Spells Lovin Like Somethin' From a Coven", while Sabrina and Gem are arguing, this shot is used with Gem's legs as framing.
* BigEater: Salem.
** And Harvey if the episode calls for it.
* {{Bishonen}} - Pi has very feminine features, and on top of that he's also voiced by a woman.
* BlondBrunetteRedhead: Sabrina (blond), Zelda (redhead), and Hilda (brunette)
* BreakTheCutie: Harvey when he finds out his favorite cartoon got cancelled and when he was playing an arcade game at a very high level until an employee accidentally restarted it. PlayedForLaughs.
* BrokenAesop - The moral of "Moldy Oldie" is basically that it's wrong to deny an elderly person a place in society just because they have so many years of experience, never mind the fact that said elderly person may be senile and/or a danger to himself or others.
* CatchPhrase: Pi had two. "Mi Amigo" and "chyah"
* CatsAreSnarkers: Salem
* ChristmasEpisode ("[[YetAnotherChristmasCarol Witchmas Carole]]")
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pi. And depending on the episode, Harvey (The latter [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] in ''Sabrina's Secret Life'').
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Hilda and Zelda teenage forms are the result for "abusing magic" in the past (which is kinda weird, Hilda one can understand but Zelda?). Apparently being "young and beautiful" as Zelda quips is a dishonor in the witches world.
** Could also be seen as CursedWithAwesome.
** Enchantra punishes them for allowing her to flirt with a conjured up version of [[RomeoAndJuliet Romeo]] by making them go out in public dressed as Rock-Hopper Penguins for a week.
* CoolLoser - Sabrina and Chloe appear to be in the unpopular crowd for no reason other than because the popular kids say so.
* CrossDressingVoices - Pi is voiced by ChantalStrand.
* CrowdSong: ''Goin' To The Beach'' from the episode "Wiccan Of The Sea".
* CuteShotaroBoy: Harvey
* DarkHorseVictory - In "Wag the Witch," Sabrina runs for class president and Gem tries to ruin her campaign by having a reporter for the school newspaper follow her and watch her every move. Sabrina conjures up a pair of glasses that make the reporter see Sabrina as a normal tween girl. The reporter ends up running an article about how boring Sabrina is and endorses the school's resident [[StrangeGirl Strange Boy]] Pi, who wins the election.
* {{Disneyesque}}: While the show was part of OneSaturdayMorning, Disney didn't make it (though Buena Vista produced the first series)...though the art style is ''very'' similar to various Disney movies.
* {{Disproportionate Retribution}}: Tim the Witch Hunter's reason for hunting witches was because they made fun of him during his schools days.
* TheDitz: Harvey.
* EditedForSyndication - Ever since the show left its original networks, the theme song was cut down to 45 seconds in the United States.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding - Occasionally used, as well as Everybody Laughs Credits at the end of every episode.
* EvenEvilHasStandards - "When in Rome" reveals that even Gem would never intentionally kill someone.
** In "Documagicary" during the EngineeredPublicConfession where the [[NewMediaAreEvil evil reality show director]] explains that he released Tim, endangering the lives of witches everywhere, for ratings, Tim is shocked at how evil this guy is.
* TheFaceless - Salem in flashbacks to when he was a human warlock.
* FantasticRacism - Against mortals and half-witches.
** And in the case of Tim the Witch Smeller, against witches.
** According to the Witch's counsel, half-witches are inferior to full witches.
* FollowTheLeader - Deemed to be the worst example of the wave of comic book themed show imitating BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.
* FootFocus - Chloe wears sandals all off the time, and likewise with Gem half of the time.
* FreudianExcuse - Tim the Witch-Smeller's hatred of witches comes from them tormenting him when he was a child.
* GiveGeeksAChance - Harvey isn't exactly the coolest guy around, yet Gem has an all too transparent crush on him.
* HiddenEyes - Pi's eyes are always hidden under his hat.
** You do see them for a second in "Paranormal Pi" when Slugloaf knocks him into a bush, but they're closed the whole time.
* HumiliationConga - In "Paranormal Pi" when Pi's paranormal activity tracker is homing in on Sabrina's house with a large mob of people following him, Sabrina has no choice but to make it look like the device didn't work, utterly humiliating him.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan - The episode "Shrink to Fit".
* ISeeLondon - "Shrink to Fit" has magic used to fit into tight jeans backfire as it's victims shrink even further to doll size, the first indication of this is the pants becoming too ''big''. Oddly both Chloe (green) and Sabrina (blue) are wearing boxers.
* ItWasAllJustADream - see CrowdSong.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - Salem, and Gem occasionally.
* KarmaHoudini - "Picture Perfect" ends with Sabrina winning the student of the year award, but then giving it up by admitting she cheated. Instead Gem wins, despite her having also cheated. The closest thing she gets to a punishment is everyone walking out on her victory speech.
* LargeHam - Alvin. Don't EVER laugh at him!
* LimitedWardrobe: Everyone in the show....with the exception of Gem.
** Gem actually [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this in one episode: "Great outfit, Spellman. I just never get tired of seeing you in it."
* {{Meganekko}}: Zelda.
* MiniDressOfPower: Aunt Hilda wears one.
* MoralityPet - Alvin from the episode "Planet of the Dogs" starts off like this but after being neglected and gaining the ability to speak, becomes a KnightTemplar and NobleDemon for the neglected and abused neighborhood dogs.
* MuggleBornOfMages - Tim the Witch-Smeller. In this series he seems to be a unique case, which is why all his empowered peers [[FreudianExcuse made his life hell]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed - The director in "Documagicary" is a GiantSpider named [[QuentinTarantino Quentin Tarantulino]].
* NobleDemon - As noted, Alvin from "Planet of the Dogs".
* NotSoHarmless - Tim The Witch Smeller and his pet aardvark.
* PoorCommunicationKills
* SarcasmFailure - Harvey is prone to this.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior - Uncle Zamboni in "Paranormal Pi"
* SealedEvilInACan - The Spooky Jar.
** Though not all that evil as it at the least gave Sabrina a ResetButton for most of her wishes.
* SecretKeeper: Chloe
* SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon
* TalkingToHimself - Gem and Pi in "Picture Perfect".
** Gem and Bernard in several episodes.
** And Hilda and Zelda. Both are done by Melissa Joan Hart.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight - The usual reaction by mortals whenever a spell is cast right in front of their eyes.
* WeWantOurJerkBack - Subverted. When Sabrina unwittingly made a cake that reversed its eater's personality, Gem became a nice girl clever enough to figure out Sabrina's secret. Together, the two of them developed an antidote that turned everyone back to normal and made them [[StatusQuoIsGod forget everything]]. When Gem was the only one left, Sabrina tried to convince her '''NOT''' to drink it because she likes the new Gem better. The new Gem decided that bringing back the old one was the right thing to do and, as her parting words, told Sabrina she'll still be deep somewhere inside the original Gem.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: In "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?" we see flashbacks of Harvey and Gem getting their hearts broken by trivial things.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?" Sabrina is told to search for one person who never had their heart broken. Eventually she gives up, saying she checked everyone she could. This would imply Pi was among the people she checked, but we never see his broken heart flashback and it's hard to imagine how someone as laid back as him could have his heart broken.
* WhosLaughingNow: Tim when he actually becomes a threat to the witches who once mocked him.
* {{Who Wants To Live Forever}}: Or morever "Who Wants To Be Young And Beautiful Forever"?

!!''Sabrina's Secret Life'' contains examples of:
* ArtEvolution: Subverted. Due to only DiC and Les Studios Tex working on the series (Disney split up with DiC at the time and Melissa Joan Hart didn't produce the show anymore), the animation and character design was pretty lazy, such as how Maritza was just a recolored version of Chloe, and Cassandra was a background student (once shown in Gem's posse originally unnamed!) in the 1999 series.
** One example of actual evolution was the eyes of the characters. They became more "shiny"
** It was mainly the clothes and hairstyles that changed (similar to ''Disney's {{Doug}}''.
* {{Bishonen}}: Salem's human form.
* ChannelHop: From {{ABC}} for the first series to syndication for ''Sabrina's Secret Life''. Then found a new home on {{CBS}} before being pulled off completely.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: While Gem and Chloe's departures were explained, we still don't know what happened to Pi, Quigley, or the Spooky Jar.
* {{Flanderization}}: Harvey started out as a sweet but kinda ditzy guy. He's a full-blown idiot in ''Sabrina's Secret Life''.
* FoeYay: Sabrina and Cassandra grow more and more attached to each other as the show goes on, culminating in [[spoiler: Cassandra's HeelFaceTurn at the end.]]
* GRatedDrug: Dreamland in "Living Her Dreams".
* HairOfGold: In one episode, when Salem turned human he got blond hair.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Cassandra]] at the end of the show.
* TheOtherDarrin: Due to Melissa Joan Hart and Buena Vista no longer producing the series, the voice actors in ''Sabrina's Secret Life'' were all changed, except for Harvey, who kept his voice from the first animated series.
* PaperThinDisguise - Mr. Snipe's mortal disguise consists of just human clothes. His grotesque features should make him really stand out, but no-one seems to see anything weird about him.
* PutOnABus: Chloe and Gem
* [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections Screw The Rules, I Have Connections]] - Cassandra is Enchantra's niece and occasionally uses this to her advantage.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute - Maritza replacing Chloe, who reportedly [[WrittenInAbsence moved away]].
**Actually Maritza used the same basic character design used for Chloe, only with slightly lighter skin color to indicate that Maritza was vaguely Hispanic.
** Also, Cassandra uses a similar character design to Gem.
