'''The Enchantments''' is an area comprising of an upper and lower [[Drainage basin|basin]] and the lakes contained within them in the [[Alpine Lakes Wilderness]] about {{Convert|15|mi|km|0}} southwest of [[Leavenworth, Washington]]<ref name="Johnson04">
'''''Sabrina, the Animated Series''''' (often punctuated '''''Sabrina: The Animated Series''''', even in official promotional material) is an [[United States|American]] [[animated television series]] based on the [[Archie Comics]] character [[Sabrina, the Teenage Witch]]. It was produced by [[DiC Entertainment]], which was owned by [[Disney]] at the time. The cartoon series could also be considered a spin-off of the [[Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (TV series)|popular live action series]] that ran on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] (also owned by Disney). Later, a television/direct-to-video movie ''[[Sabrina: Friends Forever]]'' and a spin-off series ''[[Sabrina's Secret Life]]'' were produced by DiC, this time without the ownership of Disney.

== History ==
The first [[European American]] to discover the area and name it was [[A. H. Sylvester]], topographer for the [[US Geological Survey]] and first supervisor of the [[Wenatchee National Forest]]. At the time Sylvester named the area the high alpine basin was filled with the [[Snow Creek Glacier]]. The lakes in the upper basin are remnants of the decreasing glacier.<ref name="SpringManningAlpineLakes">
Most episodes centered on the typical problems of middle school, along with those that stemmed from Sabrina's inexperience with or misuse of [[witchcraft]]. Sabrina and best friend Chloe would often use magic (often from the "Spooky Jar" a [[cookie jar]] containing a genie-like being&mdash;in the family's kitchen) for all sorts of perceived emergencies, ranging from trying to fit into skinny new clothes to turning Sabrina's boyfriend Harvey into a [[superhero]]. By the end of each episode, the magic would backfire. Sabrina would learn that using magic usually wasn't the solution to her day-to-day problems.

By the 1940s climbers discovered the area and began naming the crags. Bill and Peg Stark of Leavenworth, became frequent visitors who drew upon various mythologies to name features of the landscape. When they made their first visit in the [[fall]] of 1959, they were captivated by the golden splendor of the [[larch]] trees, the numerous lakes and [[tarns]], and jagged peaks towering above. They used fairy names such as Gnome Tarn, Troll Sink, Naiad Lake, Sprite and [[King Arthur]] legends in the Lower Enchantment Basin because "the lower basin was not as austere as the upper basin," according to Peg. They used [[Norsemen|Norse]] names and mythology for features of the upper basin, for example Brynhild Lake, Lake Freya, Valhalla Cirque because, Peg said, it felt "as if the Ice Age had just gone off."<ref name="SeattlePI98"/>
== Production ==
The series debuted in [[1999]]. The [[Archie Comics]] star had already graced the Saturday morning airwaves in the 1970s (courtesy of [[Filmation]]), but the popularity of the live-action ''[[Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (TV series)]]'' sitcom in the 1990s formed part of the basis for this spin-off series. Unlike previous versions, Sabrina in this series was depicted as a 12-year-old attending [[middle school]]. As in the original comic series, Sabrina lives with her two aunts, [[Hilda and Zelda Spellman]], and [[Salem Saberhagen]], Sabrina's sarcastic cat, all of whom advise Sabrina on the use of her powers (thereby contradicting the live-action show's premise of not having those powers prior to her sixteenth birthday; thus this series is essentially a "retelling" of the story, similar in concept to [[The New Archies]], a previous Archie Comics-based DiC production).


== Hiking ==
[[Savage Steve Holland]] (whose previous credits include producing ''[[Eek! The Cat]]'') was the executive producer of ''Sabrina, the Animated Series''. As such, the series reflected some of the irreverent style of humor seen on ''[[Eek! The Cat]]''. Celebrity voice cameos in this series included [[Mr. T]] and [["Weird Al" Yankovic]].
There are two approaches to the Enchantments Basin, both trail heads are accessed via [[Icicle Creek]]. The [[Snow Lake, Chelan County, Washington|Snow Lake]] trail head is off [[Icicle Creek]] Road at large parking lot next to the creek. The trail climbs 6.5 miles to [[Snow Lake, Chelan County, Washington|Snow Lake]] gaining 4100 feet. From Snow lake the trail ascends over sloping granite rock another 1400 feet to Lake Vivianne at the lower end of the Enchantments. This hike usually takes two days each way and is described as "long, steep, and grueling".<ref name="SpringManningAlpineLakes"/>. The other alternate route is from the Stuart Lake trail head a couple of miles up Eightmile road off Icicle Creek. The trail up to [[Colchuck Lake]] is 4 3/4 miles and gains 2100 feet; another 1.75 miles brings you to the end of the lake and [[Aasgard Pass]], which climbs 2200 feet in less than a mile. This route is regarded by some as easier since it is shorter, but the Snow Lake route is the recommended approach to the lakes.<ref name="SpringManningWashingon">

Aasgard Pass is a steep scramble which is dangerous in snow.<ref name="Leonard05"/> The Aasgard Pass route has also been described as "in very bad taste" because it bypasses the beauty of the lower basin to get to the upper basin first. The two routes can be combined to from a loop if the hiking party has two cars.


As The Enchantments became a popular hiking destination the [[National Forest Service]] began in 1987 limiting the number of people allowed to camp in the area to sixty at a time. A system of permits was created. Seventy-five percent of the permits are issued ahead of time via a lottery with a [[March 1]] deadline. The other 25 percent are daily permits issued on a first come first serve basis at 7:45 am at the Leavenworth Ranger Station on weekdays. The Enchantments area is divided into five zones. The three major zones are the Snow Zone (from Icicle Creek up to Snow Lakes), the Colchuck Zone (the area surrounding Colchuck Lake) and between those two the Enchantment Zone for the upper basin.<ref name="NFS06"}>
[[Melissa Joan Hart]], who starred in the live-action sitcom, acted as producer of this series, but her younger sister, [[Emily Hart]], voiced Sabrina. Melissa instead voiced Sabrina's two aunts, Hilda and Zelda. Salem is voiced by [[Nick Bakay]], who also voiced Salem in the live-action series.

The forest service have also banned dogs in the area which has allowed the population of [[mountain goats]] and [[ptarmigan]] recover.<ref name="Johnson04"/><ref name="SpringManningAlpineLakes"/>
The series ran on [[UPN]] and in syndication (on ''[[Disney's One Too]]'' weekday afternoon block) and on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] (on ''[[Disney's One Saturday Morning]]'' block) for one season with 65 episodes produced. In October [[2002]], a made-for-television movie based on the series was produced for cable channel [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)]]. This was soon followed by a follow-up animated series, ''Sabrina's Secret Life''. The original series at that time began airing on cable channels [[Disney Channel]] and [[Toon Disney]], but recently has reverted once again to airing in syndication. During the 2006-2007 television season, the series returned as part of [[CBS]]'s new ''KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS'' and was briefly part of the ''[[KEWLopolis]]'' cartoon lineup.

In [[Germany]], ''[[Sabrina's Secret Life]]'' is simply a third season of ''Sabrina, the Animated Series'', both under the title ''Simsalabim Sabrina''. <ref> [http://www.zeichentrickserien.de/sabrina.htm Simsalabim Sabrina].

==DVD Release==
''The Very Best of Sabrina: the Animated Series'' by [[Shout! Factory]] contains twelve episodes of the cartoon.[[http://www.shoutfactorystore.com/prod.aspx?pfid=39]]
It is currently unknown if the entire series will be released on DVD.

This show has also been released earlier on several other DVDs, including ''Witch in Training'', ''Bat Attack'', and the holiday special ''A Witchmas Carol'' by [[Animation Station]].

==Merchandise==
An 11 inch Sabrina fashion doll was released by the company Bambola [[http://www.tons-of-toys.com/english_item_details.php?codice=1570]]. Several other small plastic toys, including a few figurines and a [[Polly Pocket]]-esque Sabrina doll were sold in stores while the series was in production. [[http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PF2BF2]]

==Comic Book==
While ''Sabrina, the Animated Series'' was airing, [[Archie Comics]] printed a comic spin-off for the show. The first issue was dated January 2000 (meaning it was on-sale in late 1999), and it lasted for 37 issues. <br/> In order to tie the plot in with their [[Sabrina, the Teenage Witch|current ''Sabrina'' series]], it was explained in the first issue that Repulsa the Goblin queen had sent Sabrina back in time to relive her pre-teen years, so that she would be out of the way while Repulsa attempted to conquer Enchantra's realm. In issue 38, the Repulsa plot was resolved, and the comic book switched to chronicling the teenage Sabrina.

== Characters ==
* '''Sabrina Spellman'''

Voiced by [[Emily Hart]], has a secret: she's a half witch/mortal. She doesn’t become magically empowered until she's sixteen, but it’s possible to borrow spells from her aunts Hilda and Zelda, which she often does. She finds her meddling turns the situation from bad to worse. Her friend '''Chloe''' is aware of Sabrina's magic but '''Harvey Kinkle''', another friend and her romantic interest, isn't.

* '''Harvey Dwight Kinkle'''

Voiced by [[Bill Switzer]], has a cute and sweet personality, and, of course, is too shy to admit to '''Sabrina''' as anything more than his best pal. He is unaware Sabrina is a witch though often sees the results of the magic himself.

* '''Hilda and Zelda'''

Voiced by [[Melissa Joan Hart]], while Hilda suggests they bend the rules a little and magic to get ahead, Zelda’s determined to say no right up until the moment she gives up. Hilda is more carefree and reckless than her cautious sister Zelda but although they do butt heads they love each other. In this series and [[Sabrina's Secret Life]], Hilda and Zelda both have the appearance of teenagers, as this was the punishment they received from Enchantra for "abusing magic" in the past.

* '''Salem'''

Voiced by [[Nick Bakay]], Sabrina's cat (and probably '''familiar''') with a big attitude. Together they're a potent combination. Salem knows the right buttons to push to talk Sabrina into just about anything and he does it guiltlessly - until he's caught.

* '''Gemini "Gem" Stone'''

Voiced by [[Chantal Strand]], is Sabrina's chief rival. She is very wealthy and sees Sabrina as her main competition for '''Harvey''''s affection. Stone is this series version of Libby Chessler from the live action series.

* '''Uncle Quigley'''

Voiced by [[Jay Brazeau]], is an original character created for this series, Sabrina's maternal great-uncle and the household's adult guardian.

* '''Chloe Flan'''

Voiced by [[Cree Summer]], is Sabrina's best friend and is another mortal that knows that Sabrina is a witch-in-training.

Revision as of 20:30, 10 October 2008


The Enchantments is an area comprising of an upper and lower basin and the lakes contained within them in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness about 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Leavenworth, Washington[1] in the United States. The Enchantments is regarded as one of the most spectacular locations in the Cascade Range.[2]

History

The first European American to discover the area and name it was A. H. Sylvester, topographer for the US Geological Survey and first supervisor of the Wenatchee National Forest. At the time Sylvester named the area the high alpine basin was filled with the Snow Creek Glacier. The lakes in the upper basin are remnants of the decreasing glacier.[3]

By the 1940s climbers discovered the area and began naming the crags. Bill and Peg Stark of Leavenworth, became frequent visitors who drew upon various mythologies to name features of the landscape. When they made their first visit in the fall of 1959, they were captivated by the golden splendor of the larch trees, the numerous lakes and tarns, and jagged peaks towering above. They used fairy names such as Gnome Tarn, Troll Sink, Naiad Lake, Sprite and King Arthur legends in the Lower Enchantment Basin because "the lower basin was not as austere as the upper basin," according to Peg. They used Norse names and mythology for features of the upper basin, for example Brynhild Lake, Lake Freya, Valhalla Cirque because, Peg said, it felt "as if the Ice Age had just gone off."[2]

Hiking

There are two approaches to the Enchantments Basin, both trail heads are accessed via Icicle Creek. The Snow Lake trail head is off Icicle Creek Road at large parking lot next to the creek. The trail climbs 6.5 miles to Snow Lake gaining 4100 feet. From Snow lake the trail ascends over sloping granite rock another 1400 feet to Lake Vivianne at the lower end of the Enchantments. This hike usually takes two days each way and is described as "long, steep, and grueling".[3]. The other alternate route is from the Stuart Lake trail head a couple of miles up Eightmile road off Icicle Creek. The trail up to Colchuck Lake is 4 3/4 miles and gains 2100 feet; another 1.75 miles brings you to the end of the lake and Aasgard Pass, which climbs 2200 feet in less than a mile. This route is regarded by some as easier since it is shorter, but the Snow Lake route is the recommended approach to the lakes.[4][5] Aasgard Pass is a steep scramble which is dangerous in snow.[5] The Aasgard Pass route has also been described as "in very bad taste" because it bypasses the beauty of the lower basin to get to the upper basin first. The two routes can be combined to from a loop if the hiking party has two cars.

As The Enchantments became a popular hiking destination the National Forest Service began in 1987 limiting the number of people allowed to camp in the area to sixty at a time. A system of permits was created. Seventy-five percent of the permits are issued ahead of time via a lottery with a March 1 deadline. The other 25 percent are daily permits issued on a first come first serve basis at 7:45 am at the Leavenworth Ranger Station on weekdays. The Enchantments area is divided into five zones. The three major zones are the Snow Zone (from Icicle Creek up to Snow Lakes), the Colchuck Zone (the area surrounding Colchuck Lake) and between those two the Enchantment Zone for the upper basin.[6][7]

The forest service have also banned dogs in the area which has allowed the population of mountain goats and ptarmigan recover.[1][3]
