September

  • September 5: The first episode of 2 Stupid Dogs airs.
  • September 6: The first episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog airs. It was originally planned to be a Saturday morning series, but got rejected by ABC and became a weekday series for syndication instead.[5]
  • September 13: The first episode of Animaniacs airs.
  • September 18:
  • September 23: The Thief and the Cobbler by Richard Williams is released after being in production for a record-breaking 30 years. Unfortunately, it was not well-received due to the changes made after Williams lost all rights of the film in 1992.[8] It would not be released in the US until 1995 when Miramax Films retains its distribution rights while editing the film further, which became a critical failure and is since regarded to be an insult to Richard Williams.[9]

October

  • October 10: A five-year-old boy, Austin Matthews, sets fire to his mother's mobile home in Moraine, Ohio, killing his two-year-old sister Jessica. The mother claims that her son got the idea from watching Beavis and Butt-Head.[10] Although it is later revealed that the family did not have cable television and thus could not watch the show, the controversy led to Beavis and Butt-Head being rescheduled to air later in the evenings and be edited to remove all references to fire.[11]
  • October 21: During a U.S. Senate hearing, chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Ernest Fritz Hollings, argues that TV broadcasters have to be pressured to curb violent or otherwise offensive shows, making direct reference to Beavis and Butt-Head. However, he is ridiculed for mispronouncing the characters' names as Buffcoat and Beaver and admitting that he had never watched the show.[12]
  • October 29: Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas is released. It becomes a cult classic and an unexpected phenomenon on every Halloween.[13]
