Good fun for a family of boys or anybody
Storm hawks has become a regularly featured show at our house. Everyone from Mom to the two year old loves this show. It combines some of the best elements from other scifi and fantasy shows, especially Star Wars and the series Firefly. There are also elements of World War I aerial combat, and a little bit of World War II French Resistance fun thrown in. In addition it gives a whole new universe concept. Instead of planets to fly between there are raised pieces of land called terras. These terras are surrounded by clouds and far below is a waste land. Most every thing in this world is powered by crystals. There are crystals for everything from sliming to cloaking. For Dad the best part is the cool motorcycles that turn into planes. Every time they takeoff and land you can't help but want one. All the episodes are great but of particular fun is the episode title "The Black Gorge." The two year old in the family can't seem to get enough of the cute little creatures in it...
Storm Hawks - Fantastic!
I love this show - I caught a glimpse of one of the episodes on TV when I was in the USA back in 2007, and ever since have been fascinated with the style and look of it.
Finally, I buy the first season on DVD, and along with the cool 3D-2D style that it has, its actually got an interesting episodic storyline... Sure, so far its been 'meet a different squadron each episode'-type stuff, but its bound together with a common enemy - the Cyclonians. Each episode, the team gets up to something different.
The characters are very likeable, and there's a really good range of personalities that always lead to often action-packed-yet-comical-situations.
Nonetheless, I got hooked in. Great show, great characters, great visual style and definitely worth checking out the website ([...]) as it has trailers for each episode if you're unsure about what this show is.
Funny and cute, fun for kids and adults
Jaded teenagers full of angst, beware! This is not the show for you. There will be no swearing, no innuendo, no gratuitous violence. When someone gets shot out of the sky, they are careful to show that they parachuted to safety. If someone acts unkind, they are not rewarded for it.
The characters are likable and very interested in being the good guys. There is lots of little quips and moral stories, though its not so overbearing that it detracts from the show.
Nothing deep, nothing adult. Its silly and I couldn't live on it anymore than I can live on cotton candy, but its refreshing. If you're a parent who is concerned with what their kids watch, this is a show you can enjoy with them and not worry about, and you can both enjoy it together.
The graphics are even top notch, better than most kids shows go for today too.
