Storm Hawks

Plot synopsis:
Storm Hawks is set in a fictional world called Atmos, a largely mountainous world consisting of scattered masses known as terras. Directly below the terras is the Wastelands, the most dangerous place on Atmos, with its infernal fires and wicked creatures. Because of the geography, travel is mostly dependent on flight. The technology of Atmos is based around energy-generating crystals, used to power the various devices in the series. Patrolling the skies of Atmos are the Squadrons, all led by a Sky Knight, groups of warriors who pilot motorcycle-like vehicles called Skimmers that can semi-transform into flying machines. These warriors are loosely managed by the Sky Knight Council.
In the backstory of the series, an evil ruler named Master Cyclonis and her servants, the Cyclonians, threatened Atmos. The original Storm Hawks led the Squadrons in a war against them, but were betrayed and defeated by one of their own (later known as The Dark Ace). Ten years later, the main characters of the series stumble upon the wreckage of the Storm Hawks' carrier, the Condor, and unofficially take on the Storm Hawks name in the hopes of becoming Sky Knights themselves, despite not being old enough to even legally fly the vehicle. Their youth defeats their ambition, however, as neither friend nor foe take them seriously because of it.
This changes when they are brought into conflict with a new Master Cyclonis, granddaughter of the previous one. Among her followers are the Dark Ace, the man who betrayed the original Storm Hawks and now serves Cyclonis as her right-hand man; Snipe, a mace-wielding strong man with a fondness for smashing things; and Snipe's sister, Ravess, an archer who always brings violin-playing henchmen into battle for theme music.

Review:
A surprisingly good kids show.
I thought I was well past the age of watching these kinds of cartoons, but there's something about Storm Hawks that just isn't found in vast majority of kids shows these days.
The unique animation probably has something to do with it, it reminds me of an improved version of the new Spider-Man cartoon (which failed).
However, probably the biggest strength of the show has to be its cast of great original characters in this colorful and exciting world.
None of this would work without good stories though, and from the couple of episodes I've seen so far, this show has great writing that reminds me of Beast Wars and Reboot in its prime.
Surprisingly, I checked and a lot of the same people are involved!
Hopefully the word spreads because this show is great!.
Best show alongside Battle Force 5 to come from Canada.
Well since I haven't watched this show for a good but I can tell you this show is worth the watch.The animation is good.
The stories are very good and cleaver.
Plus its an example of a good show from Canada.
Unlike shows like Johnny Test and Supernoobs..
Absolute brilliance.
Of the vast amount of growing children's TV shows, most of which are total crap (although the new Chop Socky Chooks is pretty entertaining), there's really nothing to watch anymore.
But if you ever stumble upon a time when Storm Hawks is showing, prepare yourself.Storm Hawks sets itself in the vast world of Atmos, which is compromised of dozens of floating "continents" called Terras (Atmos = atmosphere, Terra = territory).
Each Terra is much different from the others, and each episodes is usual set on another Terra.
There's only been around one or two re-used Terras (Terra Neon, a massive amusement park), which brings a vast amount of variety among the 23 or so currently released episodes.I've seen every single episode of the show released thus far, and I must say I've never been so entertained by television.The show centers around the Storm Hawks squadron of Sky Knights, which was formerly defeated by the Cyclonian warrior Dark Ace. However, red spikey haired Aerrow comes to the rescue with his friends Junko, Finn, Piper, and his strange dog styled pet Radarr.
Together, they form the new Storm Hawks squadron.Each episodes centers around the Storm Hawks traveling to a Terra (or another location, like the dreaded Black Gorge or home of the Murk Raiders).
Usually, the Storm Hawks find a problem involving the Cyclonians or Murk Raiders or some other form of treachery.
Using Aerrows supreme flying skills combined with Finn's shot, Piper's intelligence, Junko's strength, and Stork's comedic brilliance (and ability to fly the Condor, the Storm Hawk's massive ship); the Storm Hawks overcome whatever treachery they find.Every episodes is filled with fantastic action involving battles in the air on everyone's planes.
You will be on the edge of your seat watching the epic battles unfold.
Let's not forget the humor.
This show doesn't use lame poop humor like Camp Lazlo or My Gym Partner's a Monkey, this show uses brilliant intelligent humor that's based around today's society.
Stork, our emo paranoid friend, makes you laugh almost every time he speaks.
Finn, commonplace idiot, brings out a few laughs.Every supporting character brings something new to the table, and every location is a different experience for the episodes.
Oh, let's not forget the different experiences.
Almost every episode is something new.
For instance, one episodes involves Aerrow and Radarr trying to escape a Cyclonian prison.
Mr. Moss, head of the prison, leads a hilarious but exciting chase after Aerrow and Radarr.
It's pure brilliance.Overall, Storm Hawks is animated television at its best.
If you watch any cartoons the rest of your life, watch this.
If you buy a DVD set for any television show, get this.
You will laugh, and you will be cheer.
Storm Hawks, prepare for battle..
Sky Knights battle in a fantastic world.
This show is set in a rather strange and fantastic world, where Sky Knights ride mechanical devices through the air and have air battles.
It centres on a group of young knights who all have unique and rather strange individual characteristics about them, and who each have their own style.
The characters of the show are strange, odd, and interesting, and certainly make for entertaining viewing.
The style and animation looks similar to that of Dragon Booster and both are set in strange universes.
But whereas Dragon Booster is set in a large city full of race tracks and guils of racers, tis show is set in the open air in an interesting place rather hard to describe.
Certainly quite entertaining..
Very Good.
The first time I saw the preview of this show, I had to see it.
There I was, flipping through channels, when I suddenly stopped and stared at something that I've never seen beforea kids show that actually looked pretty good!
The one element that intrigued me the most was the unique animation styleI've never seen anything like it before!
When I finally got to watch it, I was very pleased and, from what I've seen and heard, many others were too!
The humor is not just cheesy kids show humor (you know the type-filled with dumb puns and corny one-liners), it's actually funny.
I found myself laughing hysterically at the obsessive paranoia of Stork-the lanky green man/cat/monkey thing!
There's also fast action and slapstick comedy for the kids, as well as well-rounded characters and unique personalities for the critics to admire.
The impressive array of vocal talent adds a sense that you got your times worth watching this show.In fact, the only thing that I can say about this show that may put critics in a snitch is the fact that some of the episode plots are rather petty.
But come now, it's a kids show!
Give them a break!.
Great show but ended way too soon..
Storm hawks has everything, motorcycle planes, floating terras, humor and awesome character models & its a Canadian cartoon, at the time the show was as awesome as Clone Wars, hell i even bought some of the action figures doing the time.Is it great?, well if you where a kid in the early 2000s-mid 2000s-late 2000s well yes it is, at time i was like *wow that's so cool* yea i was 9 years old back in 2008.*Spoilers* Storm Hawks takes place on Atmos world with a thousand mountain top kingdoms, & the sky knights, their duty is to fight against the cyclonians.Overall great and still watchable to this day.
