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!

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.

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.

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.

Ah yes, now this is a show I've been wanting to both revisit and review for quite sometime. If someone was to ask me 'What's your favourite cartoon based upon childhood memory?', Honestly I'd have to go with this one.

Storm Hawks is a computer-animated television series that was created by Asaph Fipke and produced by Nerd Corps Entertainment - a Canadian-based studio that was known for specialising in 3D animated action cartoons. I'll be covering another one of their shows soon.

The series takes place in the fictional sky-based world of Atmos; home to a variety of towering land-masses called terras. Each one is protected by a squadron which in turn is led by a sky knight. Our titular protagonists - The Storm Hawks - are a group of young bandits determined to take on the Cyclonian empire and restore peace to the skies of Atmos.

In honesty I didn't think much of it at first seeing it through TV promos, but when I did start to watch the show I became attached and I even remember watching a marathon of episodes one day.

The first episode I ever saw and the one that got me hooked to the series was Best Friends Forever (episode 6 out of season 1), which followed Piper - a knowledgeable crystal expert and the only girl on the team - getting swept into a storm and rescued by a mysterious girl named Lark as they became friends. Later in the episode Lark lures her into a trap revealing herself to be Master Cyclonis (the antagonist) in disguise.

I know this sounds mad but as a little kid I had a crush on Piper. I saw her as this cute teenage girl fighting evil forces alongside her group of friends. As well as Piper the other members of the team are Aerrow; the sky knight of the team and the main protagonist, Finn; the immature wise-cracking guy who fights with his sharpshooter, Junko; the strong one of the team who is part of a race of human-rhino hybrids called the Wallops, Stork; the carrier pilot for their ship and Radarr; a rabbit-lemur like creature who is Aerrow's co-pilot.

Having re-watched this show in my 20's, Stork has now become one of my favourite characters as well. He's just so over the top with his paranoia and pessimism that it's hard not to love him. Often times he'd look at a grim situation and utter the phrase "We're doomed". He belongs to a race of green-skinned creatures known as Merbs, we never know much about Stork's home-planet other than the fact it was attacked by Cyclonians.

Speaking of which, I remember thinking the villains of this show were the best. To me this show was just unlike any other I had seen before. In my eyes Storm hawks was like the combination of anime and video games put together into a whimsical, action-packed adventure series filled with a great story and excellent worldbuilding.

With all that said I still don't get why Cartoon Network felt they needed to pull this show after season 2 when there was still so much more that could've been done. For instance we never found out the reason why Dark Ace pulled an Anakin Skywalker and killed the former Storm Hawks squadron in the first place before joining Cyclonis' side. And what else is there on the other side of Atmos?

If there was any way for this show to be brought back without it ending up like TTG, I wish we could have just one more season to fully wrap up the story with Cyclonis defeated. Maybe give us a TV movie or even a prequel series about Stork, and the origins of his home terra before becoming the team's carrier pilot.

Despite it not being properly finished, Storm Hawks is just a fun ride with a lot of twists, turns, good humour, great voice acting and some of the best CGI animation I've ever seen. If you haven't seen this show before luckily you can watch it all for free on YouTube, thanks to channels like Storm Hawks HD if you want to see good quality episodes.
