No Sky Knight squadron was more legendary than the Storm Hawks, but that was before they were defeated by the evil forces of Cyclonia. Now the newly assembled Storm Hawks squad, Aerrow, Radarr, Piper, Junko, Stork and Finn, will send anyone who dares try and clip their wings into a serious tailspin. Too young to have fear (or a pilot’s license), the new Storm Hawks are burning rubber and cracking rudders on an adventure that will take your breath away, or just make you lose your lunch. From the gnarly waves of Tropica to the snow-peaked mountains of Blizzaris, who knew that a dangerous quest could be this much fun?
Storm Hawks depicts the adventures of five mismatched teens as they struggle to defend their people from an evil empire. These young Storm Hawks are armed with transforming flying motorcycles as they fight some of the nastiest villains ever to hit the skies.
One of The Cartoon Network's hottest new shows this past summer is quickly moving to DVD! Although not officially announced by the studio, a full-page ad in this week's new issue of trade publication
Home Media Magazine shows that
Storm Hawks will get 2 separate DVD releases on
January 15th. The Sony Wonder division of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be putting these out.
Each of these single-disc releases will contain 5 episodes (for some reason characterized as "4 episodes and 1 bonus episode"), running 112 minutes and selling for $16.97 SRP each. The studio is considering putting some extras on these DVDs, possibly in the form of background info about the characters, equipment and enemies, but has not yet finalized those plans. An exclusive mini-comic book will be included with each of these items,
Storm Hawks - Hawks Rise Again and
Storm Hawks - Tales from the Atmos. These will be heavily promoted as a tie-in with the show, including kids meals at Hardees and Carl's Jr. fast food locations. Here's a look at the box art, thanks to the trade magazine ad:
