The Classic '80s Cartoon SILVERHAWKS Is Getting an Animated Revival!
I’ve got some exciting news for all of you who grew up in the ‘80s! The classic cartoon series SilverHawks is getting an animated revival from the Nacelle Company! Nacelle produces Disney+’s Behind The Attraction, Netflix’s The Movies That Made Us, The Toys That Made Us, and Down To Earth with Zac Efron.
The company announced a partnership with SilverHawks LLC to resurrect the iconic animated television show, and I’m actually pretty stoked about the news. I loved this show as a kid, and it’s one that I’ve actually been wanting to see revived.
The original SilverHawks series was developed by Rankin/Bass Productions and released in 1986. The show consisted of 65 episodes. The story followed a bionic policeman named Commander Stargazer who recruited the SilverHawks, a group of heroes who are "partly metal, partly real" to fight the evil Mon*Star, who is an escaped alien mob boss that transforms into an enormous armor-plated creature with the help of Limbo's Moonstar.
It’s going to be a lot of fun to see this series make a comeback! I just hope that it turns out to be good. Earlier this year, Super7 announced a new line of ReAction figures for SilverHawks. Brian Flynn, Founder and Owner of Super7, said at the time,
“SilverHawks is a beloved franchise that has been overlooked for far too long. We are super excited to be working with Nacelle to bring SilverHawks back into the limelight for the die-hard fans as well as a new generation of fans to experience the magic of SilverHawks for the first time.”
Brian Volk-Weiss, Founder and CEO of The Nacelle Company shared, “When I spoke with Brian Flynn the first time, I was like the character Yes-Man! ;Yessss, just tell me where to sign!’”
Are you excited that SilverHawks is making a comeback?
