Product Description
Long before the age of man, the land was ruled by two warring species: the birds and the beasts. Bats, belonging to both sides but neither, refused to take up arms. The battle was long and fierce, and at its conclusion a great treaty was forged... A treaty which banished the bats from the light of day, as punishment for their lack of alliance.
Thousands of years later, a young bat by the name of Shade Silverwing has broken that treaty, invoking the wrath of power-hungry owls who banish his colony and scatter his family. Now, with the help of a few close friends, Shade must discover his true strength to overcome enemies both powerful and cruel to save the Silverwings from extinction. Come take flight alongside Shade and join the fight to bring justice back to the animal kingdom.

A Unique Series,
By
This review is from: Silverwing Season Set (DVD)
Being a huge fan of the series of books, I had pretty low expectations for the TV show, and although it could've been more faithful to the book, I was pleasantly surprised. With it's unique animation style and characters (who's ever seen a cartoon about bats before?), I would reccomend this book to animation lovers and (non-purist) fans of the novels.

Read the original book instead,

This review is from: Silverwing Season Set (DVD)
I watched a few episodes of the Sliverwing animated series on TV a while back and it was awful. The art style, with its flat, angular character designs, excessively anthropomorphised bats and unconvincing integration of CGI with traditional animation made it painful to watch. The TV series also adds a lot of padding, with superfluous and uninteresting animal characters that weren't in the original story. If one wants to see a visual representation of Kenneth Oppel's book, I'd recommend the Silverwing: 10th Anniversary Edition with its gorgeous black-and white ink illustrations by David Frankland over this garish monstrosity any day.

This is an excellent series!,
This review is from: Silverwing Season Set (DVD)
I watched the show when it was on TV. I knew I had to watch it after reading the books. At first, I personally felt that the television story failed to do the book justice. However, I have mellowed on that opinion after watching the series again on DVD. The animation is beautiful and the story truly stands on its own! The show's plot is left a bit open at the end, allowing for a possible continuation. However, tragically, the funding has been cut. Support this show! I certainly don't regret buying my copy!
