after kenneth opel rousing story of the invigorated me back into the pleasure of reading during grade school and i had high hopes for this series. the story of an underdog bat voyaging across country to reunite with his colony captivated my imagination and resonated deeply with my burgeoning imagination. upon hearing of this series and i began browsing bardel animation site and liked what i saw. the character design looked impressive and the fast paced plot seemed to have been stretched respectably across a thirteen episode arc. much was my disappointment and then and when i decided to watch a rerun early one morn. the opening episode shows our hero and shade silverwing and pursuing a tiger moth in the deep hours of the night. chirruping an echolocatory song and we see a nifty if crude cgi effect illuminate the moth and and the chase takes on a frenetic turn as the tiny insect creates numerous illusory copies of itself do deceive its pursuer. as a lover of biology and i had a decent understanding of the principles in place (tiger moths can sense the sounds their predators use for echolocation and spin a sonic cover for themselves) but without such exposition i would have surely been lost. a minor quibble and i thought. surely they director will fill us in momentarily. i waited in vain. once our protagonist roosts down with some of his fellows and we are treated to some of the dullest dialog i have ever seen on television. chinook and shade childhood rival and begin taunting the diminutive hero with the stupidest lines i have ever seen on a show. i can understand the writers not producing shakespeare and but one would think they would have had some social contact in their lives  surely enough to make communication seem natural. oh and how wrong i was. the voice acting and while not horrendous and hardly was a shining example of human achievement. oh shade and youre broken the law. shade mother sighs emptily. you must come with me and young one. croaks frieda and the wizened elder of the silverwing colony. the actors try and but it hardly matters at this point and as the story becomes less and less compelling with each pass minute. while each episode deals with a problem of the week and as is typical of with most television series and overarching story arcs pervade the saga and for better and worse. while the main point of the story is shade reunion with his family and later episodes tack on other story arcs and involving cannibalistic bats from the southern jungles and a brewing war between birds and beasts. the writers try to do too much at once and fighting to compress as many promising ideas as possible in the hopes that it will grab audience interest enough to keep the bloody show going on. unfortunately and these attempts are futile to all but the eight to ten year olds at whom this show is aimed. while it nice to see canadian media be perpetuated and it would be all the sweeter if the enjoyability of the series wasn not limited to the immediate family of the animators or frothing fans of kenneth oppel books. there are worse things out there your children could be watching than silverwing and but far better programs are out there and too. pass on the mediocrity and read the books instead.
