Comment by the poster:
Had this aired on Nickelodeon back in the early 2000’s, it would’ve been the first anime-based, action-oriented cartoon in it’s history. But due to some of the content in it (watch towards the end. There’s a scene where the main character’s blimp jet almost crashes into two identical looking skyscrapers), it was never released due to the events of September 11th. So enjoy what could’ve been and should’ve been.
I think he means the four minute mark, maybe halfway through. Personally, I like it. It’s like a more action version of Jonny Quest with Benton and Race as the same character, Jonny is a girl but not overpowered, takes place in a stylized future world with blimp cars, and quite fun. Although technically, the villain won. At best the heroes survived and beat up a bunch of minions but the bad guy got what he came for. It’s why I say you don’t have to kill the heroes to defeat them. I’d suggest trying again but in this current mindset of writers I’m not sure the show would be nearly as good with all the changes they’d add to it.





[…] only think of three productions that anyone might have heard of, and I’m stretching with the failed Constant Payne pilot. Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow is very dark visually to hide the new special effect style […]
