Sky Dancers

The toy series spawned an animated television spinoff produced by Abrams Gentile Entertainment.inc in association with Xilam and Gaumont Multimedia, who created Dragon Flyz. The premiere took place on the channel France 2 on April 12, 1997. The five characters were said to be students at the High Hope Dance Academy under the widowed Queen Skyla. Queen Skyla and her students defended her kingdom from Skyla's jealous brother-in-law Sky Clone, who sought revenge for his brother Skyler (Skyla's husband) being selected as king over him. Sky Clone had successfully killed Skyler but was unable to gain control of the Sky Swirl Stone that gave the Sky Dancers their powers.

Directed by John Gentile, Anthony Gentile, Savin Yeatman-Eiffel, Sky Dancers leans on a strong ensemble — Donna Daley, Thomas Cannizzaro, Andréa Burns — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1996.
