Synopsis

Thanks to The Vector's elaborate security defense network, "Blue Sky," Puerto Angel is rendered virtually invisible to The Sphere, allowing Cortes and his pirates to conduct raids on The Sphere. One such raid yields a mysterious device that The Vector determines is a vessel for Mila's entire collection of memories. The only problem is that to access the memories, the device must be connected to the powerful Blue Sky defense computer, which would render Puerto Angel defenseless. Erring on the side of caution, Cortes and The Vector decide to take their time in analyzing the memories. But their caution doesn't sit well with Lena, who's convinced that they have to access the memories immediately of they might lose an opportunity to save their mother from The Sphere's prison. Going against Cortes's orders, Lena convinces Cheng to help her connect the device to Blue Sky. And that's exactly when they realize that the device is actually a clever trap designed to deactivate Blue Sky, allowing Oslo's fleet to converge on Blue Angel and crush the pirates once and for all.

Production notes

In the year 2251, the earth shattered into millions of blocks that now float in orbit around the earth's core, but these blocks remained suitable for living, and life continued on them. Soon, children with telekinetic powers-the Seijin-appeared. The earth's dictatorship, known as The Sphere, raised these children to enforce their power. A resistance movement of Pirates formed, but disbanded after their leader Marcus Farrell disappears. Skyland's young heroes Mahad and Lena find themselves unlikely members of the gang of Pirate rebels after their mother is kidnapped and imprisoned. They begin a journey to free their mother, fight the control of the Sphere and unravel the mystery of their father, Marcus Farrell.

Motion capture animation (combined 2D and 3D).
