Zak Storm (also known as Zak Storm: Super Pirate) is a computer animated children's television series produced by Zagtoon, Method Animation, De Agostini Editore, SAMG Animation, MNC Animation, and Man of Action. It debuted on Canal J in France on 2 December 2016.[2] It debuted in the United States on KidsClick from 30 September 2017 to 7 January 2018, followed by Discovery Family on 14 October 2017.[3][4] A second season is planned to be released in 2018.[5]

Premise

When teenager Zak Storm takes his father's necklace and goes surfing, he is suddenly sucked by a giant wave and ends up in the Bermuda Triangle where he is picked up by an animated pirate ship called the Chaos with a talking sword named Calabrass. He discovers that the necklace contains a gem called the Eye of Beru, which gives him special powers, and that in order to return home, he needs to become the captain of the Chaos and unite the Seven Seas. He assembles a band of misfits: a ghost boy, an Atlantean princess, a Viking, and a space alien.

Characters

The Seven Cs

  • Zak Storm (full name Conrad Zacharie Storm) is a teen boy who gets sucked into the Seven Seas of the Bermuda Triangle. Zak is voiced by Michael Johnston in the English dub,[6][7] and by Hervé Grull in the French dub.

Zak's crew, the Seven Cs, includes:

  • Cece (full name Chrysta Coraline Lejune), a 13-year-old[8] Atlantean princess and Zak Storm's first mate, helping him stay grounded and keeping his brash side in check. Cece is voiced by Christine Marie Cabanos in English,[6] and by Marie Nonnenmacher in French.
  • Crogar, a 15-year-old[8] viking pirate and the muscle of the Seven Cs, often shouting "Ragnarok!" as a battle-cry. Crogar is voiced by Chris Smith in English,[6] and by Marc Duquonoy in French.
  • Caramba, a small green alien in a yellow exo-skeleton who serves as the Seven Cs' engineer. He is voiced by Max Mittelman in English,[6] and by Olivier Podesta in French.
  • Clovis, a 9-year-old[8] Ectoplasmic-spectre-of-awesome (as he calls himself), not a ghost. Clovis is bound to the ship Chaos and supposedly lost his body, leaving him in his ethereal state. Clovis is voiced by Reba Buhr in English,[6] and by Elodie Menant in French.
  • Calabrass is Zak's magical talking sword that grants Zak his powers, and also serves as his mentor. Calabrass holds the Seven Eyes of the Seven Seas of the Bermuda Triangle, and these Eyes each grant his wielder, Zak, a different elemental power and turn Calabrass into a new weapon. However, for each transformation, he expends energy and needs time to recover. Calabrass is voiced by Kyle Hebert in English,[6] and by Jérôme Wiggins in French.
  • Chaos, a living and surprisingly high-tech pirate ship, doesn't speak but counts as a member of the crew and is surprisingly full of personality. Very loyal to his crew, but can be moody at times. Saves Zak from nearly being eaten by the kraken, when Zak first comes into the triangle, and never lets Zak down, even when Zak pushes him too far.

Antagonists

  • Skullivar, the most powerful bone pirate of all, is Zak's archenemy and tries to steal the Seven Eyes of the Seven Seas for himself and capture Zak. Skullivar is voiced by David Roach in English.[6][9]
  • Golden Bones is Skullivar's lieutenant. He is the captain of a ship called Demoniac and has a literal skeleton crew. He loathes Zak because he's "just a kid" who always beats him in battle. He would give anything to see Zak gone for good. Golden Bones is voiced by Matthew Mercer.[10]

Others

  • Sassafras, a witch that helps out Zak and the 7Cs. She is voiced by Jessica Gee-George in English.[6]

Episodes

The 39 episodes are organized by the French production numbering as posted by Télé Star.[11] US airdates are for Discovery Family Channel (DFC) [12] and release dates from Netflix. As the show was syndicated for broadcast in multiple countries, others may air prior to these dates.

While he's being attacked by Golden Bones, Skullivar's general, and his skeleton army, he activates the great key of the Triangle: Calabrass, the talking sword of legend.
