Rocket Power is an American animated television series that aired from August 16, 1999 until July 30, 2004 on Nickelodeon.

Premise

A show based around extreme sports, friendship, and conquering the ups and downs of life, Rocket Power involves the daily situations of a group of friends living in the fictitious town of Ocean Shores.

Production

Rocket Power was produced by Klasky-Csupo for Nickelodeon, while it does not currently air there, it can currently be seen on Nicktoons Network. Episode directors included Michael Daedalus Kenny, Dave Fontana, Ron Noble, and Steve Ressel.

Ocean Shores, the city the show takes place in, is loosely based on the real Californian City of Santa Monica. There is a city called Ocean Shores and Ocean Shores, New South Wales, Australia, but it is in the state of Washington, not California or Australia. Some hints include the "Incline," similar to the California Incline in Santa Monica, the City's skyline and the pier, similar to the Santa Monica Pier.

The animators sometimes showed odd goings-on in the distant background. In one such scene, a UFO picking up a whale from the sea.
