TaleSpin is an American animated television series based in the fictional city of Cape Suzette. It first aired in 1990 as part of The Disney Afternoon starring characters from Disney's1967 animated feature The Jungle Book. The name of the show is a play on 'tailspin': the rapid, commonly fatal descent of an aircraft in a steep spiral. The two words in the show's name, tale and spin are a way to describe telling a story. The show is one of the nine Disney Afternoon shows to use established Disney characters as the main characters, with the others being Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Bonkers, Quack Pack, Aladdin, and Timon & Pumbaa.
Background
After a preview of The Disney Afternoon that aired on the Disney Channel in May 1990, the series began its run in September of the same year. The original concept was embodied in the introductory television movie Plunder and Lightning which was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (Prime Time for Programming One Hour or More) in 1991 and was later re-edited into four half-hour episodes for reruns. The show was often seen either on its own as a half-hour show, or as part of the two-hour syndicated series The Disney Afternoon. TaleSpin ended on its 65th episode which ran in 1991, later nominated for another Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (Entire Series) in the same year. However, reruns continued to be shown on the Disney Afternoon through 1994. Afterwards, it was moved to the Disney Channel and later to Toon Disney.
Several of the characters are loosely based on characters from Disney's animated film version of The Jungle Book: in particular Baloo, the hot-shot pilot hero of the series; Louie, the owner of Baloo's favorite bar; and Shere Khan, a business tycoon who appears in many episodes. Kit seems to be a stand-in for Mowgli, since Baloo calls him by the same nicknames his Jungle Book counterpart called Mowgli, like 'Little Britches' and 'Baby Bear'.
Also, many of the series concepts seem to be based on the 1982ABC series Tales of the Gold Monkey, including the main concept of a cocky flying boat cargo pilot and his rocky relationship with his girlfriend, his scatterbrained mechanic sidekick, the era, and designs of the aircraft and costumes, the Pacific Islands setting, the secondary character relationships, even the visual appearance of the lagoon. Also, the protagonists of both series fly planes named for waterfowl (Cutter's Goose and Sea Duck) and are regular denizens of taverns named 'Louie's.'
There are also many similarities to Hayao Miyazaki's film Porco Rosso about an anthropomorphic pig who flies a seaplane and fights air pirates. While the film was released in 1992 (two years after TaleSpin had already aired) Porco Rosso is based on Miyazaki's manga, Hikōtei Jidai which was first published in 1989.
The series was largely developed by writers Jymn Magon and Mark Zaslove, who were also the Supervising Producers on the series as well as Story Editors. There were four production teams, each one headed by a Producer/Director: Robert Taylor, Larry Latham, Jamie Mitchell, and Ed Ghertner.
Synopsis
- Main article: TaleSpin episode list
TaleSpin is set in the fictional city - state of Cape Suzette (a pun on the pancake dish, Crêpe Suzette), a harbor town protected by giant cliffs through which only a small opening exists. The opening in the cliffs is guarded by anti-aircraft artillery, preventing flying rabblerousers or air pirates from entering the city. Characters in the world of TaleSpin are anthropomorphic animals. The timeframe of the series is never specifically addressed, but appears to be in the mid to late 1930's, probably the year 1937; the helicopter and jet engine are experimental devices and most architecture is reminiscent of the art deco style of that period. World War I ended 'nearly 20 years ago', and radio is the primary mass medium (In one episode, the local station is identified as 'K-CAPE'). Also, in one episode the characters talk about the newly invented jet-motor and the possibility of flying faster than the speed of sound.
The series centered on the adventures of bush pilot Baloo the bear, whose failing air cargo freight business is bought out by Rebecca Cunningham, and renamed 'Higher for Hire'. An orphan boy and former Air Pirate, the ambitious Kit Cloudkicker, attaches to Baloo and becomes his navigator. He sometimes calls him 'Papa Bear'. Together, they are the crew of Higher for Hire's only aircraft, a modified Conwing L-16 named the Sea Duck. From there, the series follows the ups and downs of Higher for Hire and its staff, sometimes in the vein of old action-adventure film serials of the 1930s and '40s like Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Their adventures often involve encounters with a gang of Air Pirates led by Don Karnage, representatives of Thembria, which is a parody of the Stalinist Soviet Union inhabited by anthropomorphic warthogs, or other, often even stranger obstacles.
The relationship between Baloo and Rebecca owes something to the screwball comedy films of the 1930's. It's even more closely patterned after the later years of the television sitcom Cheers—in both shows, a buttoned-down businesswoman named Rebecca takes the reins of a struggling company, then hires its previous owner (a fun-loving but irresponsible slacker) to do most of the work for her.
A video game by Capcom was also released on the NES and Game Boy. Sega produced a different version for the Sega Genesis and Sega Game Gear. A third incarnation was produced by Hudson Soft for the TurboGrafx-16.
Famed Uncle Scrooge comic writer and artist Don Rosa contributed with episode 5, 'I Only Have Ice for You' and episode 9, 'It Came From Beneath the Sea Duck'.

Controversy
Banned episodes
Two episodes of TaleSpin drew varied amounts of controversy, enough for one episode to be temporarily banned and the other to be permanently banned.
The first of these, the episode 'Last Horizons', was temporarily banned and taken off the air. Investigation of the event has since revealed that the reason for its temporary removal was the alleged stereotyping of Asians. The villain in the episode is an anthropomorphic panda Emperor named Wan Lo (voiced by actor Robert Ito) living in a mock-pre-WWII Asian nation called 'Panda-La', who takes Baloo into his country to exploit his naiveté and attacks Cape Suzette. There is a reference how their lust for conquest is not shared by all of their species with 'Good Pandas especially dislike us.'
The fictitious nation may have been a take on Japan, which attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. That incident ushered America's entry into the Second World War.
The second episode, 'Flying Dupes' (coincidentally the last of the series) was aired for the first time on August 8, 1992 and immediately pulled from the lineup, not to be seen again for over a decade. It aired once on Toon Disney, possibly by mistake, and has never been re-broadcast since. Considered by Disney to be a banned episode, the apparent reason for this episode's permanent removal from the airwaves is the terrorist theme associated with it. Despite this ban, the episode was aired repeatedly by independent stations, including Seattle-based KSTW-TV and Family Channel in Canada. The two banned episodes are also aired on German TV (dubbed) whenever the series is broadcast.
The general synopsis of the episode begins with Baloo being asked to deliver a goodwill present (a cuckoo clock, he is told) to the High Marshall of Thembria from Cape Suzette. Baloo is unaware until the end of the episode that the package actually contains a time bomb planted by munitions manufacturers who wish to provoke a war between Thembria and Cape Suzette in order to boost weapons sales. It's also possible the 9/11 attacks contributed to the permanent ban.
Voice impersonation
Another controversy related to TaleSpin involved the character Louie. In 2001, the widow of Louis Prima, who had voiced the scat singing orangutan in The Jungle Book, filed suit against Disney for 'breach of contract, non-payment of royalties, unjust enrichment, fraud and negligent misrepresentation'. At issue were back royalties owed for profits made from video and DVD sales of The Jungle Book and unauthorized use of her husband's voice and its likeness in shows like TaleSpin (Jim Cummings' impersonation of Prima's voice was near-perfect).
Although the case was eventually settled out of court, Disney has since chosen to avoid any further trouble and has refrained from using the character in anything else. It was due to this lawsuit that Louie was conspicuously absent from The Jungle Book 2 (2003); he is the only major Jungle Book character to not appear in the 2003 film. Additionally, an episode of House of Mouse included a similar-looking character referred to as Louie's twin brother, King Larry.
Comics
- Main article: TaleSpin (comic book)
A monthly comic book based on the show was published by Disney Comics in 1991, running for seven issues (eleven, counting a four-issue mini-series based on the series premiere). Bobby JG Weiss was the writer for issues 1-4 and 6-7. As issue 5 was adapted from the episode 41, 'The Old Man and the Sea Duck', Weiss only is credited for adaptation.
The comic's cancellation seven months later terminated several planned stories that would have revealed pieces of background for the main characters. Issue 7 explored Kit's past, and how he joined up with the pirates. According to the letter page in #3, a planned story for the comic's annual would have explored the origin of the Iron Vulture. #4-7 would have letters 'answered' by the characters.
Subsequent comic stories were also printed in Disney Adventures from 1990 to 1995, one of which was notably reprinted in the Summer 2006 issue of Disney Adventures Comic Zone Magazine. Two new stories also appeared in The Disney Afternoon comic book published by Marvel Comics.

Trivia
- Pat Fraley and Ed Gilbert also worked together on unrelated TV shows such as Centurions: Power Xtreme and BraveStarr.
- R.J. Williams and Ed Gilbert also worked together on the unrelated TV show Kissyfur.
- Animating the flying sequences for the Sea Duck, along with the Pirate Fighters and several other planes seen in the show, was done with computer animation. However, certain sequences were also done with hand drawn animation. In comparison with the computer animation, the hand drawn animation sequences were heavily out of perspective, resulting in a dozen errors that were seen in the show.
- Even though TaleSpin was replaced by Aladdin in the Disney Afternoon in 1994, its characters Baloo and Louie still appeared in Mickey's Starland Show which ran until 1996.
- The youngest known male voice is Whitby Hertford, who played the voice of Ernie (8 years old).
- Jim Cummings did the most male voices for TaleSpin with nearly 40 different voices overall.
- Donald Duck Comics writer Don Rosa wrote two episodes for TaleSpin: 'I Only Have Ice For You' and 'It Came From Beneath the SeaDuck'.
- There were a total of five directors in TaleSpin.
- TaleSpin was Disney's only TV series to hire an Eastern European writer (Martin Donoff).
- There were a total of just seven story editors for the entire TaleSpin series.
- Jim Cummings is the only voice who plays the role of two of the main characters in TaleSpin. (Don Karnage and Louie).
- TaleSpin was partially based on the 1980s TV series 'Tales Of The Golden Monkey' with Stephen Collins, the dad from '7th Heaven'.
- The series was set in the harbour town of Cape Suzette, a take off on the pancake dish 'crêpe suzette'.
- Cape Suzette was referenced in the 2017 DuckTales episode 'Woo-oo!', suggesting that the setting of TaleSpin may be part of a shared universe, at least in the reboot timeline.

Discussions about TaleSpin
Molly Cunningham & Oscar Vandersnoot intergrated together forever.
- They're both had the same age of 6, & the same hieght. They'd should be friendly with each other.
Did Baloo Ever Adopted Kit Cloudkicker?
- Hi, I hope this is not my obsession, but after re-watching Talespin on dvds, I kind of wonder if Baloo ever adopted Kit Cloudkicker. I mean, ...
- Well to be honest. I think Kit should halved been a son to Rebecca and Baloo, and a brother to Molly.

TaleSpin is an American animated television series based in the fictional city of Cape Suzette, that first aired in 1990 as a preview on Disney Channel and later that year as part of The Disney Afternoon, with characters adapted from Disney's 1967 animated feature The Jungle Book (namely, some of the film's animals being given an anthropomorphical makeover while the humans are removed), which was theatrically rereleased in the summer before this show premiered in the fall.[2] The name of the show is a play on 'tailspin', the rapid descent of an aircraft in a steep spiral. The two words in the show's name, tale and spin, are a way to describe telling a story.[3] The show is one of ten Disney Afternoon shows to use established Disney characters as the main characters, with the others being Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Bonkers, Quack Pack, Aladdin, Timon & Pumbaa and Jungle Cubs. It is also one of the two animated television series based on The Jungle Book along with Jungle Cubs.

Background[edit]
Development[edit]
The series was largely developed by writers Jymn Magon and Mark Zaslove, who were also the supervising producers on the series as well as story editors. There were four production teams, each one headed by a producer/director: Robert Taylor, Larry Latham, Jamie Mitchell, and Ed Ghertner.[4]
Initially, Disney simply commissioned Magon and Zaslove with creating a thirty-minute animated program for them, with no requirements as to what the show should be about. Nearing the deadline for a pitch without having come up with anything, Magon hit upon the idea of making the story about Baloo, one of the central characters of Disney's The Jungle Book, which had recently been theatrically rereleased. The pair then decided to have Baloo work for an air delivery service, a concept occasionally featured on Disney's successful DuckTales. In order to add dramatic tension, they decided to maintain the impressionable son / bad father dynamic which had driven part of the plot of The Jungle Book, replacing the human Mowgli with the anthropomorphic bear Kit. Inspired by Cheers — then one of the most popular programs on television — Magon and Zaslove created the character Rebecca, basing her on the character Rebecca Howe and giving her that character's arc of being an intelligent and headstrong yet inexperienced manager put in charge of a fledgling business. Deciding to make the show a period piece, the pair lastly decided to make one of the show's primary locations a neutral zone inspired by Rick Blaine's bar in Casablanca, where they inserted the character of Louie in place of Rick. The decision to add Shere Khan to the cast was not made until later in the show's development.[5] Magon and Zaslove also took inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki's 1989 manga Hikōtei Jidai, about a pigheaded man who flies a seaplane and fights air pirates. Two years after TaleSpin premiered, Miyazaki released an anime adaptation called Porco Rosso, which Zaslove felt took cues from TaleSpin.[6]
Famed Uncle Scrooge comic writer and artist Don Rosa wrote episode 6, 'It Came from Beneath the Sea Duck', and episode 9, 'I Only Have Ice for You'.
The series was animated by Walt Disney Animation (Japan) Inc., Hanho Heung-Up Co., Ltd., Jade Animation, Tama Productions, Walt Disney Animation (France) S.A., Sunwoo Entertainment, and Wang Film Productions.
Broadcast[edit]
After a preview of TaleSpin aired on The Disney Channel from May 5 to July 15, 1990,[7][8] the series began its syndicated run in September of the same year. The original concept was embodied in the pilot episode and introductory television moviePlunder & Lightning which was the sole nominee for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming More Than One Hour) in 1991.[9][10][11][12] After its premiere on September 7, 1990,[13]Plunder & Lightning was re-edited into four half-hour episodes for reruns. The show was often seen either on its own as a half-hour show, or as part of the two-hour syndicated programming block The Disney Afternoon. TaleSpin ended on its 65th episode which aired on August 8, 1991. However, reruns continued to be shown on The Disney Afternoon until September 1994. On October 2, 1995, TaleSpin began reruns on The Disney Channel as part of a two-hour programming block called 'Block Party' which aired on weekdays in the late-afternoon/early-evening and which also included Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.[14] Later, the show was aired on Toon Disney, where it was first aired from April 1998 until January 2006 (with a hiatus between 2001 and 2002) and later from January 2007 until May 2008. Throughout its broadcast history, the series has been subjected to numerous edits.[15]
Synopsis[edit]
TaleSpin is set in the city of Cape Suzette (a pun on the dish Crêpe Suzette), in a country called Usland. The city lies in a harbor protected by an enormous natural cliff wall. A single cleft in the wall is the harbor's only means of access. The cleft is guarded by anti-aircraft artillery, preventing flying rabble-rousers or air pirates from entering the city. The characters in the world of TaleSpin are anthropomorphic animals (though normal wild animals exist too, but no humans). The time frame of the series is never specifically addressed, but appears to be in the mid-to-late 1930s, possibly in the last stages of the Great Depression. In the show, the helicopter, television and jet engine are experimental devices, and most architecture is reminiscent of the Art Deco style of that period. In one episode, Baloo comments that 'The Great War ended 20 years ago,'[16] thus indicating that the series takes place in or around 1938. Radio is the primary mass medium, and one episode even briefly alludes to the characters having never heard of television.[17]
The series centers on the adventures of bush pilot Baloo the bear, whose air cargo freight business, 'Baloo's Air Service', is poached by Rebecca Cunningham upon his default on delinquent bills with the bank (run by the criminal tiger Shere Khan) and renamed 'Higher for Hire'. An orphan boy and former air pirate, the ambitious GrizzlyKit Cloudkicker, attaches to Baloo and becomes his navigator. He sometimes calls him 'Papa Bear'. Together, they are the crew of Higher for Hire's only aircraft, a 20-year-old modified Conwing L-16 (a fictitious aircraft using elements from the Fairchild C-82 transport, Grumman HU-16 amphibian, and a Consolidated PBY-3.) named the Sea Duck. From there, the series follows the ups and downs of Higher for Hire and its staff, sometimes in the vein of old action-adventure film serials of the 1930s and 1940s, like the Tailspin Tommy movies, and contemporary variations, such as Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Their adventures often involve encounters with a gang of air pirates led by Don Karnage, as well as with representatives of Thembria (a parody of the StalinistSoviet Union inhabited by anthropomorphic Warthogs), or other, often even stranger obstacles. In deference to contemporary sensitivities, there is no equivalent of the Nazis in the series, although one story in Disney Adventures Magazine, 'The Dogs of War!', had the heroes encounter members of the 'Houn' nationality, a menacing militaristic nationality of dogs from 'Hounsland' who wear uniforms that are clearly based on German ones and who speak in a mock-German accent.[18]
The relationship between Baloo and Rebecca owes something to the screwball comedy films of the 1930s. More precisely, according to Jymn Magon (co-creator of the series), the two characters were fashioned after Sam Malone and Rebecca Howe from the then-popular sitcom Cheers.[19]

Video on demand[edit]
The entire series is currently available for purchase in SD on Amazon Instant Video and iTunes in the United States.
Reception[edit]
IGN listed TaleSpin as the 81st best cartoon in the Top 100 Animated TV Shows.[31]
Outsourced production work[edit]
The following is a list of companies based outside of the United States that helped to produce the animation for the series:[32]
- Walt Disney Animation U.K.
- Jade Animation, Inc.
- Pacific Rim Animation Productions
- TamaPro, Inc.
Comics[edit]
A monthly comic book based on the show was published by the Disney subsidiary W. D. Publications, Inc. as part of their Disney Comics line in 1991, running for eleven issues, including a four-issue limited series called 'Take Off' based on the series premiere episode Plunder & Lightning, which was published between January and April,[33][34][35][36] followed by a series of seven regular issues published between June and December.[37] Bobbi J.G. Weiss was the writer for regular issues 1–4 and 6–7, while 'Take Off' was adapted from Plunder & Lightning and regular issue 5 was adapted from episode 35, 'The Old Man and the Sea Duck,' for both of which Weiss is credited for adaptation.[37]
The comic's cancellation at the end of 1991 terminated several planned stories that would have revealed pieces of background for the main characters. This one seems to be an exception though: Issue 7, 'The Long Flight Home,' explored Kit's past, and how he joined up with the pirates. According to the letter page in #3, a planned story for the comic's annual would have explored the origin of the Iron Vulture. In addition, #4–7 would have letters 'answered' by the characters. A collected edition called Disney's Cartoon Tales featuring TaleSpin came out in 1991 (ISBN1-56115-269-2). It reprints #4 and 6 from the regular comic book series. Subsequent comic stories were also printed in Disney Adventures from 1990 to 1995, and then re-appeared in the Summer 2006 issue of Disney Adventures Comic Zone Magazine, as well as in The Disney Afternoon comic book published by Marvel Comics.
Although issue #8 of the monthly comic series never made it to print, the end of issue #7 included a preview for it: 'Spies in Cape Suzette?! There are some mighty mysterious folk sniffing around Shere Khan Industries. When Special Agent Booker shows up to handle the problem he finds that battling foreign agents is easier than dealing with Baloo as an assistant in... THE SPY WHO BUGGED ME!'[38]
Video games[edit]
Three different TaleSpin video games were produced. One was a scrolling shooting game published by Capcom for the NES and Game Boy. The other two were platform games, one developed by Sega for the Sega Genesis and Game Gear, and the other developed by NEC for the TurboGrafx-16.[39] Rebbeca, Kit, Baloo, Don Karnage and Shere Khan from Talespin also appeared in the Cards, for 1993's Puzzle game Mickey's Memory Challenge, released for Amiga and DOS, developed by Infogrames.
Cameos[edit]
- Darkwing Duck (1991–1992): In the episode 'Film Flam', the front of Darkwing Duck's uniform is ripped open, revealing the TaleSpin logo on the shirt he wears underneath.[40]
- Raw Toonage (1992): In the episode 'Sheerluck Bonkers / All Potato Network / The Puck Stops Here', Don Karnage hosts the episode, teaches how to look for treasure, finds a lunchbox with a picture of Baloo on it, and sword fights with Captain Hook.[41]
- Bonkers (1993–1994): In the episode 'Of Mice and Menace', Shere Khan appears in a mugshot.[42]
- Aladdin (1994–1995): In the episode 'When Chaos Comes Calling', there is a scene where the Genie transforms into a figure resembling and dressed like Baloo and is flying the Sea Duck, while Iago is dressed like Grizzly Kit Cloudkicker, Jasmine is wearing the clothing and hairstyle of Rebecca Cunningham, and Abu is dressed like Louie.[43][44][45]
- Robot Chicken (2014): In the episode 'Batman Forever 21', Baloo is seen in the jungle with Mowgli and Bagheera, when he has dreams of his former life as a bush pilot.
- Pickle and Peanut (2016): The episode '90's Adventure Bear' parodies TaleSpin with the title character being a stand-in for Baloo that leads a team consisting of characters based on King Louie and Kit as well as fellow Disney Afternoon characters Gadget and Zipper. An over-the-hill star of a long-ended show, 90's Adventure Bear has become bitter in his retirement and laments the show's lack of a DVD release, reflecting the incomplete status of many Disney Afternoon DVD releases.
- DuckTales (2017): In the premiere episode 'Woo-oo', Dewey mentions Cape Suzette while trying to take Donald's boat for a joyride, implying characters from TaleSpin exist in the same world; a newspaper in the episode also references air pirates.[46] Don Karnage makes an appearance in the episode 'Sky Pirates...In the Sky!', voiced by Jaime Camil instead of Jim Cummings.[47]
Award[edit]
- Emmy Award
- 1991 – Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming More Than One Hour) – Jymn Magon, Larry Latham, Robert Taylor, Mark Zaslove, Alan Burnett, and Len Uhley for Plunder & Lightning (Juried award; did not receive enough votes to win).[9][48][49]
