TaleSpin is an American animated television series first aired in 1990 as a preview on Disney Channel and later that year as part of The Disney Afternoon . It features anthropomorphized versions of characters adapted from Disney's 1967 animated feature The Jungle Book , which was theatrically rereleased in the summer before this show premiered in the fall, [2] notably Baloo the Bear, Louie the orangutan, and Shere Khan the tiger, along with new characters created for the show. The name of the show is a play on "tailspin", the rapid descent of an aircraft in a steep spiral, and on the fact that tale is another word for "story". [3] The show is one of nine Disney Afternoon shows to use established Disney characters as the main characters, with the other eight being Darkwing Duck , DuckTales , Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers , Goof Troop , Bonkers , Quack Pack , Aladdin , and Timon & Pumbaa . It is also one of two animated television series based on the book The Jungle Book , the second being Jungle Cubs .

A reboot of the series from Point Grey Pictures is in development for Disney+ [4]

Background

Development

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. [5]

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 show Tales of the Gold Monkey was an inspiration according to creator/supervising producer, Jymn Magon. Similar to the main character in that show, they decided to have Baloo work for an air cargo delivery service, a concept also occasionally featured on Disney's successful DuckTales . [6] 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 (voiced by actress Sally Struthers), 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. [7] 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. [8] Phil Harris, who voiced Baloo for the film, was initially hired to reprise the role; at age 85, however, Harris had lost some of his comic timing and had to be chauffeured from his home in Palm Springs for each recording session. His work was discarded and Ed Gilbert took over the role for the rest of the series. [9]

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. [10]

Gilbert would continue to voice Baloo in other Disney projects, commercials, promos, miscellaneous, until his death.

Harris, who continued to do occasional voice acting until 1991, died of a heart attack on August 11, 1995, five years after TaleSpin premiered. Three years later, in August 1998, Gilbert fell ill from lung cancer and never recovered, and died on May 8, 1999, nine years after TaleSpin premiered.

Broadcast

After a preview of TaleSpin aired on The Disney Channel from May 5 to July 15, 1990, [11] [12] the series began its syndicated run in September of the same year. The original concept was embodied in the pilot episode and introductory television movie Plunder & Lightning which was the sole nominee for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming More Than One Hour) in 1991. [13] [14] [15] [16] After its premiere on September 7, 1990, [17] 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, but 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 . [18] 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. [19]

Synopsis

TaleSpin is set in the fictional city of Cape Suzette (a pun on the dish Crêpe Suzette). The city lies on an unnamed island, in an unspecified body of water, on a large harbor or bay enclosed by a high 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 as well. The time frame of the series is never specifically addressed, but the helicopter, television, and jet engine are experimental devices. In the episode "Bygones", Baloo comments that "The Great War ended 20 years ago", [20] thus suggesting that the series takes place around 1938. Radio is the primary mass medium and the episode "The Incredible Shrinking Molly" briefly alludes to the characters having never heard of television. [21]

The series centers on the adventures of bush pilot, Baloo the bear, whose air cargo freight business "Baloo's Air Service" is taken up by Rebecca Cunningham who has a young daughter named Molly. Upon his default on delinquent bills with the bank and his perceived irresponsibility in running a business by Rebecca, she takes over the business and renames it "Higher for Hire", making her Baloo's boss. An orphan boy and former air pirate, the ambitious grizzly bear Kit Cloudkicker, attaches to Baloo and becomes his navigator. He sometimes calls Baloo "Papa Bear". Together, they are the crew of Higher for Hire's only aircraft, a 20-year-old modified Conwing L-16 (a fictitious twin-boom cargo plane using elements from the Fairchild C-82 transport, Grumman G-21 Goose amphibian, and a Consolidated PBY-3) named the Sea Duck.[ original research? ] 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 films, and contemporary variations, such as Raiders of the Lost Ark .[ original research? ]

Their adventures often involve encounters with a gang of air pirates led by Don Karnage, as well as with representatives of Thembria, inhabited by anthropomorphic boars), or other, often even stranger obstacles. 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 based on German ones and who speak in a mock-German accent. [22]

The relationship between Baloo and Rebecca owes something to the screwball comedy films of the Great Depression. 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 . [23]

India

In India, TaleSpin was dubbed in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu for TV broadcast in the 90s along with DuckTales . In 2012, 63 Hindi dubbed episodes out of the total 65 episodes were released by Disney India on 21 DVD volumes in PAL format. [34] These discs support DVD Region 2, Region 4 and Region 5, but due to limited number of copies, they quickly went out of stock. Each DVD contained only 3 episodes.

Video on demand

The entire series is currently available for purchase in standard definition on Amazon Prime Video and the iTunes Store in the United States.

As of November 12, 2019, the series is available to stream on Disney+, with the exception of the banned episodes "Last Horizons" and "Flying Dupes". [35]

Reception

IGN listed TaleSpin as the 81st best cartoon in the Top 100 Animated TV Shows. [36]

Comics

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, [37] [38] [39] [40] followed by a series of seven regular issues published between June and December. [41] 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. [41]

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 ( ISBN   1-56115-269-2). 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!"

Video games

Three different TaleSpin video games were produced. One game 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 Genesis and Game Gear, and the other by NEC for the TurboGrafx-16. [42] Rebecca, Kit, Baloo, Don Karnage and Shere Khan from Talespin also appeared on cards in the 1993 puzzle game Mickey's Memory Challenge, released for Amiga and MS-DOS compatible operating systems, developed by Infogrames.

TailSpin (War Thunder parody game)

Although not an official TaleSpin game, Gaijin's War Thunder 2021 April Fools' Day event called "TailSpin" is apparently related to or inspired by the show. [43]

This became a game mode for War Thunder again from March 10–30, 2022. [44]

Content

A number of aircraft in the game appear to be inspired by those in the original show. Players start with the "Nimble" biplane seaplane fighter, and progress to more advanced aircraft by shooting down or getting "assists" on shooting down enemy aircraft, until reaching the mighty "Sly Duck" seaplane (which closely resembles the Sea Duck from the show). The game also includes a "Bear" pilot icon resembling Baloo and a "Fox" pilot icon. Every aircraft in the event besides the "Nimble" is from TaleSpin or heavily based on one seen in the show.

Gameplay is air arcade, and players are randomly allocated to a side. Both sides have the same aircraft.

Other content includes:

  • Airship aircraft carriers.
  • Custom muzzle flash, tracer, explosion, fire and smoke effects.
  • A dragged art style combined with a hard gloss on all aircraft which glint when they are in the sun.
  • A floating airborne map reminiscent of Ming the Merciless' cloud empire from Flash Gordon or Avatar .
