'''''TaleSpin''''' is an American [[animated television series]] produced by [[Disney Television Animation|Walt Disney Television Animation]]. It first aired in 1990 as a preview-run on [[Disney Channel|The Disney Channel]] before beginning its main run in [[Broadcast syndication|syndication]] later that year as part of the programming block [[The Disney Afternoon]]. It features anthropomorphized versions of characters adapted from [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney's]] 1967 animated feature ''[[The Jungle Book (1967 film)|The Jungle Book]]'', which was theatrically re-released in the summer before this show premiered in the fall,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=junglebook90.htm |title=The Jungle Book (re-issue) (1990) |publisher=Box Office Mojo |date=1990-09-04 |access-date=2013-02-08 |archive-date=2018-11-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181130131312/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=junglebook90.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> 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 "[[Spin (aerodynamics)|tailspin]]", the rapid descent of an aircraft in a steep spiral, and on the fact that ''tale'' is another word for "story".<ref>{{cite magazine|title= TaleSpin|magazine= Entertainment Weekly|date= 1990-09-07|url= https://ew.com/article/1990/09/07/tale-spin/|access-date= 2010-10-19|archive-date= 2014-10-23|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20141023011125/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20268084,00.html|url-status= live}}</ref> 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 (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'', ''[[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (TV series)|Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers]]'', ''[[Goof Troop]]'', ''[[Bonkers (American TV series)|Bonkers]]'', ''[[Quack Pack]]'', ''[[Aladdin (animated TV series)|Aladdin]]'', and ''[[Timon & Pumbaa (TV series)|Timon & Pumbaa]]''. It is also one of two animated television series based on the book ''[[The Jungle Book]]'', the second being ''[[Jungle Cubs]]''.

==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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Production_information/147.html%26nump%3D1338 |title=Four production teams for TaleSpin |publisher=Animationsource.org |access-date=2010-06-03 |archive-date=2011-07-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110702004646/http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Production_information/147.html%26nump%3D1338 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

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 (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Cronin |first=Brian |url=https://www.cbr.com/ducktales-talespin-launchpad-mcquack/ |title=Was TaleSpin Originally Going to Star Launchpad McQuack? |publisher=CBR |date=2018-03-04 |access-date=2020-04-23 |archive-date=2023-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114055837/https://www.cbr.com/ducktales-talespin-launchpad-mcquack/ |url-status=live }}</ref> 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 (film)|Casablanca]]'', where they inserted the character of [[King Louie|Louie]] in place of Rick. The decision to add [[Shere Khan]] to the cast was not made until later in the show's development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Why_The_Jungle_Book/157.html&nump=1338 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120530190940/http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Why_The_Jungle_Book/157.html&nump=1338 |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 30, 2012 |title=TaleSpin and The Jungle Book |publisher=Animationsource.org |access-date=2010-06-03}}</ref> 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''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Porco_Rosso_likeliness/232.html%26nump%3D1338 |title=TaleSpin and Porco Rosso |publisher=Animationsource.org |access-date=2010-06-03 |archive-date=2010-09-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100903011856/http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Porco_Rosso_likeliness/232.html%26nump%3D1338 |url-status=dead}}</ref> [[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, California|Palm Springs]] for each recording session. His work was discarded and [[Ed Gilbert (actor)|Ed Gilbert]] took over the role for the rest of the series.<ref>[http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/questions/%26numg=158 Voice actor decisions – Baloo and Kit] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004235146/http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/questions/%26numg=158 |date=2013-10-04}} [[Jymn Magon]], co-creator of ''TaleSpin'' who initially cast Harris for the role of Baloo: "his age was a factor. He didn't have the slick, con man timing anymore. I loved working with Phil, so I was distraught to inform management that he just wasn't going to work out for 65 episodes. (Besides, we had to chauffeur him to and from Palm Springs for the recording sessions – a 4 hour round trip!!)"</ref>

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]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Weagle |first=Gregory |url=http://cloudkicker.50webs.com/Info/tscrew.htm |title=TaleSpin Crew |publisher=Cloudkicker.50webs.com |access-date=2013-02-08 |archive-date=2012-03-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120313032435/http://cloudkicker.50webs.com/Info/tscrew.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

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 [[Myocardial infarction|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.

''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 (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'', and ''[[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (TV series)|Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers]]''.<ref>"Block Party: Four Disney Animated Series".

Throughout its broadcast history, the series has been subjected to numerous edits.<ref>{{cite web |last=Weagle |first=Gregory |url=http://cloudkicker.50webs.com/Editorials/tsedits.htm |title=TaleSpin Edits |publisher=Cloudkicker.50webs.com |access-date=2014-07-31 |archive-date=2013-10-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020211002/http://cloudkicker.50webs.com/Editorials/tsedits.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

==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 warfare|anti-aircraft artillery]], preventing flying rabble-rousers or air pirates from entering the city. The characters in the world of ''TaleSpin'' are [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic animal]]s, though normal wild and domestic 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 "[[World War I|The Great War]] ended 20 years ago",<ref>{{cite episode|title=Bygones|series=TaleSpin|airdate=1991-05-03|season=1|number=64}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite episode|title=The Incredible Shrinking Molly|series=TaleSpin|airdate=1991-04-08|season=1|number=63}}</ref>

The series centers on the adventures of [[Bush flying|bush pilot]] Baloo the bear, whose air cargo freight business "Baloo's Air Service" is taken up by [[List of TaleSpin characters#Rebecca Cunningham|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 cub [[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 [[List of fictional aircraft|Conwing L-16]] (a fictitious [[Twin-boom aircraft|twin-boom]] cargo plane using elements from the Fairchild [[C-82 Packet|C-82]] transport, Grumman [[G-21 Goose]] amphibian, and a Consolidated [[PBY-3]]) named the ''Sea Duck''.{{original research inline|date=August 2022}} 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 inline|date=August 2022}}

Their adventures often involve encounters with a gang of [[air pirate]]s led by [[Don Karnage]], as well as with representatives of Thembria, inhabited by anthropomorphic [[Wild boar|boars]], or other, often even stranger obstacles. There is no equivalent of the [[Nazi Party|Nazis]] in the series, although one story in ''[[Disney Adventures|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.<ref>Gray, Doug (w), Lavoradori, Alberto (p,i). "The Dogs of War!" ''[[Disney Adventures]]'' v2 #1 (November 1991), [[The Walt Disney Company]], Story code: KZ 4590</ref>

According to Jymn Magon (co-creator of the series), the relationship between Baloo and Rebecca was fashioned after [[Sam Malone]] and [[Rebecca Howe]] from the then-popular sitcom ''[[Cheers]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Does_Baloo_have_feelings_for_Rebecca/149.html%26nump%3D1338 |title=Question about the relationship between Baloo & Becky to Jymn Magon |publisher=Animationsource.org |access-date=2010-06-03 |archive-date=2016-07-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160728234829/http://www.animationsource.org/talespin/en/custom_questions/Does_Baloo_have_feelings_for_Rebecca/149.html%26nump%3D1338 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Some{{Who|date=March 2025}} have suggested that their relationship bears a similarity to the [[screwball comedy film]]s of the Great Depression, such as Godfrey and Irene in ''[[My Man Godfrey]]''.

In 2012, 63 Hindi dubbed episodes out of the total 65 episodes were released by Disney India on 21 DVD volumes in PAL format.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hemantonline.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=TaleSpin |title=TaleSpin Hindi DVDs |access-date=2019-03-10 |archive-date=2021-03-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210307224009/https://www.hemantonline.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=TaleSpin |url-status=live }}</ref> These discs support DVD Region 2, Region 4 and Region 5, but due to limited number of copies, they quickly went out of stock.

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".<ref>{{Disney+ series}}</ref>

==Reception==
In 2009, [[IGN]] listed ''TaleSpin'' as the 81st best animated series in its list of the Top 100 Animated TV Shows.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/top/animated-tv-series/81.html |title=IGN – 81.

==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 (publishing)|Disney Comics]] line in 1991, running for eleven issues, including a four-issue [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] called "Take Off" based on the series premiere episode ''Plunder & Lightning'', which was published between January and April,<ref>Weiss, 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.<ref name="d-zine1"/>

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. [[TaleSpin (Capcom)|One game]] was a scrolling [[Shooter game|shooting game]] published by [[Capcom]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Game Boy]]. [[TaleSpin (video game)|The other two]] were [[platform game]]s; one developed by [[Sega]] for the [[Sega Genesis|Genesis]] and [[Game Gear]], and the other by [[NEC]] for the [[TurboGrafx-16]].<ref>{{cite news|title= Fans Of Talespin Cartoons Can Look Forward To More Fun|work= Chicago Tribune|date= 1992-01-10|url= https://www.chicagotribune.com/1992/01/10/fans-of-talespin-cartoons-can-look-forward-to-more-fun/|access-date= 2010-10-19|archive-date= 2016-10-08|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20161008163607/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1992-01-10/entertainment/9201030584_1_video-games-baloo-nintendo|url-status= live}}</ref> 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.<ref name="War Thunder"/>

This became a game mode for ''War Thunder'' again from March 10–30, 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |title=[Event] The "TailSpin" is back! |url=https://warthunder.com/en/news/7582/current/ |access-date=2022-03-09 |archive-date=2022-03-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220309164441/https://warthunder.com/en/news/7582/current/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

====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 (film)|Flash Gordon]]'' or ''[[Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar]]''.

* ''[[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 Hackwrench|Gadget]] and [[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (TV series)#Characters|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.
