In this next related spin-off to The Jungle Book. Baloo the Bear stars in an adventurous comedy of love, fights, situations and exciting adventures with his life along with a new friend named Kit Cloudkicker. The two spend so much time with each other, Kit always calls Baloo his papa bear because he loves him as his father. With that you Rebecca Cunninghams and her daughter Molly Cunninghams who can get involved in many adventures if Baloo screws up a mission or a plan, that makes Becky very mad at him and frustrated at him.

Baloo has a lot of enemies in his life in this series, one of the biggest is actually Don Karnage and his pilots. Whenever Karnage has an evil plan he tries to make sure it works, if it fails he would usually turn on kidnapping someone for hostage. Another main enemy is truly Shere Kahn. He may not be bad at the other episodes of the series, but in the movie The Jungle Book he was the enemy of Baloo.less «

     By the way I'm a 24 year old guy!!!!      Even though DuckTales is one of my favorite cartoons it has neevr made me feel like crying.  TaleSpin is a different experience.  yes it has plenty of adventure and comedy but it also has one thing that DuckTales doesn't capture as nearly as much.  That is emotion.  Yes DuckTales has its warm family moments but TaleSpin takes it farther than that reaching into deeper friendships and the display of deeper emotions.  One really notices this with the bond between baloo and Kit, the potential romantic bond between Baloo and Rebecca, and the mother-daughter bond between Rebecca and Molly.  Now fotr the two episodes that really tugged at my heartstrings...       First it was the very emotional "The Old Man and the Sea Duck".  What made me almost tear up was the ending where Baloo learns that Joe McGee had died many years ago and Baloo says he was his guardian angel.  It was very sweet and a great twist ending.  Also a very emotional farewell with Joe's face in the sky as the Sea Duck flies off into the sunset and Joe says "You're as free as a bird now the sky is your's" or something like that.  It is moments like this that make TaleSpin feel more like a big budget movie by the plot and the thought placed into the episode.  Cartoons today don't come close to matching the emotion and power that TaleSpin had!     Second it was "Her Chance to Dream" in which the ghost of Captain William Stansbury is awakened in the shipwreck below Louie"s.  The relationship between Rebecca and the captain is very sweet.  Indeed he was such a gentleman who loved Rebecca with all his heart regardless of only knowing her for a short time.  This leads to the very sad conclusion where the captain's ghost is painfully sent away in his flying ghost ship by the magic spell finished by Rebecca.  The part where the captain says "I'll wait for you" is realy sad and heartwarming at the same time.            These are two of the strongest episodes of the series due to plot and especially emotion!!!!  It was episodes such as this that made me wish that TaleSpin lasted a lot longer than it did!!!  Has anybody else ever cried or came close to it while watching one of the episodes???      less «

  9.7 Superb

  This was the show I use to run home and watch after school hide « show »

  Talespin was a cartoon that used all the Jungle book characters like Ballo and Louie plus several more new ones and places them into a present day setting. In the cartoon talespin was one of the best cartoons that Disney ever product it had adventure, romance, comedy and the funniest pirate ever to come onto T.V. The episodes are so thought throe some of them might even make you cry and all of the episodes were good (not like some cartoons where you might have 1 bad cartoon for every 5 they came out with)
  
  If you liked DuckTales you will love Tailespin just as much and it is a must have for little kids

  A bear flying a plane, a monkey slinging drinks, an empire run by a ruthless tiger, and a pack of dogs who are fierce air pirates... there is nothing today that can even come close to this! hide « show »

  One of the all time greatest cartoons! Kids today are really cheated with all the special effects and computer junk, it takes so much out of the show because it seems there is no thought put into the story anymore. There were enough different characters that everyone was able to relate to at least one of them really well. A general problem with today's shows is that you have to watch them in order, where as most of the old ones were stand alone eps and you could turn them on whenever and still understand the plot. I have all the eps on my computer in poor quality, I would love to buy the DVD's if they were ever released.

  A well written show with excellent storylines and exciting moments. hide « show »

  Talespin is a show starring "The Jungle Book's" Baloo the bear as a pilot for a cargo company. With his navigator, Kit and his boss, Rebecca Cunningham, they go on exciting adventures flying the Seaduck, Baloo's plane. In some episodes they encounter air pirates, gangsters, unfriendly nations, and much more in this classic show. It's sort of like a new version of the show "Ducktales", another classic from Disney. Each episode of this show is exciting and well-written which makes this one of the greatest shows of the 90s. If only they would bring this awesome show back on the air, though!

  Awesome! hide « show »

  Man, what can I say about this awesome show? I know: FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! This was (and always will be) my favorite Disney cartoon from back in the 90s!!! And to have Disney bring it back to the new generation on DVD, it just gets even better! If you are new and haven't seen the show, I suggest you watch it now!
  
  My vote: 10/10.
