TaleSpin

TaleSpin is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. The series reimagines characters from Disney's 1967 film The Jungle Book in an aviation-themed setting. The premise centers on laid-back pilot Baloo and his ambitious young navigator Kit Cloudkicker, who fly deliveries for Rebecca Cunningham's small cargo business Higher for Hire, using their seaplane the Sea Duck. They operate from the fortified coastal city of Cape Suzette while contending with air pirates, corrupt businessmen, and exotic locales. The series premiered as a preview-run on The Disney Channel in 1990 before entering syndication as part of The Disney Afternoon programming block later that year. 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 Disney animated television series based on Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, the second being Jungle Cubs.
