    Edit
    • Trivia
      Originally, the role of Baloo was supposed to go to Phil Harris, who had voiced the character in The Jungle Book (1967). However, during the first recording session, it was found that Harris, who was by then eighty-five-years-old, had aged to the point where he could no longer do the voice successfully, and the role was performed by veteran voice actor Ed Gilbert instead.
    • Goofs
      On some episodes, the front door to Hire for Higher opens the opposite way the front door normally opens.
    • Quotes

      Baloo: If it's got wings I can fly it! Sometimes even if it doesn't.

    • Alternate versions
      In the original two hour pilot "Plunder & Lightning",there was a song where Rebecca sang a lullaby to Molly while Kit listened in. It was most likely edited out due to time restraints when it divided into a four part episode for syndication.

    "TaleSpin" is great and now it's on DVD!!!!!
    "Spin it!"

    The 90s opened up with a clever Disney favorite, "TaleSpin," the TV cartoon series that featured characters from "The Jungle Book." Join Baloo and Kit Cloudkicker as they fly the Sea Duck like you've never seen it before: out of Cape Suzette, to Louie's, up mountains, through jungles, on water, in volcanoes, looking for adventure, looking for treasure, looking for fun, all in one action-packed cartoon adventure!!!!!

    This was a favorite of mine as well as my family's. This ran on The Disney Afternoon the entire first half of the 90s until the original cartoons moved to the Old Disney Channel in 1995, which I have seen on vacation once in 1996 before getting cable in March 1997.

    And good news: today the DVDs are here!!!!! Relive the fun and excitement of "Dun, dun, dun, TaleSpin!!!!!"
