Another Disney adventure cartoon from The Disney Afternoon era, this 1990 series transplants several characters from Disney's adaptation of The Jungle Book into a show about the golden age of seaplane travel, featuring a World of Funny Animals. Essentially an animated Tales of the Gold Monkey - especially as the heroes have Indiana Jones-style adventures and one of the key locations is Louie's, an island bar run by the titular orangutan. Also has elements of a Lighter and Softer Disney version of Crimson Skies (particularly the Air Pirates; see below).Baloo the bear is a seaplane cargo-for-hire operator from the port city of Cape Suzette in a time not unlike the 1930s or The '40s. His twin-engine flying boat, the Sea Duck, is his most prized possession, and he favors his freedom over all else, including paying his bills. When the bank forecloses on his debts, a young entrepreneur/lady bear/single mother named Rebecca Cunningham snaps up his business, his plane, and his home, and opens the "Higher-For-Hire" air cargo service. Rather than abandon his "baby" to her and whatever low-rent pilot she may hire, he stays on, working for the day when he can buy back the Sea Duck and be rid of her.Early on, he picks up a young stowaway, Kit Cloudkicker, who eventually earns the post of Baloo's navigator and sidekick. A daring barnstormer and aspiring pilot, Kit uses a collapsible airfoil to glide behind the Sea Duck on a line, and is responsible for much of the derring-do of the series in contrast to his overweight chum.Outside the odd subtle occasion, there's not a lot of romance between Becky and Baloo: their relationship smacks more of Sibling Rivalry. Baloo, Kit, Becky, and Becky's adorable daughter Molly form a definite sitcom family dynamic, with the practical, strait-laced Becky faced off against her lazy, easygoing, roguish pilot.Allies of the crew include Louie (the orangutan monarch from The Jungle Book) who operates a seaplane truckstop of sorts out in the ocean that is Baloo's favorite hangout; and Wildcat, a seemingly slow-witted mechanic with incredible skills.There are three major antagonists: the Air Pirates, led by Don Karnage, who operate from a giant flying aircraft carrier called the Iron Vulture (and would have long ago plundered Cape Suzette, had it not been for all those big honkin' guns on the nearby cliffs); the country of Thembria, a pseudo-Soviet totalitarian state full of snow and blue warthogs, home to the napoleonic Col. Spigot and his Sergeant Schultz-like sidekick, Sgt. Dunder; and Shere Khan, the most feared predator of The Jungle Book, transformed into a Noble Demon business executive.The series is animated by five different studios: Sunwoo, South-Korea (twenty-five episodes), Walt Disney Japan (twenty-four episodes), Wang, Taiwan (eight episodes), Walt Disney France (six episodes) and Hanho, South-Korea (two episodes).Refer to the Character Sheet for more details.The TaleSpin series is considered, to a point, canon to the DuckTales (2017) series. Don Karnage and his pirates have been recurring villains in every season. As well, Kit and Molly appear in Season 3, both of them older and Kit now the pilot of the Sea Duck.The show's version of Baloo shows up as a playable character in Disney Mirrorverse and Baloo, Kit Cloudkicker, Louie and Thaddeus E. Klang appear as cards in wave 3 of the Lorcana trading card game.

Control Freak: Rebecca plays with this. While she has a rather shrill attitude and frequently manipulates or bullies Baloo and the others into following her schemes, she fails to have much intimidation over them or take much action against their own incompetent or obnoxious habits, leading her to come off more as a bossy friend than a domineering boss.

Abnormal Ammo
 TaleSpin / int_12c65d9b
comment
Abnormal Ammo: The Thembrian air defenses consist of catapults launching bathtubs, pianos, and other random objects, because the paperwork for getting actual ammo for their AA cannons is more of a nightmare than the Thembrian prisons. In part two of "Plunder and Lightning", Baloo escapes an attack by dumping a load of fruit on the air pirates. Similarly, in "Citizen Khan", Kit and Wildcat throw rotten fruit on the corrupt sheriff and his sidekick, causing them to crash. This is pretty much how Baloo always fights back any time the Sea Duck is attacked; he does fly a cargo plane with no guns after all.

Instantly Proven Wrong: In one episode Baloo decides to do the one thing left he wants to do, fly across the Bearmuda Trapezoid. At the end, Rebecca assured him that she knew he'd come back and never doubted him for a moment, right before another pilot comes in asking about the job she had listed for Baloo's replacement.

"In Search of Ancient Blunders" takes this up to eleven. Baloo, Wildcat, and Myra the archaeologist discover the legendary upside down pyramid of King Utmost, but end up leading the Sky Pirates to it. When Myra voices her concern about the pirates, Baloo dismissively says "What are they going to do? Take the whole pyramid?". Just as they find their way out, they see the Iron Vulture above using strong cables to tote the entire pyramid out of the ground.

Not Where They Thought: In "Gruel and Unusual Punishment", Baloo decides to visit a weight loss clinic so he can lose enough weight to escort Rebecca to the Pilot's Ball in a slimming tuxedo. However, due to having mistaken a guacamole stain on the map for the location, he ends up in a Thembrian prison, which he mistakes for the weight loss clinic. Invoked in "A Jolly Molly Christmas"; Baloo gets Louie to disguise his nightclub as Santa's workshop, himself as Santa Claus, and his employees as Santa's elves to trick Molly into thinking she's at the North Pole. For a while, this works, but once Louie's customers end up exposing his ruse, Molly runs out of the club crying.

The Sociopath: Daring Dan Dawson from Stormy Weather. Lack of Empathy? He doesn't care if Kit gets hurt or killed during a stunt, cutting his straps and forcing him out of the plane during the climax and it's not the first time this has happened. Manipultive? Constantly feeds off Kit's ego and forces him to do the climactic stunt by pretending to take him home. Need for stimulation? An aerial daredevil by profession. Grandiose sense of self worth? Doesn't have much respect for non-daredevils, using terms like "little people" or "rubes." Shallow emotions? Painfully sycophantic when Kit threatens to quit.

Rash Promise: Done by Shere Khan in "Save the Tiger" after Baloo saves his life and he promises to repay Baloo's act under his personal code to "Always repay your debts, and never go back on a deal." Unfortunately, Baloo begins milking Khan's generosity for all it's worth and demands all sorts of exorbitant favors from Khan. Khan ends up having to manipulate events to have Baloo kidnapped so he would willingly ask Khan to return things to normal and demand no further favors.

 TaleSpin / int_21f7ff0f
comment
Knight in Sour Armor: Baloo on occasion acts as this. In "My Fair Baloo", for example, he is chastised for acting like a "buffoon" at a high-class ball in the Spruce Moose. Almost immediately following this, he saves the guests from two attempted hijackings, a plane crash and being stranded on an isolated island. He and Rebecca often trade this role with each other. For all they suffer from each other, they will go to great lengths to keep the other safe.

Chekhov's Gun: In "Feminine Air", Rebecca accidentally dropped one of her earrings in the pile of scavenger items. Cool Hands then cheats and steals the items to win the contest. To prove he stole the items from her and Baloo, Rebecca points out to the judge that within the items were a nail file, silk stockings, and finally her missing earring.

Reminder Failure
 TaleSpin / int_24838c33
comment
Reminder Failure: In the episode "Vowel Play", Kit Cloudkicker helps Baloo skywrite the message "Weight until dark" [sic], but remembers only half the spelling mnemonic of I before E except after C. The message appears as "Wieght until dark," which would be the code for "bombard City Hall." Fortunately, Kit remembers the second half of the mnemonic in time: "Or when sounding like A, as in neighbor or weigh." Baloo deftly corrects the fault in time.

Mythology Gag
 TaleSpin / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: In "On a Wing and a Bear", Baloo uses the phrase "Bear Necessities", which calls back to the song of the same name he sung in The Jungle Book. In his first appearance in "Plunder and Lightning Part 1", Baloo sings a song about how great his life is without any resposibilities, which is broadly the same theme as "Bear Necessities". He also dons a makeshift skirt and hat to do so, similar to his disguise when he joins in "I Wanna Be Like You".

Furry Confusion
 TaleSpin / int_27a40541
comment
Furry Confusion: The setting is a World of Funny Animals with all sorts of anthropomorphic species - but the pilot episode shows that regular animals also exist, including seagulls, crocodiles and large flightless "gorilla birds". The most confusing character in this respect is probably Ignatz the parrot from "Polly Wants A Treasure" - he is a parrot who can talk fluently and is just as sapient as the anthropomorphic characters, but is still treated as an animal rather than a person. In "Feminine Air", there is a goat character who behaves relatively normally, except for when he casually takes a bite out of a mattress.

Disappeared Dad: Molly's. Kit's missing both parents. In the comics it explains that Molly's father is deceased and that Rebecca is unfortunately a widow. The show itself leaves Rebecca's status up for the audience to guess. Gets confusing when a woman in the 30's can be a single mom and nobody cares. Not so much to guess as she's call Ms. Cunningham.

Restaurant-Owning Episode: In "Pizza Pie in the Sky", Baloo and Kit decide to turn Louie's nightclub into a pizza air delivery business called Pizza Pie in the Sky. The business gets an order for 200 pizzas, one of which has anchovies. When the irregular anchovies that Baloo and Kit get make Louie sick, Baloo and Kit are left to try and make the pizzas themselves. In the end, it is revealed that the delivery was for the Better Business seminar that Rebecca was attending, and Rebecca was the one who ordered the anchovy pizza. Baloo and Kit make $500.00 from the delivery, but are forced to pay $499.00 worth of fines to the Health Inspector for all the health and safety violations they racked up.

Don Karnage and his Sky Pirates routinely intercept cargo planes, seize control of them via grappling hooks, board the cargo plane in mid-air, and abscond with its goodies. Karnage prefers to leave the pilot alive and the plane functional so that the two can "bring me more treasures and knickety-knacks, yes?" To judge by the pilot episode "Plunder and Lightning," the air pirates are fearsomely good at airborne piracy.

It Will Never Catch On: At the end of "The Incredible Shrinking Molly", the episode's Mad Scientist mentions that he's working on a new medium called "television", and Baloo scoffs at the notion of "Radio with pictures". Curiously, movie serials and newsreels are shown to be a legitimate medium in the show. Said mad scientist may actually be the inventor of Television in their world. However, due to him being a one-off character, it's anyone's guess, especially seeing as the show has long since gone off the air.

However, Shere Khan's elite pilot squad, and the members of his executive board, and most of the law enforcement professionals are all panthers who all look suspiciously like Bagheera.

Refuse to Rescue the Disliked
 TaleSpin / int_39d96ba9
comment
Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: The manipulative Covington from the episode "Molly Coddled" makes an Accidental Public Confession that he's been courting Rebecca solely to gain access to Molly's new doll, which is actually the key to a treasure cave. After dressing Covington down for toying with her, Rebecca and company leave Covington to the mercy of his two accomplices, who have had an ax to grind with Covington since the episode's outset. In "My Fair Baloo", after a snobby dinner party throws out Baloo for rescuing them in a hap hazardous manner they are captured again. Baloo pulls off this trope, but is convinced out of it rather quickly by Rebecca.

Properly Paranoid: In "The Balooest of the Bluebloods," someone is clearly trying to kill Baloo after he's inherited a vast mansion and fortune so he asks Rebecca and Wildcat to spend the night at his place for safety. Rebecca doesn't believe Baloo until she hears his screaming and, intending to give him shit for imagining things, is horrified when she enters the room and finds Baloo pinned to the wall with arrows and about to be impaled.

Broken Aesop: "War of the Weirds" sees Baloo stage a Martian invasion to get out of working. Then along comes Army Intelligence officer Colonel Grogg who thinks the invasion is real. So the gang further trick Grogg by scaring him so badly he runs away, and while he's gone, they dispose of all of the props and costumes, so that when he returns, it appears to his superior General Tumult that he's going insane, and Tumult demotes him. The unfortunate implication being that lying is bad, but lying to get out of trouble for lying is fine, even if it ruins someone's life. Of course, Grogg is a trigger-happy idiot.

AI Is A Crap Shoot: In "From Here to Machinery", Auto-Aviators do exactly what they're programmed to do — that is, they fly a plane from one location to another in the most efficient manner possible. They don't evade danger, they ignore contrary orders (even from their owner or inventor), and they react to attempts to be manually shut down or reprogrammed by shocking anyone who touches them.

Characterization Marches On
 TaleSpin / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Kit's history with Don Karnage and the Sky Pirates seems to be all but forgotten in episodes following the pilot, to the point the two seem rather inept about each other outside their connections with Baloo. Karnage rarely refers to Kit as anything outside the generic label of "Baloo's little friend". This is because the pilot was actually rather late in production order, with the creators brainstorming several planned backstories for Kit before sticking to that one (one being Rebecca's son). Ironically Col. Spigot's first appearance in "The Idol Rich" is about the one time he and Baloo instantly recognize each other.

Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Baloo is often shown to be rather overambitious with money, and is dead set on buying back the Sea Duck from Rebecca, however when he realises some immoral and harmful undertone in a scheme or investment, he turns it down immediately.

Rotten Robotic Replacement: "From Here to Machinery" revolves around an attempt by Khan Industries to replace all pilots with a robot, the "Auto-Aviator", and Baloo's fight to not be put out of business. While he's unfortunately unable to beat the Auto-Aviator in a Man Versus Machine competition, the Auto-Aviator showcases a very fatal flaw on in the episode's final act: it is completely unable to change from its preset course and will not accept orders to do so, even when not doing so endangers the plane and everybody in it from being shot down by air pirates.

 TaleSpin / int_52c0c7cf
comment
Motive Decay: Somewhat. Depending on the Writer, Baloo could be insistent on working for Higher For Hire solely to get the Sea Duck back from Rebecca, or has grown accustomed to (if not outright enjoys) working for her. In "Save The Tiger", he basically retcons his insured wealth and ownership of the plane just so she can have her business back.

Yellow Peril: In "Last Horizons", Baloo ventures to discover a lost Shambhala-like civilization known as Panda-La, and, upon finding it, is treated as a welcome guest, but the inhabitants secretly plan to invade Cape Suzette upon hearing about it from Baloo, clearly jibing at Pearl Harbor. There is a line indicating that other pandas hate Panda-la, however.

Baloo can be considered something of a "Bunny Ears Pilot" as well, slovenly, obnoxious and Book Dumb, but is an ingenious and versatile flyer (including piloting prototype helicopters and a bare jet engine!). One could argue whether Rebecca's quirks make her a "Bunny Ears Businesswoman" as well.

Shere Khan is mostly a Affably Evil Anti-Villain interested in gaining wealth and power, but is a Noble Demon who won't cross the line and is a Friendly Enemy to Baloo. In other episodes he's a Ambiguously Evil Anti-Hero who teams up with Baloo, but usually for his own gain. In one episode he's a Faux Affably Evil villain largely responsible for the troubles.

The Alleged Boss: Rebecca Cunningham plays with this. She has Control Freak issues and is perfectly willing to push Baloo and others around in her schemes; however, she is usually all bark and no bite, and usually acts more as a bossy childish friend than an authority figure, something Baloo takes advantage of time and time again.

comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Thembria is the Soviet Union with boars. Apparently also the country in which Cape Suzette is located. While clearly modeled on the United States, the more one watches the show, the more one sees signs that it may not actually be set there (e.g. air force planes that do not bear any distinguishable markings; use of both dollars and the currencies "torbits" and "shaboozies", the latter name being applied to a desert country's currency in one episode but seemingly a slang term for "dollars" in another). Word of God eventually placed it in "Usland". Look for other examples among the various fictional places portrayed in this series.

Hero of Another Story: The pilot and "Jumping the Guns" make it clear that the cliff gunners have thwarted several of Karnage's attempts to sneak into the city or attack it by force without any help from Baloo. In the latter episode, two guards playing checkers easily see through Karnage's latest disguise (covering his airship in smoke to seem like a cloud) and casually load their cannon to drive him off while laughing about a Noodle Incident where Karnage tried to sneak past them disguised as a parade float.

Genius Ditz: Wildcat, a Cloudcuckoolander of the highest order who can fix a high number of mechanical issues in a matter of seconds (at least for what his provided apparatus allows). Word of God claims Baloo and Rebecca were meant to foil each other in this regard. Baloo is extremely Book Dumb and slovenly, but also streetwise and resourceful due to his adventuring (as well as being a grade A Ace Pilot). In contrast Rebecca is well educated and has profound business ethics, but due to her pampered lifestyle is somewhat naive and inept to the outside world. Depending on what the scenario fit, either character would play The Ditz while another would act as The Straight Man.

A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: In "Save the Tiger", Baloo saves Shere Khan's life and Khan owes him a debt in return. At first, Baloo asks for a few simple things, but when he realizes that Shere Khan is one of the richest and most powerful men in the world, he buys back his plane, isolates most of his friends, and eventually becomes bored with his new wealth and gifts. His endless lists of demands end up irritating Khan, who secretly arranges for Baloo to be kidnapped and held for ransom that equals the amount of all the things Baloo asked from Khan and Higher for Hire. Towards the end of the episode, Rebecca and Kit save Baloo, and Baloo's final request is to have everything back to the way it was before. In "The Balooest of the Blue Bloods", Baloo inherits a mansion and the butler and maid try to kill him so they can inherit it for themselves. The mansion gets repossessed at the end of the episode.

comment
Improbable Piloting Skills: Baloo is so good a pilot he can pilot a plane even if he has to resort to directly manipulating the control cables to a craft's flaps and rudder when the yoke was broke. Furthermore, in one episode, he was able to quickly learn how to fly a prototype helicopter, despite the fact that operating that kind of vehicle is a completely different (not to mention revolutionary for the 1930s) concept in aviation. And don't forget, he was able to successfully "pilot" a prototype jet engine merely by hanging on to it and tugging on it real hard. No wings, no rudder, no plane. Just the engine. He even broke the sound barrier while riding it.

Heroic Sacrifice: Baloo does this in the end of "Plunder And Lightning" where he rams the Sea Duck into Don Karnage's lightning gun and destroys it along with his plane that he had just reclaimed ownership for. Rebecca also attempts this in "A Star Is Torn" by driving a booby trapped plane that Baloo was intended to fly for a stunt. However, Baloo saves her in time. She also does so in "Save The Tiger" by selling Higher For Hire to pay for ransom money after Baloo is supposedly kidnapped in Shere Khan's Evil Plan.

Militaries Are Useless: Zigzagged. The first episode establishes that the Cape Suzette cliff guns are a credible defense capable of driving back Don Karnage. Karnage (and the Panda-La army) are able to get past them from time to time with significant trickery or a super-weapon of some kind but in general the cliff gunners are portrayed as brave in the middle of battle and savvy enough to see through a lot of Karnage's attempts to get past them (like by covering the Iron Vulture in a cloud of smoke). The pilots for the city's air defense are also no slouches fighting bravely in the face of danger (with one making a particularly good showing in the Panda-La episode until the heat-seeking rockets come out) but in the end they'll get overwhelmed and Baloo is the one who will save the day with a flying trick.

Overdrive: Used in the first episode. Combines Nitro Boost with Explosive Overclocking if left on too long. The Iron Vulture has Full Throttle mode, which gives it extra lift and is needed when it's carrying something extremely heavy (like a pyramid or iceberg) but causes the ship to rocket out of control if used during normal flight. Naturally the extra weight is always ejected before they can shut it off, sending them comically blasting off.

comment
Knight of Cerebus: Shere Khan is far less bumbling compared to the rest of the Rogues Gallery and can be pretty effective and dangerous if pushed hard enough. Of course, the show did like to poke fun of his supposed "seriousness" at times. Interestingly, this trope made its way into his Jungle Book incarnation for the sequel (in contrast to his counterpart in the original film, who was fearsome but too hammy and whimsical to count). Klang in "From Whom the Bell Klangs" seeking out a weapon of mass destruction with the intention of selling it off to the highest bidder, being voiced by Tim Curry, and resembling a serpentine version of Darth Vader.

Bumbling Henchmen Duo: Mad Dog and Dump Truck are a pair of bumbling pirates working for Don Karnage. Colonel Spigot and Sergeant Dunder are a duo of comical military officers from the despotic pseuodo-Soviet state of Thembria. Trader Moe has a pair of large but dumb goons, a rhino and a gorilla.

Captured by Cannibals: In "The Bigger They Are, the Louder They Oink", Becky's truffle hunting expedition turns sour when they're found by "pygmies" who try to cook her and the pig she brought to sniff the valuable fungus out. The biggest irony is, the pygmies seem to have plenty of truffles; they use them in the soup that Becky nearly becomes a part of.

Meaningful Name: Kit Cloudkicker. "Kit" can mean both "kite" (as he is when Sky Surfing and towed by the Sea Duck) and "small animal," which he is. "Cloudkicker" refers more overtly to his Sky Surfing. It also harkens to how he wants to kick the clouds of his troubled past away. Don Karnage, a pirate lord whose name evokes "carnage." Also overlaps with Names to Run Away from Really Fast.

Then there are area names like Cape Suzette (Crêpe Suzette), episode titles like "The Idol Rich" (The Idle Rich) and "The Sound and the Furry", and some major and minor characters' names.

Casting Gag: The decision to cast Ed Gilbert and R.J. Williams as Baloo and Kit, respectively. They had previously been cast as a father-and-son bear duo in the mid-1980s NBC cartoon Kissyfur. Similarly, casting Ed Gilbert aa main character Baloo and Pat Fraley as secondary character Wildcat. The two had previously worked together on several series, including G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Gilbert as Hawk, Fraley as Ace), Centurions (Fraley as Max Ray, Gilbert as Hacker), and BraveStarr (Fraley as BraveStarr himself [as well as recurring villains Thunderstick and Cactushead], Gilbert as 30/30 and Shaman).

Sky Heist
 TaleSpin / int_74a08ab1
comment
Sky Heist: Don Karnage and his Sky Pirates routinely intercept cargo planes, seize control of them via grappling hooks, board the cargo plane in mid-air, and abscond with its goodies. Karnage prefers to leave the pilot alive and the plane functional so that the two can "bring me more treasures and knickety-knacks, yes?" To judge by the pilot episode "Plunder and Lightning," the air pirates are fearsomely good at airborne piracy. "In Search of Ancient Blunders" takes this up to eleven. Baloo, Wildcat, and Myra the archaeologist discover the legendary upside down pyramid of King Utmost, but end up leading the Sky Pirates to it. When Myra voices her concern about the pirates, Baloo dismissively says "What are they going to do? Take the whole pyramid?". Just as they find their way out, they see the Iron Vulture above using strong cables to tote the entire pyramid out of the ground.

Laughably Evil: Don Karnage, who — despite nearly every one of his scenes being hilarious in some way (mostly due to the funny accent, eccentric antics, and a marked tendency to eat sets) — is one of the most legitimately dangerous bad guys on the show. The show's entire Rogues Gallery counts to an extent, with the arguable exception of Shere Khan, (arguable due to the occasionally over-the-top extent his Comically Serious role is taken, as well as being based on a rather valid example).

Animation Bump: To an extent, due to the animation being exported from six different studios note The Walt Disney Animation Units in Japan and France, Sunwoo Entertainment and Wang Film Productions. With help from Pacific Rim Animation (France, uncredited); and Tama Productions, Jade Animation & Hanho Heung-Up (Japan), the style and quality varied to rather noticeable degrees on occasion. This was common with most Disney cartoons at this point. Some of the high points are in the four part pilot "Plunder And Lightning" and "Pizza Pie In The Sky", which were animated by Disney France.

When Khan finds out, he dresses Dougie down for forgery, misuse of company property, and his now soot-stained coat not being up to company dress code. In the episode, "Bringing Down Babyface", after Baloo and Babyface Half-Nelson escape from the police, Officer Malarkey calls for backup, telling them, "Suspects are armed, dangerous, and wearing festive party hats." In "The Balooest of the Bluebloods", when asked on what charge the servants of Castle Von Bruinwald should be arrested, Rebecca says "Attempted Murder!" Baloo adds: "And bad cookin'!"

UST: A number of fans saw this in Baloo and Becky's interaction, despite having nothing outright romantic in the series. Well, some episodes did show some obvious Ship Tease (Baloo's Post-Kiss Catatonia in "Your Baloo's In The Mail" may be a plausible canon example). Word of God claims they intended to show infatuation between the two, though the creators admit it may have ultimately came out "lop-sided" in Rebecca's favor, who is occasionally shown to take bigger extremes in her devotion to Baloo.

During the process, it's discovered that the package meant for the High Marshall is just fishing lures, and that Case isn't a covert agent. He's just a mailman that screwed up his deliveries, and is trying to right his wrong without anyone finding out.

The warm climate and the decor at Louie's would seem to place it somewhere not unlike Hawaii, yet the episode "The Balooest of the Bluebloods" shows that it is within driving distance of Germany or a place akin to it. The best explanation of this ambiguous location may be that the country itself is not the actual United States, as one would be likely to assume initially, but a fictional counterpart thereof, a point confirmed by Word of God - Baloo and his friends are supposed to live in "Usland".

The manipulative Covington from the episode "Molly Coddled" makes an Accidental Public Confession that he's been courting Rebecca solely to gain access to Molly's new doll, which is actually the key to a treasure cave. After dressing Covington down for toying with her, Rebecca and company leave Covington to the mercy of his two accomplices, who have had an ax to grind with Covington since the episode's outset.

Lava Pot Volcano
 TaleSpin / int_88d6a202
comment
Lava Pot Volcano: "Pizza Pie in the Sky" has Baloo team up with Louie to run a pizza delivery service, using the Sea Duck as a flying kitchen. When Baloo loses the pizza oven out the loading ramp, he decides to cook the pizzas by flying around in an active volcano's caldera, depicted as a rocky bowl filled with a large lake of molten rock. Baloo and Kit survive the process with ice blocks tied to their heads. Convection, Schmonvection proves highly arbitrary, as the volcano's heat does indeed cook the pizzas, but doesn't make the Sea Duck's hull sizzling hot, overheat its engines, nor set ablaze its tanks of aviation fuel. Toon Physics at their finest.

Buzzing the Deck
 TaleSpin / int_8bce92b0
comment
Buzzing the Deck: Baloo is known to do this literally, using his propeller to trim hedges at times, as seen in the show's opening, upside-down, no less. Baloo got buzzed himself once in flight and was not happy about it, especially when he found out who he'd just been buzzed by, Ace London. In Baloo's case, however, he had very legit reason to be angry. Wildcat was performing essential repairs outside the plane while in flight, and Ace London's carelessness nearly caused the poor mechanic to fall off, not to mention causing the Sea Duck to spin.

Didn't Think This Through: In "Louie's Last Stand", Dougie Benson, an executive of Shere Khan's forges his signature in order to use one of his squadrons to get Louie off his island so Khan can re-take it, as per the details of Louie's ownership contract. When Shere Khan finds out, the executive claims he did it for Khan's best interests. Khan points out that Benson forged his name, misused his employees (getting several badly injured in the process) and broke a verbal contract, and that his best interests are served by firing him.

Perilous Old Fool: Whistlestop Jack was the best pilot in the world...at the very dawn of aviation. Some twenty or thirtyish years later, his inability to adapt to those strange new monowing aircraft (even relics like the Sea Duck) makes his piloting dangerous. Notably, Rebecca had him in a publicity position until he offered to help out/cover for Baloo. After nearly getting shot down by Khan's men, he comes to his senses.

Dirty Communists: Not explicitly said to be communist, but Thembria is obviously meant to be a stand in for the Soviet Union. In one episode, Baloo actually refers to the Thembrians as "commies," and Colonel Spigot also refers to Cape Suzette citizens as "capitalist swine"note which is ironic considering Spigot is literally a swine.

Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Baloo, Kit and Louie, among others. Baloo calls Kit "Little Britches" (breeches) in spite of neither of them wearing pants at all, presumably as a Shout-Out to the Jungle Book Baloo calling Mowgli by the same nickname. This even applies to the one episode where Baloo has to wear a tuxedo. Said tuxedo consists of a jacket, shirt, tie, cummerbund... and that's it.

Benevolent Boss/Mean Boss/Pointy-Haired Boss: Rebecca can be considered an unusual mix of all three tropes in one. While she mostly leaned towards the first due to her protagonist role and viewing her employees more as her friends, her occasional temperament, superiority complex and outright quirkiness leads to her being less than pleasant to work with on occasion, especially in early episodes. Shere Khan himself was a mix of the first two of those. He is deadly serious, hates having his time wasted and is extremely strict, but he values hard work and is quite demanding, albeit fair to his employees.

Some obvious dents left from being a single mother are also apparent.

Kitchen Sink Included: In the episode, "Bringing Down Babyface", Baloo, Kit, and Rebecca are on the run from the law and are being chased through the sewers. The police try to stop them by stuffing items from stop signs and lights to a tree down the manholes. Baloo comments that the police used everything but the kitchen sink. They then dodge a kitchen sink, after which, Rebecca tells Baloo not to give them any more ideas. Baloo then comments that they didn't use a bathtub, and a bathtub falls on the Sea Duck. After which, Rebecca tells Baloo to be quiet. In the episode, "It Came From Beneath the Sea Duck", Don Karnage sends Mad Dog and Dump Truck into the city, telling them to steal everything, including the kitchen sink. Later, when the heroes have a confrontation with a giant squid, the squid accidentally rips the sink from Rebecca's kitchen and drops it into Mad Dog and Dump Truck's submarine. Don Karnage is not amused when they bring it to him.

About half the cast fits this trope to an extent, even some of the more Closer to Earth characters can't help hamming it up at times.

For the Evulz: Don Karnage and Shere Khan, though usually more ambitious villains, occasionally are guilty of this. Thembria seems to be an entire population enforced by "evil" standards and customs. Acts such as fun and laughter can land you a hefty jail sentence.

Prestige Peril: In "The Balooest of the Bluebloods", work-a-day pilot Baloo learns that he's the last survivor of the Bruinwald bloodline, and thus, heir to a barony. Suddenly, Baloo is living large, and loving it. However, Baloo is shown portraits of his predecessors, each of whom died under peculiar circumstances. It's revealed that the Bruinwalds were all murdered by the one who would have stewardship of the barony in the absence of any Bruinwald.

Just before the rescue takes effect, however, Kit throws out an angry retort to the implied threat; Karnage responds by dropping these items and drawing his sword, which suggests he may have been bluffing up until that point.

Hypocritical Humor
 TaleSpin / int_b707726f
comment
Hypocritical Humor: "From Here to Machinery" has Rebecca telling Baloo he shouldn't lose his cool at every insult, rather he should be "calm and composed like her". When Baloo tells her seconds later that the same guy who insulted him is stealing her client, Rebecca loses it. This starts the plot in "A Spy In The Ointment". Rebecca chastises Baloo for trusting her car to a "valet" (really a thief) without asking for credentials. Not five minutes later, she accepts the job of Jack Case, who says he's a secret agent, without asking for credentials. Baloo calls her out on this. "Sheepskin Deep" has a kangaroo mailman insist that the postal service never loses letters...right before dropping several letters as he hops away. "The Incredible Shrinking Molly" ends with the scientist having an idea to invent television, with Baloo, Rebecca, and Kit immediately ridiculing the idea, unaware that their adventures are a television show. Keep in mind that the series takes place in an era similar to the 1930s, when television was a laboratory stunt.

Naturally, the show features a good few Shout Outs to The Jungle Book. Baloo's aforementioned tendency to disguise himself in drag is also likely a reference to a similar scene in the movie. "My Fair Baloo" also has Rebecca caught by a large (somewhat familiar-looking) constrictor snake. Shere Khan's panther pilots bear a striking resemblance to Bagheera.

Corrupt Corporate Executive
 TaleSpin / int_cbe687ab
comment
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Zigzagged by Shere Khan. Khan is ruthless and can be quite vicious and vindictive. However, he has a moral code and a sense of honor, and his rivals are usually much worse than he is. Many of his appearances have him as a protagonist, and his antagonist appearances frequently end with him saying something along the lines of "You are right and I will stop taking the action you are opposing. Now get out before I change my mind". Furthermore, if he hires you for a job and knows your moral principles, the job will likely be dangerous, but it will be doable, agree with your conscience, and he pays very well in the end. Whether or not it's subverted or not is completely up to the episode. In one episode he'll recruit the sky pirates to attack planes and create a fake fuel shortage. In another he'll swear a life debt. The most consistent thing about this show is its inconsistency. He's also surprisingly concerned about overworking. One episode had him rethink the care of his lower workers, as poor, unpresentable employees give him neither money or power.

Anchovies Are Abhorrent: Louie mentions to Baloo and Kit that he hates anchovies, but unfortunately doesn't get to explain why to them. When Baloo and Kit have to find some anchovies for Louie's pizza delivery business, they get irregular ones from a discount fish market. Just one whiff of them makes Louie severely ill. Rebecca, on the other hand, loves anchovies and sure enough, the pizza with anchovies is to be delivered to her.

Ridiculous Exchange Rates: When Baloo recovers an idol from Colonel Spigot he trades it in for a 13 million torbit reward. He calls Rebecca, bragging that he's going to buy the Sea Duck back, while Louie figures out the exchange rate from torbits to shaboozis (Cape Suzette currency). Eight shaboozis worth of gas (plus ice cream tab, tax, and tip) wipes out the whole reward. Suddenly completely broke, Baloo is forced to do an immediate about-face, meekly telling Rebecca he'll be back to work tomorrow and asking if he can reverse charges on the call.

Reset Button: Baloo has managed to save up enough money to buy back his plane more than a few times, but even when events didn't conspire to put him back to work for Becky, the fact of the matter is that he is a lousy businessman and usually ends up asking for his job back anyway. On the other hand, after an early episode ("I Only Have Ice for You") where Rebecca has trouble learning how to pilot a plane (from a book), a later story shows that she's learned a lot from Baloo and is now a capable pilot on her own. Of course, she still gladly hands the controls to the Ace Pilot when there's any crazy stunts to be pulled.

Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: The Thembrians are purple warthogs, and are the only anthropomorphic race in the series to sport unrealistic colors. The color of Molly's fur tends to be inconsistent between episodes. In some, her fur is either tan or beige. In others, it can be a vibrant yellow. In "Stuck on You", there is a rabbit employee at the glue factory that could almost be Roger Rabbit's cousin. In addition to having blue fur, his appearance is much more cartoonish than most other characters, including other rabbits that have shown up.

Affectionate Nickname: Baloo dishes out a lot of these, but perhaps the most notable are "Lil' Britches" (for Kit; ironically Kit doesn't normally wear britches) and "Becky" (for Rebecca). Rebecca's treatment of her nickname also mirrors the trope, only accepting it when she is on happy terms with Baloo. Kit calls Baloo Mowgli's nickname from the original Disney movie, "Papa Bear".

Slave to PR: Ace London in "Mach One For The Gipper" has it all: worldwide fame, legions of adoring fans, and first in line for testing an experimental jet engine that will make history. One little mistake - ordering the engine loaded aboard Baloo's plane - could have been easily corrected if he'd admitted his mistake, but he has to fix it himself, without anybody knowing. It doesn't turn out well for him.

No Antagonist: There are a few episodes that lack a proper villain. "For a Fuel Dollars More" is about a rivalry between Baloo and Louie, after Rebecca's new middair refuelling station takes business away from Louie's place. "The Old Man and the Sea Duck" involves Baloo getting amnesia and trying to relearn how to fly. "Sheepskin Deep" has Principal Pomeroy, who at worst comes off as "annoying". He's really just a stickler for rules who doesn't think highly of Baloo and his shenanigans. "Pizza Pie in the Sky" has the health inspector. He gives Baloo a hard time and ultimately fines him, but in actuality he's just doing his job. "Your Baloo's in the Mail" is about Baloo struggling to get a letter delivered on time after not paying for express shipping. "The Incredible Shrinking Molly" has a rat that terrorizes the shrunken characters. However, it comes off as being a wild animal and not a proper villain.

Whole-Plot Reference: "The Time Bandit" follows many of the same plot points the DuckTales episode "Allowance Day" did. Both involve a character making everyone believe that a day has passed in order to get paid sooner which results in another believing it's cost them an important business deal, eventually spiraling into a disaster that nearly gets them executed by a firing squad. "Her Chance to Dream" uses the plot of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Morality Pet: Molly to Rebecca. Word of God says that Molly was written essentially to offset Rebecca's nagging tendencies towards Baloo, and bring out her softer and often more protective sides. Kit often brings out this element in Baloo as well.

Family-Friendly Firearms: Interestingly enough, almost utterly averted. Don Karnage's men fire what appear to be real tracers out of their machine guns, the Cape Suzette anti-aircraft guns are firing real flak shells, and in one episode Baloo is chased by gangsters with very realistic-looking revolvers that fire real bullets. The few exceptions are justified, such as AA guns that shoot pies during an air race, since they are designed to hinder the racing pilots, not kill them. The Thembrians have antiaircraft guns, but getting ammo for them is a red-tape nightmare.

 TaleSpin / int_e5421161
comment
Expy: Rebecca, according to Word of God is based on Rebecca Howe of Cheers in both aspects of personality and her chemistry with the main protagonist.note The show debuted long before Rebecca became a Butt-Monkey and extreme Gold Digger in later seasons, and not the businesswoman Rebecca tried to be in early seasons. The business situation is very similar to Cheers as well: Entrepreneurial businesswoman takes over a failing business run by a laid-back owner and attempts to change his ways to make the business profitable, Hilarity Ensues. Kit is also obviously meant to be an Expy for Mowgli in places. While he has enough unique traits to differentiate the two, his relationship with Baloo is very similar (right down to using the same affectionate nicknames for each other). The three major Thembrians: Col. Spigot, Sgt. Dunder and the High Marshall are Expies (and parodies) of Col. Wilhelm Klink, Sgt. Hans Schultz, and General Albert Burkhalter from Hogan's Heroes. Although the High Marshall is also a very obvious visual Expy of Leonid Brezhnev. And as mentioned above, the show is based loosely on Tales of the Gold Monkey, making Baloo, Wildcat and Louie expies of Jake, Corky and, er, Louie. Shere Khan as an Anti-Villain and a Noble Demon who often as not helps out the heroes, serves a similar role as Princess Koji.

Insistent Terminology: Baloo prefers to call Rebecca "Becky;" early episodes show her arguing with him about it, wanting him to call her Rebecca, but when he finally does she says "It's Becky." According to Don Karnage, he and his men don't rob. They plunder. Why? Because they are pirates, not robbers.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In "From Here to Machinery", Baloo fails a contest that decides a mass buyout of a mechanical pilot. Since Higher For Hire is consequently out of business, Rebecca notes sadly that she has to sell the Sea Duck, Baloo's beloved plane, in order to keep a roof under her and Molly's head. While Kit is mortified, a guilt ridden Baloo just solemnly tells him to let it go.

Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: In "The Ransom of Red Chimp", Don Karnage kidnaps Louie's aunt and tries to ransom her for an insane amount of money. However, she develops an irresistible attraction to him becoming a crazed Stalker with a Crush, much to Karnage's horror. He's spent a good portion of the episode trying to get away from her, trapped in his own airship. When Baloo and Louie arrive to rescue Louie's aunt, Karnage begs them to take her back, even paying them to do so.

Men of Sherwood
 TaleSpin / int_eb0d7317
comment
Men of Sherwood: Cape Suzette has a large staff of artillery gunners stationed on the cliffs outside the city to fight invaders. They don’t appear often, but when they do, they’re just as likely to drive invaders (usually Karnage and his air pirates) away as they are to fail due to some trick or super weapon. Even when they are defeated, they always survive. The airplane pilots who make up the city’s second line of defense are also quite competent, but whenever a threat is dire enough to send them against it, it will also be formidable enough to shoot down the planes (although the pilots always bail out) and require Baloo to save the day. Shere Khan's private air force tends to be defeated, either by Baloo or the air pirates, but his navy is an impressive force in "A Bad Reflection on You." The villains' only hope of bating them is a minefield trick, and when that fails, they play a decent role in routing their enemies. Rick Sky's old military squadron from "Bygones" only show up at the end of the episode, after being thawed out of an iceberg, and only have two or three lines of dialogue between them. However, when they fight the Air Pirates in their antique planes, they subject Don Karnage to a devastating defeat and only one squadron member is (non-fatally) shot down.

Also Oscar does this in the episode "Captains Outrageous" when he blows the cell wall open in the Iron Vulture to save Baloo, Kit, and Wildcat from the pirates. Shere Khan of all people does this at the end of "Louie's Last Stand" when he stops a corrupt employee from blowing up Louie's club.

Jerkass: Ace London is an arrogant blowhard who believes himself the best pilot ever and demeans everyone else.

In reality, he purposely skimps him on the promised payment in order to keep the biggest cuts for himself, then later revealed he doesn't mind getting people hurt or worse in doing his insanely dangerous stunts if it gets him big money. Cool Hands is a sexist prick who demeans Baloo simply for having a woman for a boss and paints him and Higher for Hire in a bad light for the very same reason.

Snap Back: At the end of "A Baloo Switcheroo", a body-switching idol accidentally causes Mad Dog and Dump Truck to switch bodies before falling out of the Iron Vulture and into the sea. The idol had been said to be the only thing capable of undoing its own power, and that its effect will be permanent if not used within a day's time. Mad Dog and Dump Truck are somehow back to normal in their next appearance, so maybe the pirates actually recovered it. Either way, the idol is never seen or mentioned outside of this sole episode.

Distracted by the Sexy: The reason Baloo and Louie help Katie find the lost city of Tinabula, even though they didn't want to go treasure hunting in the episode "For Whom The Bell Klangs". This also happens to Baloo and Louie when they help Princess Lotta Lamour in "The Road to Macadamia". This is the main reason that Baloo won't listen to Rebecca when she tells Baloo that Kitten Kaboodle is responsible for the "accidents" that have been happening on the movie set in the episode "A Star Is Torn". "Cool Hands" Luke is obviously smitten by "Tan-Margaret" (aka Baloo) in "Feminine Air", even though they are competitors in an air race.

Taxman Takes the Winnings

Taxman Takes the Winnings: The ending of "The Balooest of the Blue Bloods". Baloo stands to inherit a ton of money from a distant relative, while the servants try to kill him. After he survives the night, all the money is lost due to the "real family curse" - decades of unpaid land taxes. Similarly, when he manages to claim a huge reward for a recovered artifact, the bulk of it is taken up by the bar tab he ran up at Louie's. Though considering that Louie regularly lets him run up a tab that size, it's still a net gain. Again, Baloo receives a huge cash reward for the capture of Babyface Halfnelson, but then the police immediately takes it back to evenly cover all his unpaid parking tickets he's accumulated. And again, Baloo gets a huge cash reward from Shere Khan for recovering his company's top secret project and keeping it from getting stolen by a rival. Then he gives a silent command to his secretary, who takes it all back from Baloo to cover the collateral damages done on his building.

Never Win the Lottery: In "Your Baloo's in the Mail", Rebecca wins a big prize from a radio station, then trusts lazy Baloo to deliver her winning ticket—without telling him how important it is.

Or for that matter, the same radio station offering to purchase the one-of-a-kind stamp on the ticket's envelope for the cost of the prize... which they discover after Baloo throws it away - and just as the garbage truck pulls away after collecting it.

Dude, Where's My Respect?: No matter how many crises Higher for Hire proves essential in averting, no matter how many times Baloo proves he's the best darn pilot in the sky, they all remain in a barely acknowledged fringe business that has to struggle to find anyone willing to pay them for work. Shere Khan at least seems to know and respect their potential by the end of the series, but as they're still his competition he has a vested interest in keeping them on the dregs (even if he's very civil about it).

Clock Tampering
 TaleSpin / int_f8730dfc
comment
Clock Tampering: In "The Time Bandit", Baloo alters the clocks and calendars (and even bribes a radio show host to say the incorrect day) to trick Rebecca into thinking it's Saturday and pay him so he can attend a party at Louie's. Hilarity Ensues. In "Flying Dupes", Baloo is tasked with delivering a package to the Thembrian High Marshall by 3:00, unaware that the package contains a bomb. When he, Col. Spigot and Sgt. Dunder stop at Ivan's bar, Spigot refuses to leave until after 3:00, when the showgirls perform. Baloo alters the clock at Ivan's to 3:00 and disguises himself and Dunder as the showgirls.

Platonic Co-Parenting
 TaleSpin / int_fb9941df
comment
Platonic Co-Parenting: Baloo and Rebecca Cunningham are not a married couple and on many occasions are at each other's throats, especially when running Hire for Hire, with Rebecca being bossy and Baloo being lazy. Nonetheless, they both act as parental figures to Baloo's adopted son, Kit, and Rebecca's biological daughter, Molly.

Beware the Nice Ones

comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Myra from "In Search of Ancient Blunders". Also Wildcat, Rebecca, Kit, and even Molly fit this trope most of the time.

Singing Telegram
 TaleSpin / int_fdee2c8f
comment
Singing Telegram: In the episode, "On a Wing and a Bear", Shere Khan hires Don Karnage to fake a fuel shortage so he can raise gas prices. When his plan succeeds, Khan orders his assistant, McWhirtley, to send a telegram to Karnage congratulating him on the highjacking. When McWhirtley arrives at Karnage's hideout, Karnage asks McWhirtley if he will sing the telegram for him, and McWhirtley tells him he can't, as it doesn't even rhyme. Karnage then holds McWhirtley at swordpoint, telling him to make it rhyme and sing it, which McWhirtley does. At the end of the episode, when Khan's plan is foiled by Baloo, Khan orders McWhirtley to send Karnage another telegram. McWhirtley asks Khan if it should be a singing one, but Khan tells him, "Not this time". The telegram Khan has McWhirtley send Karnage is an explosive that explodes when Karnage opens the envelope.
