Intro clips from which episodes?

I finally rewatched all of TaleSpin but there's still a whole bunch clips in the intro I can't remember seeing in the show. Of course I didn't always give it my full attention and it's possible I just missed some moments, but I was wondering if perhaps people know if it's a mix of episode clips and clips animated just for the intro. Or maybe someone has made a list matching the clips to episodes. I'd be happy with any information to satisfy my curiosity :D

Would you accept Talespin as a live action movie with humans?

I was showing Talespin to my niece the other day. I hadn't seen it since I was a little kid. When watching it I had a thought that it could be adapted into a action/adventure movie but have it be actual humans. The characters are great and having the animal/jungle book aesthetic is just a bonus so I don't feel a great deal of the shows magic would be lost in translation.

I feel today's cinema landscape is severely lacking in adventure movies and Talespin has a great setting and concept that is rife with adventure.

At the end it could even go slightly meta and have the crews exploits catch the attention of a writer and the cartoon is a retelling of the adventures had.

Do you feel this idea would work?

“A Spy in the Ointment” and Thembria

Is this supposed to be the episode in which Baloo first meets Spigot and Dunder? They act like they haven’t met before, but in earlier episodes they had already interacted. I know it’s just a kids’ show so I shouldn’t take it so seriously, but I find the continuity a bit odd lol

The species of Katie Dodd, archaeologist.

Sup, /rTaleSpin!

From the two-part "For Whom the Bells Klang", back in the day I assumed she was some kind of fox despite her appearance being inconsistent with the Disney fox designs seen in Robin Hood and that other desert-themed episode featuring Myra Foxworthy.

Adding to the mystery was a model sheet I had come across, featuring a variety of appearances (including her tail-less dinner dress) and designating Katie as a "desert fox". In recent years, however, I began to wonder..."was she actually a cat this whole time?"

Beyond that model sheet, was there any official documentation pointing out the species Katie's design is supposed to represent?

(Shoutout to voice actor Ellen Gerstell's efforts towards Mihoshi in the Tenchi series!)

Really enjoying this show

I was born in 1990 so I was too young to watch TaleSpin when it first premiered, but I caught some reruns of it in the mid-late 90s. It never really grabbed my attention beyond noticing that it featured some Jungle Book characters. But I’m watching it now as an adult and I honestly think the show holds up really well. The worldbuilding is impressive, the scripts are (more often than not) sharp and witty, and there are a lot of exciting and fun moments.

The setting and concepts really grab me. Something about a tropical-adjacent story involving aviation and seaplanes, air pirates, 30s-40s art deco vibes, old technology….just makes me feel like a kid again, and the world is still exciting and new.

Just wanted to share my thoughts and bring some life back to this subreddit. :)
