Welcome to TaleSpin Source!
Talespin is a Disney TV series, aired in 1990 as part of the "Disney Afternoon" TV programme, and lasted for 65 episodes.
Following the success of previous series such as Gummi Bears or Ducktales, TaleSpin is a mix of genres : comedy, adventure, drama...
The story relates the adventures of Baloo, as a bush pilot in the 1930's. Careless and easy-going, he ends up working for a business woman named Rebecca for her air service : "Higher for Hire".
But life in the little town of Cape Suzette isn't easy, as the "air pirates" leaded by the dangerous and big-ego pirate Don Karnage, hijack and plunder the planes without mercy.
Baloo's life is about to change when one day, he meets with a young orphan bear : Kit, who despite being cute, seems to have a dark past...
On first sight, the show may seem like a Jungle Book spin-off, as three famous characters (Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan) are present - but this is VERY far from the truth, the show being very unique and creative on almost every side : clever and varied stories, great characters, good animation and orchestral musics...
And while this was a series "marketed" with kids in mind, it has different levels of reading, so that both kids and adults alike will love the stories. The show never hesitates to mention "hard" topics : money problems, jealousy, treason, war, death...while staying true to the Disney values!
In a few words, this is an animated gem that Disney should be proud of, and should SHOW it!
Just in case you hadn't noticed yet, I have added 5 "new" TaleSpin comics in the section with the same name. These are pretty short, but still interesting ones.
He're to hoping that we can get real NEW (and better / canon) TaleSpin comics soon!

Universal released its first CGI film this month, and it's...a huge success. Despicable Me is probably the biggest surprise this year, as it generated 118M$ in only two weeks (yes, more than Princess & The Frog during its whole lifespan), while it was produced (in France) for a very small 60M$ budget.
It seems nowadays every company is doing better than Disney...the complete opposite of what happened in the 80-90s, when every animated film would fail, one after the other, when there wasn't written

I have upgraded the text editor on the site, which is used when sending PMs, editing your profile, writing fanfics, articles etc...
It used to be FCKEditor 2.0, but it has been renamed to CKEditor for version 3. (Ok, I think no one cares)
The thing is, there is a new graphical interface (which is much nicer IMO, and with a different color on each site), but also a new file/image browsing interface, which is MUCH more practical (thumbnails, renaming, deleting files...)
NB : Somebody has reported having problems with computers slow down, with the SCAYT spelling corrector,
