Kohaku Zero :

I haven\'t watched the series in a long time, but is this the same Baloo from [TalesSpin] to the Jungle Book?

I was just wondering, because I haven\'t seen the show in like years.

steet :

Yes and no; he "bears" the same appareance (except that he has hands instead of claws - would have been tough piloting planes with claws...), and a bit of the same characters (lazy, easy going, and at the same time caring...)
But the setting is very different. He's a pilot, works for a business lady, has money problems, etc...
It's almost a re-invented character, because the show itself has really nothing to do with the Jungle Book.

Yep - I've got an article pending (awaiting approval for posting) which explains the differences between how the three recurring characters (Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan) differ between how they are portrayed in "The Jungle Book" animated movie, and the "TailSpin" animated series. Should be interesting reading! Keep watching the articles page - hopefully it will get approved soon!
