Another [[Disney]] adventure cartoon from the ''era of the [[DuckTales (1987)]]|original '' eraDuckTales'']], this series'''''TaleSpin''''' transplants several characters from [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Disney's adaptation of]] ''[[The Jungle Book (novel)|The Jungle Book]]'' into a show about the golden age of seaplane travel, featuring [[Funny Animal]]s. Essentially an animated ''[[Tales of the Gold Monkey]]'' - especially as one of the key locations is Louie's, an island bar ran by the titular monkey.
 
Baloo the bear is a seaplane cargo-for-hire operator from the port city of Cape Suzette in a time not unlike the 1930s. 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.
