List of TaleSpin characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Detective Thursday)

This is a list of characters in the Disney animated series TaleSpin. TaleSpin was previewed on The Disney Channel in May through July 1990,[1][2] and premiered in syndication in September of that year. Some of the characters also appeared in the 2017 DuckTales reboot.

Higher for Hire

[edit]
  • Baloo (voiced by Ed Gilbert) is the main character of the series, based primarily on the sloth bear from Disney's The Jungle Book. Although lazy, slobbish, unreliable and always broke, he is also an excellent pilot and capable of the most daring maneuvers in the air. He flies a cargo plane called the Sea Duck. He will also selflessly come to the aid of those in need of help. His irresponsible behavior sometimes jeopardizes important situations.[3] In the episode "The Balooest of the Bluebloods", it is revealed that Baloo comes from a prominent noble family and that his full name is Baloo, Baron von Bruinwald XIII.[4] Gilbert replaced Phil Harris, who had originally been hired to reprise his role from The Jungle Book. At 85 years old, Harris had lost some of his comic timing, and producers concluded he would not be able to handle the load of a 65-episode series at his age and condition, nor were they in the position to chauffeur him to and from his home in Palm Springs, California, a two-hour trip in each direction, for each session.[5] To perfect his rendition of Baloo's voice, Gilbert listened to old recordings of Phil Harris and practiced for many hours until he had it just right.
  • Kit Cloudkicker (voiced by R. J. Williams as a child in some episodes, Alan Roberts in others, Adam Pally as an adult in the 2017 DuckTales series) is a 12-year-old[6] brown bear cub and the navigator aboard Baloo's plane, the Sea Duck. Having lived with the air pirates under Don Karnage for one year prior to the start of the series,[7] the introductory film states that he left the air pirates because he "got sick" of them, implying that either he was mistreated or he got tired of Karnage's arrogance and ruthlessness.[7] It is not exactly known when, where or how Kit was orphaned, but in the associated comics, it was revealed he spent some of his life on the streets and later a village of hobos (not unlike the Hoovervilles of actuality) prior to the series. He also claims that he never knew his parents, which could mean he had lost them when he was too young to remember. In the 2017 DuckTales series, Kit was owner of both the Sea Duck and Higher for Hire, which he lamented in as he did "what was expected of him". He still possessed his air foil skills and when the adult Molly Cunningham bought the Sea Duck for her "Danger Woman's Circus", she convinced him to join her circus as a performer, rather than a pilot, showing she respects his skills.
  • Rebecca Cunningham (voiced by Sally Struthers) is a bear who bought Baloo's Air Service and his plane in the introductory episode Plunder & Lightning when the pilot failed to pay his bank loan, and renamed the business "Higher for Hire".[8] Although she originally relegated herself to the administrative and sales functions of the business, the series shows she eventually learns to be a capable would-be pilot in her own right.[9]
  • Molly Elizabeth Cunningham (voiced by Janna Michaels, Eliza Coupe as an adult in the 2017 DuckTales series) is Rebecca's yellow-furred, 6-year-old[10] daughter. She is an adventurous child who even at her age, is not afraid to speak her mind just like her mother, who nicknames her "Honey" and "Pumpkin". No mention was ever made of Molly's father, as series creator Jymn Magon reportedly said that Rebecca is either a widow or divorced, although at a 1998 U.S. fan convention Q&A online chat he did state in roundabout tones that she is divorced.[11] In the 2017 DuckTales series, Molly, like Kit, has grown up, and like her mother, became the proprietor, but of a circus called "Danger Woman's Flying Circus". She acquires the Sea Duck and recruits Kit as a performer for his recurring air foil skills.
  • Wildcat (voiced by Pat Fraley) is a clueless and gangly lion who typically wears a mechanic's outfit. Although very childlike, he is ultimately a mechanical genius. For example, he can fix a smashed telephone in under ten seconds.[8] He is honest and truthful, but at times too truthful, much to the annoyance of Baloo.

Air Pirates

[edit]

Other Pirates

  • Mad Dog (voiced by Charlie Adler) is a scrawny coyote with a "Fu Manchu" style mustache who wears aviator goggles on his head. He is Don Karnage's first mate (second-in-command).

Khan Industries

[edit]

Dour, humorless and slightly arrogant because of his wealth and position, he takes enjoyment out of running small companies out of business with a sense of ruthlessness to skirt around the law as he chooses.[8] Despite his ruthless and self-interested behavior, Khan is willing to act nobly at times, such as ordering his forces into the air to protect Cape Suzette from air pirate attacks. He is also shown to respect Baloo's piloting skills.[17]

  • The Jungle Aces Secret Midnight Club (often simply referred to as The Jungle Aces) is a club of young wannabe pilots, of whom Kit is a member. Other club members include club leader Ernie (a hyena; voiced by Whitby Hertford), a hippopotamus, a rabbit, and a bird.[26]
  • Oscar Vandersnoot (voiced by Ben Ryan Ganger) is a short, geeky-looking yellow bear cub and friend of Kit who wants to join his Jungle Aces Secret Midnight Club, much to the consternation of the other members.

He abuses and neglects the animals in his care, including a whale named Moby Dimple (voiced by Welker) who is befriended by Kit.

  • Colonel Grogg (voiced by Michael Bell) is a jingoistic, paranoid and overly excitable military intelligence officer spaniel. Obsessed with the "threat" of an alien invasion, he clandestinely monitored and recorded Baloo's radio transmissions during his phony flight to Mars, which, unbeknownst to Grogg was actually a lame attempt to scam a two-week vacation at Lake Flaccid out of Rebecca. Grogg's uncle Bucky, realizing that he is delusional, has him demoted to private.[38]
  • Professor Martin Torque (voiced by Patrick Gorman) is a Doberman inventor who sought to replace every pilot in Cape Suzette with his Auto-Aviator (voiced by Pat Fraley), a coldly efficient robotic pilot that was bought by Shere Khan. The result was that every freelance cargo service in the city (including Higher for Hire) was put out of business, and every pilot (freelance or otherwise) was put out of work.[17] After his attempt flops in an incident with the air pirates due to the robots' programing rendering them unable to deviate from their course, Torque attempts to sell his reprogrammed machines to the Thembrians.[17]

Dressed as a cross between a king and a court jester, he appears at first as not too bright but is a shrewd leader who is manipulated by his scheming Royal Chancellor Trample to consider abdicating his throne. After the plot fails, Amuck frugally rewards Baloo and Louie with ten sacks of chocolate macadamia nuts.[44]
  • Chancellor Trample (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a conniving vulture out to usurp the throne of King Amuck to gain the riches of the royal house of Macadamia. After his plans go awry, he confesses his crimes, begging to be locked up and tortured than endure more of Baloo and Louie's antics.[44]

  • Joe Magee (voiced by Hal Smith) is an old ace pilot and flight instructor who appears in the episode "The Old Man and the Sea Duck". While Baloo is flying alone in the Sea Duck, Magee helps Baloo to land at his airfield because Baloo cannot remember how to fly due to amnesia he had suffered from a blow to the head during a previous flight. He then helps Baloo regain his memories of flying by teaching him how to fly again and about the true meaning of flying (that is, having fun and feeling free).

After catching the crooked lawmen and meeting the CEO, Clevenger becomes the new foreman of the urgonium mine.

  • Sheriff Gomer (voiced by David Doyle) is a hog who works as a mine foreman in the mining town of Boomstone.

  • Broadcast Sally (voiced by Sheryl Bernstein) is a large, strong and sensual hippopotamus who works as a disc jockey at K-CAPE radio station in Cape Suzette. She is so popular that her broadcast range goes as far as Thembria, where her transmission is banned by law but is heard, regardless of the penalty that comes with it.[55]
  • Ralph Throgmorton (voiced by Ken Sansom) is an immaculately dressed coypu with round glasses who works as a flight instructor for FLAP (the Federal Licensing Agency for Pilots) in Cape Suzette. Uptight and humorless, he is extremely meticulous and does absolutely everything "alphabetically" (for example, he insists on having his car serviced by first having the Air in the tires checked, then the Brake fluid, then the Coolant, then the Dipstick, etc. in alphabetical order).[19]
  • Airplane Jane (voiced by Susan Silo) is a hippopotamus pilot who learned to fly from Baloo.[56] Despite her show-offish attitude and often sneaky, competitive nature, she is ultimately kind and willing to help friends in need.[56]
  • Princess Grace (voiced by Victoria Carroll) is a white swan princess and first in line to the throne of the kingdom of Walla Walla Bing Bang. However, her right to the throne is challenged by her supposed long-lost cousin Prince Rudolf, and in order to prove her right to rule she must obtain the long-lost Ruby Wings.

  • Prince Rudolf (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) is a black swan who is supposedly second in line to the throne of the kingdom of Walla Walla Bing Bang and Princess Grace's long-lost cousin. In reality, Rudolf is a foreign imposter who intends to steal the throne.[56]
  • Captain William Stansbury (voiced by Peter Reneday) is a 19th-century lion sea captain who crashed his sailing ship a hundred years earlier onto what is now the island where Louie built his nightclub and whose ghost haunts when he is magically brought forth during a casual night of carousing. While Baloo and Louie are forced to do chores by the captain's magical power, they find a book of spells in the ship that will get rid of Stansbury and return everything back to normal. They then begin to exorcise the ghost by reading a spell from the book, but Rebecca intervenes before they can finish. Rebecca finishes off the spell, returning Stansbury to the spirit world.[57]
  • Crazy Edie (voiced by Billy Hayes) is a bird mechanic and con artist who sabotages airplanes in order to charge high prices to fix them, with the help of her four cute, furry gremlin-like creatures (voiced by Frank Welker) who are forced against their will to assist her. She controls them with special collars fitted around their necks which cause them to destroy/disassemble machines when exposed to a certain sound frequency. After encountering the creatures, Wildcat returns them to their home in the bayou.[58]
  • Hans and Helga (voiced by Stan Jones and Joan Gerber respectively) are the homicidal servants of the von Bruinwald Castle in Bearvaria who live to serve and kill the von Bruinwald family in order to gain the family's inheritance. They are stopped after Baloo fakes his death.[4]

  • O'Roarke (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a bull who tricks Baloo and Wildcat into taking him to a mysterious land of dinosaurs that come alive with the aid of a magical waterfall, presumably to start a touring business. In reality, O'Roarke intends to start a hunting business that targets the dinosaurs. To foil his plans, Wildcat shuts off the waterfall so as to hide the valley from the hunters leaving him at the mercy of the two hunters that he started to enlist. Due to the mechanic's good nature and feelings of wonder toward the prehistoric creatures, he secretly allows the waterfall to reopen.[59]
  • Nanuk (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a polar bear who is one of the customers of Baloo and Louie's "Pizza Pie in the Sky" pizza air delivery business.[60]
