I'm still not sure I quite understood tailspin. It was jungle book characters turned anthropomorphic with a little bit of gummi bears, a dash of robin hood, with maybe a light sprinkling of goof troop? What was this show

Tailspin is definitely one of those shows where you don't want to overthink the premise and just accept what you see. Repurposed Jungle Book characters working as air freighters and fighting off sky pirates in a quasi-futuristic art deco seaside metropolis? Sure, what the hell, why not?

Nowadays I feel like people would be quick to write off such premises as 'lol zee randumb bullshit.' But it cannot be understated that shows like Tailspin (along with video games of that era like Super Mario and Final Fantasy, many of which had a similar hard-to-pin-down aesthetic) did wonders for expanding my sense of creativity at a young and impressionable age.
