Wheat Loaf posted:This reminds me of how TaleSpin is nebulously set in the 1930s and Baloo the Bear mentions at one point that "the war" ended 20 years earlier, which means that World War I happened in the TaleSpin universe. The Jungle Book takes place somewhere in the Indian subcontinent, right? A friend of mine theorizes that TaleSpin is the Jungle Book, post-British-colonialism. This is my headcanon now.

Tim Burns Effect posted:Did you never see Robin Hood? Sure, but with that, it's retelling the traditional Robin Hood story with animals, whereas TaleSpin was recasting Jungle Book characters in a way that confused me when I was little. I'm not saying it was sensible of me to think that, mind you. It's a cartoon that ended before I was born and I only saw it as reruns. zoux posted:Disney: Make a new Crimson Skies game but with Talespin stuff. I will humbly accept only 1 percent of the hojillion dollars this game would make. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge was my favourite game for a while. Half the reason we got an Xbox (the other half was KOTOR 1).

I think the cars that are clowns would be Mini Coopers, and the car that is a clown car would be like a flatbed with a cover on it that you could conceivably fit one or two cars that are clowns in, but then like way to many of them come out.

I just kind of feel there are two things which define a clown car; 1) when you honk the horn, the wheels fall off (which would presumably lead to the the clown car being immobilised and eventually death through starvation, but still within the bounds of the cars universe) and 2) it contains an unlikely number of clowns. In a universe where the clowns are themselves clown cars, each of which must also contain an unlikely number of clowns (otherwise they are not technically clown cars), which would of course have to be further clown cars. Never mind the "where are all the humans", I present the possibility that the ultimate end of the cars universe will come due to the clown car singularity where one clown car opening its doors leads to an exponentially increasing infinite clown car population explosion, eventually crushing all cars, both clown and regular, to death. The clown carpocalypse if you will.

It's arguable that they were just throwaway gags, but there are references to TaleSpin being in the same shared world as Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck.

Talespin was a good series, with such  highlights as:-Cape Suzette's port is ringed by high cliffs. On the entrance to the port are 2 AA guns which apparently have enough firepower to deter all but the biggest of villain superweapon. Apparently it never occurs any of these sky pirates or whatever to just, uh, fly around and come in from inland? -They had their own version of WW1, because Baloo encounters some pilot (or a ghost of one? I can't remember) that had apparently fought in the 'Great War'. -A nation of Pandas from 'Panda-La' attempt an invasion of Cape Suzette like some sort of Pearl Harbor raid, involving an armada of balloons firing heat-seeking rockets. -The soviets are represented as 'Zembrians' which are Warthogs including some Stalin analogue as their leader. -Even though Baloo is basically Chuck Yeager, Iron Man, MacGuyver, and a bunch of other stereotypes rolled into one, somehow he's still enough of a deadbeat not to be able to pay off his plane from the chipmunk lady that bought out his company.

In "Doctor Strange", Stephen was by far the worst student in his sorcerer school and demonstrated it constantly but for some reason was regarded as some sort of "chosen one" throughout the whole proceedings and the tutors repeatedly gave him special attention, apparently seeing something in him that was never fully explained. Then *poof* he was this amazing master of the dark arts practically out of nowhere. I liked the film but I was like "why are they spending so much time on him?" and then went straight to "drat, that was loving quick".

He had already mastered one of the hardest mundane disciplines through sheer intelligence and force of will, and applied the lessons he learned to his new trade. He was considered one of, if not the best, surgeons.

Strange had trouble starting out because he still didn't believe magic would work. Once he actually proves to himself that he can do it he learns extremely quickly.

I don't get why you pay all that money for a guy who has a voice like a Benedict Cumberbatch and then have him use some dumbshit American accent. Dude sounds like an ocelot purring in a vat of honey but in the movie he talks like a insurance salesman from Toledo.

Pretty much everyone who came to learn magic seemed to be someone who, like Strange, had run out of all other options but to believe in magic, or otherwise had nowhere else to go, most of them probably had nearly all the same problems he did. The difference being, as established, Stephen Strange is a genius workaholic when motivated who's already mastered an incredibly difficult job, and reads voraciously. On the TaleSpin note, Baloo seemed to be cast as someone who really liked flying and was really good at it, but gave the bare minimum of effort into everything else, and was barely literate on top of that, it's mentioned he never finished grade school. (which may not be uncommon in Cape Suzette and the time setting) Also, the new DuckTales cartoon has mention of Cape Suzette, St Canard and Spoonerville in the first episode, and the creators have mentioned everything from the Disney Afternoon is fair game except for Rescue Rangers (due to a movie in the works which may or may not ever see the light of day) and Mickey himself.

He was making small enough portals to just stick one hand through exactly where it needed to be to while he was taking books from the library!

The basics of any field can be difficult if you fail to find the right approach. Like, send an academic to assemble some Ikea furniture and see how that turns out. But the academic will likely possess the faculties to figure out a way to learn how to decipher the Ikean hieroglyphs pretty quickly, and work them out way faster than you and me as he furnishes his place with more and more garish Tyssedals.
