Another Example of Great 90's Animation, 22 September 2007
9/10
Author: Der Himmelhase from United States

Talespin is not only a great source of nostalgia for me, I also appreciate its characters more than ever along with their wit. Many things about this cartoon I didn't understand as a kid I enjoy now. It was one of those cartoons of the 90's which I didn't fully appreciate as a child. Thembria, a surprisingly educated parody of Stalinist Russia populated by blue warthogs, is one of the things in this show that illustrates how Saturday morning cartoons are often more sophisticated than what we're expected to watch as adults.

The animation and voice acting in this show is great, and the premise (a sort of a fantasy world resembling the period between the two world wars) was distinctive. Characters were believable and well-developed as well. My favorite character is Shere Khan. He was a creepy and callous CEO who was practically omnipotent, and often contributed the most memorable lines.
