'Talespin' has always been a show dear to my heart. One of those favourites from a young age that holds up really well, and is even more entertaining through adult eyes from appreciating the writing and stories even more.
Have been on a roll reviewing individual episodes for certain shows, animated, non-animated and of as many genres as possible (many as part of certain quests), and decided to do it with 'Talespin' and some others. Something that, as expected and hoped, has proven to be a more than worthwhile project and experience. "Flight of the Snow Duck" is one of my favourite episodes of 'Talespin'.
The animation is very colourful and atmospheric as always. The music matches what is going on perfectly and it is impossible to forget or resist the theme song, one of the catchiest for anything Disney and ever.
Writing is witty, very funny without being too silly and thought-probing without being complicated. Things don't get too childish and it is all easy to follow. The story is hugely compelling and lively in pace without being rushed.
Baloo is very likeable as a character that one roots for, loved his hilarious line regarding the jail food. Wildcat adds a lot, while Molly grew on me significantly with every episode she appeared in and her situation charming and relatable. Love her chemistry with Wildcat which carries the episode beautifully.
Voice acting is very good from particularly Pat Fraley. Molly is nicely voiced too.
All in all, a favourite. 10/10 Bethany Cox
