got banned for life from the TaleSpin forums for suggesting that Baloo in TaleSpin is NOT the same bear as Baloo in The Jungle Book. People were screaming at me to shut the fuck up even though I provided EVIDENCE

What
Your cavalier commitment to standing up for injustice is without equal.
I can't express, adequately, the joy I always get from reading this post.
🤔
Plus the voice acting is hugely different but idk how nobody cares about that in pre simpsons animation
All bears must look alike to some of these folks.
#PawsForConcern
Kipling wrote the story & published in 1894.
Disney released an animated version in 1967.
Tailspin was released in 1990.
23 years in cartoon years, is like 10,000 human years of evolution…
Or you know, one is just the inspiration for the other. Simple.
They are playing us for fools.
Is there a TaleSpin forum site?
Wait what was the question
Maybe "Baloo" is just like "Michael" in bear culture.
Atleast you didn't fly off the handle when I corrected
Tale Spin Baloo wears a hat by default. Jungle book Baloo will only do it for an offensive disguise.
Why care about the paws at all. This is a wendys.
Tailspins would be his grandson.
Baloospin is anthro
Voilà !
*hides* }:D
PS - Of course they’re different bears! Either that or The Jungle Book was a fever dream he had while passed out in a drunken stupor at Louie’s🍺😵💫
I agree, those two are completely different characters.
...I'll see myself out
(and to thank them, because this show was an absolute institution of my childhood)
I'm not really sure why they changed in the first place, but to be honest I'm kinda glad they did. Baloo as a pilot is just funny.

Bonus info: The danish voice actors for Baloo, Louie, and Khan in Jungle Book were still available when the show aired, so we got the "original" cast.
Conclusion? A lot of bears just sound like Baloo in Disney.
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
For instance, in the whole of the Jungle Book, not one animal flies a plane.
In TaleSpin they've been doing it for so long they unfroze someone who was stuck in ice.
Definitely an alternate universe.
🤣
I also assumed Talespin Baloo was just inspired off of the Jungle Book. Baloo. Cuz ya know, they clearly live in other universes.

Specist and racist
They're INSPIRED by the Jungle Book as adapted by Disney, not the ACTUAL CHARACTERS in a new environment!
No worries, mate - you are safe here 🙏
A yonker is a young man.
Scultch is junk.
Wuzzle means to mix.
Seriously, they didn't make it up.
Yonker/Yonkers NY/jonker (dutch)
Sculch is clean trash, like paper
Kipling used Bagh for tiger for Bagheera (rude) and Shere Khan is like Persian and Mongol for tiger ruler.
or maybe my brain has simply decided she is an actor and a lesbian
Yeah, I dunno how either, I assume time travel must be involved.
But agreed, someone would have to reach further into the sci-fi closet than either those movies *or* fan explanations go to work that out.
"Surely not what I had in mind. 🤨"
R. Kipling
Pretty sure if you told them they both look the same, you'd get some disgruntled bear looks
"I mean, they aren't. Unless you want to imply that Baloo is a colonized Indian"
Really, though, it should just be obvious by how the movie is about actual animals and the show isn't.
Entirely different species of bear.
Also, Robin Hood robs from the rich to give to the poor, while Don Karnage robs from everybody and gives to himself.
