You know, it never occured to me before, but why were Bagheera and Kaa left out of Talespin? Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan were all in it

Bagheera doesn't show up, but Khan employees panther pilots that look like him.
Luke Parker
Because in a world where animals are treated like people, it'd be a pretty awkward situation for Kaa slithering around
Also he's got bad implications.
Noah Cruz
Well, Kaa's just a snake.
But Bagheera on the other hand is primarily in the Jungle Book because he's not only got to take care of Mowgli and get the kid to safety, but he's also the voice of reason among the heroes.
Talespin was more of a comedy adventure than a serious one; Baloo works better as the hapless hero/ ace pilot for this show to work. Bagheera would be a straight laced, hard working sort and would ruin the comedy aspects; he only has moments of incompetency because the other characters fuck something up.
It would seriously change the show's dynamic but *maybe* he could have worked as the actual boss of Hire for Hire and Becky and Baloo take turns screwing shit up, but that also pigeonholes Bagheera as a stick in the mud who either has to solve the problems everyone else caused or he yells at people until they get shit fixed.
Benjamin Collins
Why was Talespin even a Jungle Book series? The movie was about 30 years at the time and there wasn't anything recent you could adapt from.
That's like if you made a Oliver and Co. show today
Angel Morgan
With ducktales being brought back do you this show has a chance of being rebooted, maybe they fan even add lion king characters with the recent success of the movie
Oliver Morgan
They had a Louis Prima impersonation for Louie that was so good his widow sued.
Tyler Fisher
>Well, Kaa's just a snake.
Thaddeus E Klang was also "just a snake"
And I'm not saying that Kaa should also have had robotic attachments, I'm just saying that if one snake can find a way to work in the show, there could have been a way for Kaa to fit in as well
But your points on Bagheera make sense.
Caleb Hall
>That's like if you made a Oliver and Co. show today
Legitimately surprised that didn't happen.
Also, Jungle Cubs. That was a thing.
Samuel Morales
Bagheera could've been the falco of the group
Isaac Sanders
>A Lion King reboot of Talespin
You know, I don't hate this idea. It would be derivative, sure, but I can see it working. Scar would easily fill Shere Khan's niche.
Timon and Pumbaa could definitely work as mechanics or something
Bentley Davis
Cringe, Disney never allows characters from different franchises to be in the same show unless it's for a quick gag
Lincoln Nguyen
Be my guest. With the new age my Oliver x Dodger ship will come true
Chase Hall
Who gives a shit
Owen Wood
Jim Cummings is just that talented
Julian Edwards
Rebecca fills Bagheera's role
I like that idea (maybe include other Disney animal films like Bambi)
Elijah Wright
Because two big anthro cats generate homersexual energy
Michael Price
better question, why was Bagheera left out of Robin Hood?
Justin Bailey
>That's like if you made a Oliver and Co. show today
Which one would be gay
Easton Edwards
Oliver, we had homo side characters in recent years but never a homo protagonist, Disney would be breaking new grounds
Juan Bell
Kaa was busy with a Robin Hood sequel that got stuck in development hell when they were filming Tailspin
Ethan Gutierrez
OH SWELL, I'M SAVED BY BALOO!
Matthew Richardson
I still love this idea
Wyatt Evans
Jason Gray
Jace Bennett
A noir detective story? I kinda like it
Owen Ortiz
would be much better than the soulless remake crap
Elijah Nelson
Why use Lady and the Tramp when you have the Great Mouse Detective?
Evan Ward
What would Bagheera be like? Some straight laced retired RAF pilot from the war who used to fly with Baloo?
Kevin Perry
Dunno, hard boiled sherlock just doesn't seam right, a noir detective needs to be a bit more rough and tumble, sherlock (and thus basil) is too smart to make it work.
Aiden Russell
cause Great Mouse Detective is already a different genre of Detective story you dingus
Michael Anderson
Wasn't it because Eisner wanted them to use existing characters? That's why Chip and Dale were put in the Rescue Rangers.
