if you be view this show for the first time and you may start wonder if you be in an alternate reality . colorful and imaginative character . entertain dialogue . plot that seem to have some depth to them and even create atmosphere of suspense and drama at time . i mean and this be a syndicated child show right . this be the same venue that have bring kid such drek a pokemon and pepper ann and mighty morphin power ranger and and vr trooper ( please note that three of the title mention above be crass japanese export and courtesy of the fox network and saban entertainment ) . don not worry and you be just sample some of the quality fare that be available to kid during the late 1980 and early 1990 . some example of this period would be transformer and garfield and friend and captain power and and c. o. p. s. ( a cartoon not to be confuse with the live action show on fox ) . besides these prime example and disney also return to syndicate program for kid and come up with a lineup call the disney afternoon . aside from a dumbed down show call the gummi bear and early show like darkwing duck and duck tale and and chip n dale rescue ranger give credence to the disney animation team that be also turn out theatrical classic like the little mermaid and beauty and the beast and the rescuer down under and and the great mouse detective . but above all these wonder shin talespin . the premiere of plunder and lightning be a two hour thrill ride and and win an emmy . much to my delight and the rest of the episode be up to par on the promise of the premiere . while i enjoy the plot and dialogue and i guess for me the great attraction be the character . there rebecca cunningham and an independent female and but still fallible while kit cloudkicker and full of pre teen angst and optimism while louie and with his loyalty and support while frank wildcat and the most entertaining engineer since scotty on the original star trek while molly cunningham and cute and witty and but with some depth that most child character do not have and and of course in the middle of it all and there baloo and whom i would describe a a slobby version of james bond . this be because whenever there trouble and baloo save the day with the assistance of his sleeker than most and fast of all sea duck ( read represent james bond aston martin ) . of course every great show have to have great villain and and talespin doesn not disappoint here either . from the megalomania of businesstiger shere kahn and to the vain and always fail air pirate don karnage and to the hilarious and inept soviet satirized thembrians . the animation be good and the music appropriate and and the episode be ( for me ) the fine that child program have ever have to offer . great fun for the whole family .
