TaleSpin
If there was a moral of this show, it was that capitalism eventually comes for us all. I don’t know what missteps led Baloo the Bear from a life in the jungle relying on just the ‘bare necessities’ to being a full time cargo pilot, but as a kid, I didn’t really care. Not only did Disney’s TaleSpin deliver a theme song that still slaps, but it also had some of the best aerial action a burgeoning aviation enthusiast could ask for. I was especially obsessed with episodes featuring air pirate Don Karnage and his Iron Vulture: a flying aircraft carrier that, for me, was a precursor to the Helicarriers in the Marvel movies.
