I just recently got a chance to talk to one of the associate producers of Talespin, Scott Wolf. No, not the same Scott Wolf who was in Party of Five and Scamp's voice from Lady & The Tramp 2.

I am obligated to do this. He runs a site called Mouse Clubhouse dedicated to the behind the scenes people at Disney. Mouse Clubhouse:
http://mouseclubhouse.com/index2.htm He also has a Facebook page for the site: http://www.facebook.com/mouseclubhouse

Here is the good part, here is some behind the scenes look at Talespin from an employee perspective.

Talespin: http://mouseclubhouse.com/photo-stories/2007-talespin/talespin.htm

I like the part at the bottom where he talks about My Fair Baloo, he is on the list, but she turned him down. Quote: "It's not very realistic though...I would have gone out with her."

Here is his interview with fellow producer Ed Ghertner: http://mouseclubhouse.com/Interviews/ed-ghertner/ed-ghertner-talespin.htm

I hope you all like it. I had to get permission from Scott himself to post these interviews.

Also, has anyone seen pictures of the Talespin crew at Disneyland in the early '90's.

I'm sure Baloo is out there somewhere. Becky looks okay, Karnage's design is just terrible.

Bye,

John Cuellar (Formerly Nikkifan1)

I've seen that Mouse Clubhouse website before. It was interesting to put faces to names that I've seen in the credits and get a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes action. It certainly looks more fun than my job.

Sure, I've seen these interviews and I have already talked a little to him too.
These are very interesting interviews nevertheless. I think the most interesting is this :

Quote:
Scott Wolf: Doing "TaleSpin" was pretty nuts for us because we had four Producers, four Assistant Producers, four prop designers, everything. We had a lot of difficulty with it. Great people, but a lot of difficulty, don’t you agree?

Ed Ghertner: I think all four Producers had their problems with it because there were so many people. We had to use everybody we could get our hands on. I think they pushed it into production faster than it should have been. It wasn’t locked down, there weren’t designs, there wasn’t a feel for the show yet. The story guys thought they had it but it really wasn’t, but it evolved into something that was okay.


I still think that, on the contrary, this is what HELPED the show getting so unique and so varied. If they had took more time to do it, I'm sure it would have been much more different and "formatted".

When I see all the big budget and big efforts Disney put into it, and how they badly consider it now, it's truly heart shattering. Why couldn't they support it throughout the years, like they supported "The Little Mermaid" for example? It was as successful at the time! (And now they won't even let a third party do a simple comic book, despite the success of other series...)


As for questions to ask him, I'll think of it and will let you know later.
