The On A Sunny Disney Afternoon Facebook page contains four scans of memos for the TaleSpin series: Plunder and Lightning

https://www.facebook.com/pages/On-a-Sun ... 6782078116

My analysis of the scans are here just after my reaction to the Ducktales reboot: http://gregory-weagle.livejournal.com/341508.html

A couple of new credits that I have added to the cast & crew page; and some information on Plunder and Lightning Part One getting 20 retakes; plus the original plan Len Uhley pitched to the execs concerning the titling of the parts. I got a lot of stuff out of these four scans and Tim has said that more are to come.

When I found also them in this site, I was awed and amazed so much XD Another worth treasure for the fandom

Yeah I saw these! Very interesting
Also, very interesting to know about the budget, so it really was the most expensive TV series for its time?!

(and now look at how Disney is considering it... as if it never existed)

Wow, what an awesome find! I was especially interested in the titles proposed for P&L. "Luster Buster" and "A Stone's Glow" are fun, but I'm glad they decided to just go with P&L part 1, 2, etc. Makes for better continuity.

Wow, these things travel fast! :p
More to come. There will be decent scans (from these crude photographs) released in June/July of what I've shown in the link above. By then, I'll have a blog up and running that will go into more detail (I have to draw a line for the book, or each series would have its own book) with script studies, Production breakdowns, ...

There will probably be a new crowdfunding page, because I got many complaints afterwards that Indiegogo did not accept payments from a number of fans. But this time, I will have something to show for it (the blog, release of the first chapter, ...). Something that changed from the original plan: there will be more volumes. The reason is simple: I have too much information to span the first thirty years in one book. The first volume will -of course- be about TaleSpin, amongst other things. Previous backers get all volumes. (the few who got in early )

Oh, Gregory: Lenora Hume was an executive in Glendale, where she oversaw international production. She was in contact with all the different divisions all over the world and coördinated the overseas production at that time.

Wow, these things travel fast! :p

Well; when TaleSpin comes up, I usually go through stuff like this. I also did this with Gruel & Unusual Punishment concerning a memo Steet got concerning the voice actors and noticing Danny Mann as Colonel Spigot.



Thanks for the update Tim! And I thought the scan you provided for the Plunder and Lightning were clear enough for me to analyze. I'm joking around on this; but everytime someone spells TaleSpin as TailSpin, I always respond by saying: "What is this TailSpin people keep talking about? I do know there's TaleSpin from Disney, but what is this TailSpin cartoon? And why do people care about it?"




I wrote the analysis on my Livejournal before realizing that indeed she oversaw international production. I also found out that she is from Canada and her first big break was working with Nelvana, forcing me to change one of my 25 Years Of Spin post from The Nelvana Four to the Nelvana Five. I also had to change the title to the Tama Pro supplemental because they worked on four episodes instead of just one. Sadly; I'm going to have to make an edit to that article again because I originally thought Eiji Tanaka was working with Disney, but he passed away years before that deal was struck.

Haha, you are absolutely right! I usually don't write it like that. Must've been the late hour getting at me. The Facebook post does refer to the right name. (just to prove that I'm not a complete moron, just 3/4 )
