I grew up with this show, & had anything, 7 everything I could find, & buy, with my allowance related to it. I actually cried when they cancelled it. (All refers to Chip & Dale, Darkwing Duck, & Ducktales as well) It would be awesome if they could bring all those back, & at least finish all the stories out. Cartoons today are just strange, syupid, or dirty (some are). I left my TV on cartoon network a few days ago, just for the sake of it being on, & just about every show, or ad that came on the characters were screaming, doing stupid stuff, or were acting retard. I thought geez I'd not want my kids watching that. If there were good shows like Talespin, that actually had a good storyline, good family values, etc. I'd watch it, any time it was on, & I'm an adult. Mind you there are a few exceptions though. Like MLP:FIM, & the DC/Marvel shows, are pretty good now. Point being this coming back would make me feel like I was akid again.

Yep... it was 65 episodes. Period. If someone can convince Disney to make more, CALL ME! -Jymn-

Yes and no. Apparently it was already very difficult to make one series (remember that there were 4 pre-production and 5 animation production facilities involved in Talespin), and it seems they still wanted to make a new one every year.

But yes, some of them did get additional episodes - I do believe that the reason why Talespin didn't get was more due to schedule problems than anything else, because it was very successful at the time. (even if I believe Jymn stated that the merchandise wasn't selling as good as expected though)

I know that I hear that it wasn't canceled because they ordered a certain number of episodes; but since they didn't order anymore afterwards; that sounds like a cancellation to me.

As previously answered, it wasn't cancelled. Some people consider that ending a series at the peek of its glory is a good thing, although I still would have liked more episodes, especially since the series had so much potential...

Nowadays, I think they would want to keep the "popular" series as long as they can, and only ending it when it doesn't get enough viewers, but things were different back then.

And yes, it's quite disturbing that immediately after the series did not air anymore (1995), they did not make ANY efforts to keep it "alive". The same happened to all the Disney Afternoon TV series, but Talespin was even more affected. That, I will never understand, especially when these series were very, very popular at the time...And contrary to the Disney animated films, which are all very much alive and popular, even nowadays.

Oh, and he answered your question here:

It wasn't cancelled; they just had an order for 65 episodes. The same thing with DuckTales, although DuckTales had additional episodes made (which I thought weren't as good; the original 65 DuckTales episodes were the best).

That said, what bugs me is that Disney didn't acknowledge it enough afterwards. I remember it was almost impossible to find anything related to TaleSpin at the Disney store in the mid 90s. It'd be nice if they would acknowledge it like they still do Uncle Scrooge; it'd make me stay on the Disney bandwagon meaning more recognition and consumer spending on their products.

so far I heard that in the times where this series was created, their policy is 65 episodes, and not more, besides as many fans we wish it could be revived (in 2D of course)
