I like the show. I think it's decently funny. The characters are cute, the humor is snappy, and the art is nice. My favorite characters are Hawkodile and Richard.
Unikitty's temper is a unique quirk.

I’m hoping that if/when Talespin is re-released on Blu-ray as more than a barebones release, that they’ll have a special on how it was conceived.

This reminds me that many of the Disney Afternoon series have their remaining episodes not on DVD. DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale, Darkwing Duck. I don't think Disney cares about home video for TV anymore. Still waiting for Gravity Falls complete series too.

Speaking of Disney and home video, I had a discussion about that once on the internet somewhere and I think with a lot of studios, like Warner Bros, they'll release stuff on dvd like old TV shows and things more out of preservation of history than they really think they'll make a huge profit.
But Disney is probably the most profit driven studio, so they don't release nearly as much on dvd, particularly when it comes to TV.

I don't think kids care about buying physical media for their shows, could be wrong about that. Everything is streamed and digital to them in this era. Nickelodeon is a flip-flopper as well, only reason we been seeing Nicktoons rereleased is because they are now marketed as nostalgia and reruns are on Teennick's Splat schedule at nighttime.

That's so incredibly depressing.

I never watched them as a kid, but my friend had some special TV box thing, that let her watch this channel called Cubo, and they had He-Man and She-Ra on there, as well as some other cartoons like BraveStarr. I was probably wayyyyy past the age to truly be able to get into them, but they were fun to watch casually every now and then, lol. Bravestarr's probably the better of Filmation's 80s lineup. Not entirely sure myself. I love Filmation, but I got the feeling that after He-Man ended they kept trying to recapture lightning in a bottle. Bravestarr started out amazing, (speaking as someone who owns both the DVD sets and the movie) but it simultaneously represents everything that studio did right AND everything they did wrong--one episode would be amazingly dark in ways that make Batman TAS look tame (like one with this alien who can't breath New Texas' atmosphere, and Tex Hex thinks nothing about cutting off his air supply and nearly suffocating him), but then others would be outright retreads of He-Man episodes (there's four based on He-Man's "Double-Edged Sword" which was about a guy who became a pacifist after he accidentally crippled a friend while trying to be cool with a laser) or just kinda too glurgy ("Jeremiah and the Prairie People," which is also based on a He-Man episode). Probably the best example is the Sherlock Holmes 2-parter. The first half represents the best of Filmation, then the second half is the worst. It was also a not-really-disguised backdoor pilot (Filmation must've really thought Bravestarr would take off because they also produced a pilot for a new show that starred the Prairie People). I kinda feel like they should have focused more on the show they were already making rather than trying to jumpstart a franchise and plan spin-offs before the main show was itself guaranteed... which, I'm honestly kinda sad Bravestarr never took off, because all the flaws I saw are things they could've improved upon in a second season and it might've been revolutionary, but... well maybe there's a parallel universe somewhere where that happened. ..... While we're here: Filmation's Ghostbusters (the animated one... the live action one is "So Bad Its Good") is one of the more underrated cartoons in existence from any decade, right up there with Highlander Animated, Battletech, Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates, and really any 90s cartoon not made by Warner, Disney, or Nick.

I somehow ended up seeing a lot of that Peter Pan cartoon as a kid. Not sure I'd exactly say it was good, but I guess it passed the time. Better than old Hanna Barbera stuff, at least.

The Filmation's Ghostbusters cartoon confused me so much as a kid, I remember renting a tape of it thinking it had something to do with, ya know, Ghostbusters.
It had a pretty catchy theme song though.

Yeah, it and Bravestarr's themes both are stuck in my head.
Neither are as good as the best eighties cartoon theme song tho... David the Gnome. "In every wish and dream and happy home..."
