Contacting Boom Studios for Talespin comics

[steet]

As you know, a comic book company will release new Darkwing Duck comics, starting from June.

If you notice the press releases, the fact that made Boom Studios decide to turn the new Darkwing Duck comics into an ongoing series instead of a 4-issue was the fact that there was a "tremendously positive fan support".

So, I'm thinking : if we really do want them to make a Talespin comics, it wouldn't hurt to let them KNOW we DO want them to make some, right? They're currently making an awesome job with Darkwing Duck (see the previews here : www.newsarama.com/php/multimedia/album.php?aid=34871), and they would surely do great things with Talespin too.
We may not have too many occasions like that. So, I would really like if each of you would send an email to Boom Studios.

Their email address is : [e-mail]

You can also try to reach them using their contact page : blog.boom-studios.net/contact/ , though I'm not sure the emails are really sent (nothing happens after clicking the send button)
Finally, they also do have a forums (strangely, it tooks me almost 2 months to notice it...) : forums.boom-studios.net/ It was nice to see that someone else already asked them about that...

We have nothing to lose, right? And it will only take one minute of your time. Can you DO IT?

One of the VERY main reasons Tale Spin was pulled from The DVD process (why we never got volume three) is because of the lawsuit held against the company by the family of Louis Prima (Voice of King Louie in the jungle book)

Prima's family was never paid royalties for The Likeness of his character or the release of The Jungle Book on DVD.

Ironically, even though he didn't provide the voice in tale spin. It was still his likeness and an impression of his voice was used. Disney and Prima's wife settled out of court on the promise that they could no longer use the king louie character or anybody resembling him or his voice. Which is why they put a Halt on the final DVD. So the only way the could go forward with a new comic is if they eliminated King Louie all together. (Also why the he wasn't in The Jungle Book 2)

Interesting fact: On an episode of Disney's House of Mouse. There was character that was described as King Louie's brother, King Larry. So there's always a way they could use him.

I REALLY don't think the lawsuit is a problem there.

1. We're talking about comics there. So there is no voice involved. I don't think the problem is on the character itself, it's on the voice. So, if Disney decided to make a DTV for Talespin, it COULD be an issue. Not for comics.

2. That didn't prevent from releasing the Talespin DVDs. Even though the lawsuit issue happened way before that (House of Mouse and Jungle Book 2 were before that)

3. The Talespin volume 3 DVD wasn't discontinued because of that. All the Disney Afternoon DVDs were discontinued at the same time, alltogether, probably because "they didn't sell enough".

4. A simple proof : the character still appears in the Disney parks / shows. I went to Disneyland Paris a month ago and there was a shows with Louie *singing* "I wanna be like you", and I think it wasn't the original voice.

5. I would like to find an official source on the whole issue, because I don't trust Wikipedia 100%. I'm not even sure how it was solved or if it's still a problem currently.

This is a bit off topic to me...It doesn't prevent us from trying to reach them anyway.

I could go on a rebuttal here but there's really no point. You can either do research and get the actual facts. Or you can go on jaded opinion. The choice is yours.

[steet]

I already stated my point so I have nothing to add either. I did some more research which only comforts that this lawsuit is NOT a problem.

I'm just disappointing to hear that no one else seem to care about the future of Talespin. Do you really agree that we should just let go and do NOTHING??

I care about TaleSpins Future as well Steet.

Thats why I like trying to write TaleSpin stories, Me and a few others I know would give any thing well not litterly any thing, but would love to see it back just once more Kit Cloudkicker, Molly, Rebecca, Baloo and the gang should have another shot some day and, I personaly am trying to get on working for Disney as a Character actor,and my personal choise is Kit I don't care how hot I'd be I do my own charater Jeffery which his suit is just nearly the same as Kits and it doesn't bother me.

So no your not alone in this there is plenty of fans that want it back. and there is others that would just rather remenber the orginal. but me I'd love having it back, and to one day bring Kit back out at the park in Flordia that would be the happiest day of my life. cause I personaly seen they still care and I won't give up hope.

And what's with you work at Disney, Kit? Can we suppose you as our agent there?

[steet]

Ok, but then, did some of you actually contacted Boom Studios?

And yes, I'm also interested on how the Talespin characters are perceived by the Disney staff nowadays. I hope you will get to work there, but still keep in mind such dreams are rarely achieved, so don't be too much disappointed if you don't.
