Oh man, now you have me itching to watch this show again. It was one of my faves back in the day. Putting Jungle Book characters in 50's-esk planes was a stroke of genius and Shere Khan as a Lex Luther type character was too perfect, though I also really liked Don Karnage.
I like what this story does, despite having planes, by separating everything into smaller islands makes for a fun, diverse world yet still restricts the main characters by forcing them to island hop so they could travel far or be isolated really easily with plenty of backdrops for writes to explore and play with.
The Hobo story reminded me of Spartacus... Except with a happier ending. However, it must have taken a lot of work to convert a bailer/wood-chipper into a non-lethal device. ^_- Though I'd rather that than see a Disney comic turn someone into salsa.
If you want a story of feeling old, the other day I mentioned VHS and a VCR to someone and they had no idea what I was talking about, it was sort of surreal.
Thanks for posting this up, though now I'll have to fight the urge to hunt down these DVD's. :)
