Don Karnage

Don Karnage is the dastardly
pirate from the classic Disney Afternoon line up
'TaleSpin.' He can also be found in the
television show 'Raw Toonage.' In video games he
can be found in the very challenging classic NES
title TaleSpin. Don Karnage was more of a staple
back when the TV show was on, but he could be
found in clothing, books, toys, and I evem have
a Don Karnage pin, which is one of my favorite
pins I have ever gotten. I always wished
TaleSpin would have gotten a movie even if it
was a straight to DVD film.
He is from Pirate Island and
often makes appearances in Cape Suzette. He has
many allies such as Ratchet, Mad Dog, Dumptruck,
Gibber, Fat Cat, and the rest of the villains in
the Disney universe. His enemies include Baloo,
Rebecca, Kit Cloudkicker, and the rest of the
Disney characters that fight against the forces
of evil.

Don Karnage is a wolf; he
wears grey boots, blue pants with a red sache
around his waste, he also carries a large sword
and wears captains jacket that is blue with
yellow and red colors on it. He is an evil
pirate, although not very intelligent.
*FUN FACT* Animators model him
after Desi Arnaz from 'I Love Lucy.'
He was voiced by the voice
legend Jim Cummings who has voiced characters
from shows and movies such as DuckTales, The
Hunchback of Notre Dame, Darkwing Duck, Bonkers,
Hercules, Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Chip
'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, Pocahontas, House of
Mouse, Gargoyles, and Goof Troop.

Don Karnage was once a meet
and greet character in Disney parks around the
world but he is now retired. I have heard you
can still see him on extremely rare events. He
could also be seen in Disney on Ice back in the
day. I would love to see Disney Afternoon make a
come back even if it was just re-runs people
would still tune in.
