After the success of the first two Disney Afternoon shows, Gummi Bears and Duck Tales, it was time to produce a third show. Work began in 1988, and the first idea presented by [[Tad Stones]] and his team was to base it on the 1977 animated feature ''The Rescuers''. However, this idea was discarded on request by Jeffrey Katzenberg who had just begun to work on the sequel ''The Rescuers Down Under'' which was to hit the theaters in 1990.
