History[edit]
Development[edit]
The concept was formerly called only "FluffleForce" supposedly made to be a replica of Universal Kids' original program Powerbirds as it were to be targeted to an even older audience. The other works that inspired the series were mostly web cartoons (such as Battle for Dream Island) and modern TV cartoons targeted for younger audiences (such as PJ Masks and Henry Hugglemonster). Made from a shower thought (as revealed in the channel's 2nd anniversary video), the original idea was created way back in July 23, 2020, wherein the two main characters were formerly two furred alien siblings named Zippy and Puffy. The characters were rather supernatural creatures than animals, the earlier concepts had Mishap McSlap being a cockroach-like monster, Flare Skull being a lizard-like monster, Athena supposedly being a villain. An old animation test connected with Mighty Tales was created on Synfig Studio, featuring a superhero ferret named Fibou (who eventually became Rulley Sulley). On the beginning of 2021, the concept had to be revamped and changed several times due to it being unoriginal. Unfortunately, it was too similar to another children's show called "Team Umizoomi" already in existence, down to the character roles, character designs, color schemes, and theme music. Even if the creator was aware that it was only a coincidence, something needed to be improved. On January 2021, proposal was given redesigns as a result of the comparative analysis. All of the characters' designs were changed to non-fictional animals.
Throughout the creator's struggles in online class and gaining depression from the dramatic events of a certain fandom, Mighty Tales was kept as a scrapped series until mid to late 2021. where GizziGekko joined the Unofficial Milky Way server. This has lead her to be inspired by the works done in Scratch and endeavor doing the same thing Corey did. Elements from Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls influenced the production of the web series, including the soundtracks, characters and references. Mighty Tales Official, which was launched in December 2021, is the official channel for the animated show. The cartoon is usually animated using Scratch, whereas its intro was animated using Flipaclip.
In late December 2022, the creator has revealed that she has a plan for a new episode, and there will be episodes that will not follow the same plot structure afterwards, since it reveals that she wants to make Mighty Tales "her own thing" and "her own show with her own rules" [1]. However, due to Gekko's unmotivation, it was decided to keep the series on a hiatus until June 2023.
Trivia[edit]
- The series shares several comparisons with the Disney Junior cartoon "PJ Masks".
- The creator is most likely a fan of the said show, considering her username and sona represent Gekko, who is a main character of PJ Masks.
- Unlike PJ Masks, which the show is also inspired by, TMTFF does not have any morals intended, and rather focuses on the conflict that the heroes and villains are involved in.
- Blue Spark is similar to Catboy, and Wing-Z is similar to Owlette.
- All of the episode names have alliterations.
- The whole series, technically in its finalized version, is inspired by hoppingicon's fan series of Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls.
