Why Is Gadget So Celebrated? He's Dumb, he never gets anything done right!

Shame on you Mr.Gadget for all your failures, If I need a Man with a Helicoptor in his Head I will Call you but for now, I bid you Adieu

Maybe because his show was a straight spoof of all the spy flicks, it was funny, and it rocked! A dog and a girl that was always smarter than the so-called hero, a criminal organisation with a Blofeldish leader, and enough gadgetry to make Q, R, Smithers, and Donatello all jealous. It even had Don Adams (from Get Smart) play Inspector Gadget. How can you not love a man who has it all, Go Go Gadget Copter, Go Go Gadget Laser, Go Go Gadget Arms, Go Go Gadget Cuffs, Go Go Gadget This, Go Go Gadget That. Penny and Brain even had their own gizmos, commumications wristwatch/dog colar and Penny's computer book. Not to mention the GadgetMobile, the car was one of those icons, Alec Sects has his G-6155 Intercepter, James Bond has his Aston Martin, BatMan has the BatMobile, and Inspector Gadget has a vehicle that can be either a van or a cop car at the shift of a gear stick. And who could forget those notes that would always blow up in Chief Quimby's face "This message will self-destruct in thirty seconds"

I am not afraid to admit that when I was a child and saw Inspector Gadget, I decided to give it a shot, you know, creating my own Gadget persona. Ah the memories.

You know... as bad as it is, I REALLY want to see it. It's unfair that the Damn thing dosen't come here, but we get a second Sabrina the Teenage Witch show (BOOOOOO!!!!!)

Don is pretty old, and I've heard Maurice's Gadet before (In fact, he's been voicing Gadget ever since the Christmas Special from 1993, but Alternating with Don)

However, Inspector Gadget's Feild trip is being rerun. it's very bland, and it doesn't satisfy my gadget fix, but they do work in a lot of "Get Smart" refferences.

I saw the animate Movie (actually, I have the DVD... a christmas present) it wasn't as good as the original series, but it was leaps and bounds over the Damn Disney version... they didn't even get the name of the TOWN right (Riverton my shell.... it's METROCITY named after the town from AstroBoy, I assume) Oy Vey... and Mathew Broderrick? What were they thinking (Clearly It had to be Tony Shaloub)

And what's this DVD of which you speak? Region 1? When?

This is blasphemy. My childhood is barrel-rolling in its grave. To this day, I still quote "I'll get you next time, Gadget! NEXT TIME!" in Dr Claw-fashion whenever I am thwarted.

Bastardizing Inspector Gadget (the live-action movies aside) is bad enough, but heaven help me if anyone dares touch the brilliance that is Dangermouse.

Tony Shaloub... he would've been an awesome Gadget.

Heh... Dangermouse ruled...

*Drtooth* · 05-21-2004, 01:04 PM

I wouldn't worry so much about a Bastardised Inspector Gadget.... I mean, they already did that. It's called "Gadgetboy and Heather." YUCK!

*Anarchistguy* · 05-21-2004, 02:37 PM

I remember that show...GOOD LORD!!! if only I could vomit online...

~~Jarrah White~~ · 05-21-2004, 04:34 PM

Gadget Boy?! That's news to me!

I know! Why do people produce these horrible remakes of classic, holy shows? I used to watch that show religiously! My cousin bought a hermit crab last year just so he could name it Dr. Claw! Disney, you monster! Is there nothing you hold sacred, you souless beast!?

You took the words out of my mouth!

What they hold sacred is their amusement parks and hordes of money. I used to respect Disney, because they had some classic...CLASSIC movies in the past, and their art for the cartoon movies was really good, but they've been slipping up lately.

*Anarchistguy* · 05-21-2004, 04:52 PM

So far, the only "remake" that's considered good is TMNT 2003, brought to us by 4Kids. of all companies...

Their art was unsurpassed by almost if not any studio in the world. Walt Diseny was a very respectable man; however, the people who took over for him were evil sacks of crap.

~~Jarrah White~~ · 05-21-2004, 04:54 PM

Can you imagine what Turtles would be like if Disney got ahold of it...?

愛 · 05-21-2004, 04:55 PM

Wasn't a lot of the art done by Korean artists? Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I remember Voltron telling me something about that.

*Anarchistguy* · 05-21-2004, 04:56 PM

That's right, Ai. It's made by Dong Woo aniimation.

Yeah, and ALL of Disney's animated movies are basically the same story but with different characters...

愛 · 05-21-2004, 05:02 PM

I see. Yeah, those guys are incredible. But then they started incorporating CG into these movies. Now, I'm all for CG, but it doesn't always work along with animated films. I've seen it done well in a few animes, but only because it was a futuristic anime and it was well-worked into the animation.

*Anarchistguy* · 05-21-2004, 05:06 PM

Yep...I too started to notice that CGI is being used in 2D animation. Most of the time it looks cheap.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-21-2004, 08:33 PM

Inspector Gadget...one of THE greatest cartoons ever, no contest, and whilst I HATE "Gadget Boy", which was retarded BEYOND forgivness, I LIKED the first film, and "Gadget's Last Case"

"Gadget and the Gadgetinies" is'nt THAT bad, but it sure as hell ain't the Inspector Gadget we like, or expect, from Disney

Yes, they'd resolve all their problems through music and dance.
