DVD Reviews of Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas
DVD Review: Seven Years Later, Gadget Is Back...To Save Christmas!
Summary: 4 Stars
Seven years after the original series ceased its original run, "Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas" was released as a prime-time special in December 1992.
Gadget is back (and still voiced by Don Adams), and this time, he has to rescue Santa and his hypnotized elves from his old adversary, Dr. Claw. It's up to Gadget, with some help from his niece Penny and loyal dog Brain, to put a stop to his plot to give Santa a bad name.
Most revival series, specials and movies aren't usually up to par, but this one is actually pretty good. Gadget fans will appreciate the similarites between this special and the original series, as opposed to the live-action movie with Matthew Broderick.
Pros:
*Gadget is still voiced by Don Adams.
*Most of the reoccuring gags are still used such as the exploding message, lines such as "Chief, is that you? ...you're where?" Also, Gadget still uses most of his original gadgets: gadget handcuffs, gadget copter, gadget legs, and so on.
*Penny and Brain are still a significant part of the episode.
*Three additional episodes from the series are included with the special: "The Weather in Tibet", "So It Is Written" and "Birds of a Feather"
Cons:
*Unlike the original series, the music for the special was not by Haim Saban & Shuki Levy, but the music is still good nonetheless. (Although there is really nothing that can compare with the original score of the show.) Naturally, the three extra episodes' music are by Saban/Levy so that should be some consolation.
*This Christmas special was a bit more light-hearted than the original series, but it doesn't seem to take away from the charm of the show.
Overall, any Gadget fan would enjoy this. Hopefully, DiC will continue to release additional episodes of the original series.
