Inspector Gadget was and still is one of my favorite cartoons from the 80s.
There has been a lot of remakes and follow ups including movies (the movies sucked by the way).
Nothing comes close to the original series from, i beleive 1983.Inspector Gadget was and still is one of my favorite cartoons from the 80s.

Inspector Gadget is a throwaway, inoffensive flick from Disney that I think Walt wants everyone to forget about. The kids will think it's cool with all it's eye candy, but more mature viewers will look past that, and find that there's nothing there.

Inspector Gadget ends up being a dull experience instead of being a great one like in the 1983 cartoon. Hey, at least with Inspector Gadget, we finally learned one lesson: Poorly-made remakes are bad, cancel them immediately.

Please, Disney. Stick with your animations, not preposterous reboots of inane TV series.

I seriously don't get it with this tired remake of Inspector Gadget. What did Disney done wrong was trying to make an iconic 80's cartoon into a blatant ripoff of Get Smart. Although I love the Youngstown Disney version of "I'll Be YourI seriously don't get it with this tired remake of Inspector Gadget. What did Disney done wrong was trying to make an iconic 80's cartoon into a blatant ripoff of Get Smart. Although I love the Youngstown Disney version of "I'll Be Your Everything," the rest of the movie is ugh... absolute torture. Not even Matthew Broderick of all people tried and failed miserably as the detective with a whole lot of bumbling "Go Go Gadget" jokes and adding sexual references and violence that were so offensive, it is not suitable for anyone who is growned up in the 90's neither the Disney kiddies. I think this and Broderick had it wrong with a casting choice that includes D.L. Hughley and Michelle Trachtenberg (wasn't she supposed to be on Nickelodeon?). Also, the script is pointless, bad acting, focuses on too much comic humor. Even worse, in the cartoon, the Gadgetmobile doesn't actually talk. In the movie, playing a talking Gadgetmobile is wrong or maybe because it's worser than Godzilla's roar in the 98 version. Do us all a favor Disney and stop giving these cartoon remakes a chance.… Expand
