Inspector Gadget

“Inspector Gadget” is an animated TV series that follows the escapades of a bumbling, not-so-bright cyborg detective named Inspector Gadget, who is equipped with an array of bionic devices integrated into his body. His main adversary is Dr. Claw, the head of a nefarious organization called “M.A.D.”

This show marks the first syndicated cartoon from DIC Entertainment. It originally aired from 1983 to 1986 and continued to be broadcast in syndication well into the late 1990s. The series remains popular in reruns globally.

The production was a collaborative effort involving companies from France, Canada, the United States, Taiwan, and Japan. It was co-produced by DIC Entertainment in France and Nelvana in Canada, with animation tasks delegated to international studios like Tokyo Movie Shinsha in Japan and Cuckoo’s Nest Studio in Taiwan. Notably, it was the first animated TV series to be presented in stereo sound.
