Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas

Oh what a terrible Christmas special that was. What do you get when you dump the famous TV theme, replace at least two voice actors, and get entirely new composers, why, this crap.

You know, I pulled up a copy of it on Youtube to verify a thing or two when I sent in goofs for the IMDb page of it, and I noticed something else:

Doug points out Santa has an under ground dungeon and why would Santa have that? I'd also note it's a LARGE dungeon (just how many people is Santa anticipating imprisoning?).

But I noticed when Brain comes to rescue them, he first looks to his right at a place we can't see, indicating there's was something there to look at, indicating to me there was another dungeon down there.


It's even wierder when you think about it. Why is it underground? Is Santa trying to hide the fact he's imprisoning people? From who? The happy elves? The reindeer?

Why does the grate on the production room floor have a slide tunnel down there? Is this something Santa needs to trick people so he can imprison them? Is this where naughty elves go? Or elves who ask for pay?

And notice it's a drain grate, so does that mean they rinse off the floor periodically and it all drains down into the dungeon where unfortunately prisoners have to deal with it?

There's no toilet in it.


And come to think of it, why does Santa's workshop have a large end of days thick metal doom door? Who is Santa trying to keep out?


Comebine that with his odd watch tower that seems more like a prison yard watch tower, this is one creepy Santa this Christmas special presented to us.
