#inspectorgadget #mustache #comparison
I can already hear the animator. "Really?!?! You want me to redraw this just to remove the mustache?!?! You know how long this took?
Actually because there a similar character, named Inspector Clouseau (live action, cartoon) from Pink Panther and the Inspector
The main character has a mustache in the very first episode, "Gadget in Winterland", but the rest of the episodes has no mustache.
Maybe the mustache was in a different layer, so it went way faster
@@SKIMER Imagine Drawing only a moustache in different layers.
Yup. That’s why the second one looks rushed. Notice the lack of details on the buildings and coloring and cutting one of the more complex sequences flying over the boat to replace it with Penny spinning against no background whatsoever.
The reason his moustache was removed after the first episode, was so they can avoid MGM studios suing them because he looked too similar to Inspector Clouseau.
Plus, would you leave custody of a girl to a man with that mustache?

Everyone's talking about the mustache and here I am thinking about why in the beginning scene the buildings were better drawn in the pilot or why some of the scenes were exchanged with others.
or that the first penny scene was recycled instead of just reusing that ski scene
Well. Pilots are meant to deminstrate a studio whatbyour shpw is capable of. Most pilots have top notch animation, backgrounds, details, etc. Etc.
The buildings: Animation Cost
The prototype always has everything you would like it to have, but the final product requires you to cut some things out or simply then to make them more financially feasible. You gotta remember people had to draw then out and animate them by hand.
@@rubensalter6987 There is no reason they had to redraw everything to remove a mustache, this is cell animation, just remove the cells for the mustache.
Perhaps it is to keep the style of the opening similar to the actual show? It would look somewhat odd if only the opening had highly detailed buildings.
As for the opening in general, it doesn't explain the reason for the girl appearing. The regular opening shows the girl using a watch to interact with the dog to help the detective. The pilot shows the girl with a book that has to do with the vehicle and that is it. How does she relate to the detective?
Changes:
They removed the moustache.
They made the city at the start more cartoonish.
They removed some scenes.
They rendered it different.
They also show the side characters a bit more.
The main character has a mustache only during the winter episode.
They also add in some sences
@@amymiller6433 _!&
He Actually Shaved After The Pilot
For some reason
Inspector Gadget with a mustache = Extremely serious, never falls for any tricks or traps, deeper voice, always gets his man with no help from Penny and Brain.
Inspector Gadget sans mustache = Goofy and clumsy Inspector we all know and love.
The mustache must house some of his brain cells!
Yeah but mustache Gadget also probably takes a pull from a bottle of Jack every morning, isn't afraid to shake and back hand a hysterical woman. But he's down to two packs of smokes a day now.
@@RoninCatholic brain cell... Or USB.

@@SaltPyramids you can’t it’s just a meme
Somehow the mustache make him look more reliable.
You mean more RELATABLE. How can you rely on a nonliving or fictional character?
@@OliveOyl12590 in the show smh
Probably because in the pilot he WAS reliable. He was still bumbling but he was more competent than his usual portrayal.
@@OliveOyl12590 Reliable: consistently good in quality or performance. So yes, fictional character can be reliable.
Besides, why would I feel anything relatable to anyone just because they have a mustache?
That’s probably another reason why they got rid of it
Interesting note - it appears that the pilot used a green background for the title shot, while the series opted for a more brownish color, similar to that of some sort of brick.

They really screwed the pooch hard in 99 when they brought on Broderick for the Disney real life film. I remembered cringing through the whole thing frustrated that they would screw up this character so much. Not to mention the poor version of the gadget mobile.
They did okay on the theme, but this just felt so much more mature and professional.

Inspector Gadget vs Shaggy...
When the pilot episode, entitled "Winter Olympics," was re-aired as episode 65, "Gadget in Winterland," right before Chief Quimby gives Gadget his first assignment, a few lines were re-dubbed by Cree Summer and Frank Welker to address the purpose for Gadget's mustache. Also, in the latter version, the standard opening and closing credits were used.
In the pilot version, the lines are as follows.
Penny: "Uncle, are you sure that Chief Quimby doesn't know where you are?"
Gadget: "Of course, Penny. I'm taking one week's vacation, and I'm absolutely, completely, and totally off-duty."
In the later version, the lines have been re-dubbed as follows.
Penny: "You know, uncle, I really like your new mustache."
Gadget: "Thanks, Penny. It's so that nobody will recognize me. I'm on vacation -- absolutely, completely, and totally off-duty."

I feel like the original has better timing in some places, and I love the entrance to Dr. Claw's lair. Too bad they changed it.
There's also the fact Dr. Claws castle hideout was actually destroyed at the end of the pilot episode, but was mysteriously back to normal in subsequent episodes, unless he had an identical-looking HQ somewhere else and/or it got rebuilt brick by brick.

I didnt know he had a mustache before. Personally i'm used to him _without_ a mustache. But i cant deny he looks funny with one now XD Wonder though why they removed it óu0
Maybe creators of "pink panther" sued them? (the original one from 1970's and not that shitty remake)
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/18/95/59/189559d9b6856073cf872e3ae6b7559a.jpg
They did. MGM told DiC that Gadget looked too similar to Inspector Clouseau and they needed to remove the mustache off Gadget to prevent any trouble.
TheDiamondDude Oh well, he works either way :D
The truth is hard to hear... The left has been trying to vilify everything they can get their hands on... a Moustache, is one of the ways to make men less than what real men are, it's a demoralization tactic. Please, just read about demoralization tactics.

0:24 Pilot Inspector Gadget is missing his gloves.
GOOF
because what is the intro about? M.A.D stole his gloves
Good eyes there
Lol
Now he is just INSPECTOR
0:21 why does this sound make it better?
Because it fits with the scene AND the soundtrack.
You know what's bugging me? I love both versions equally but seeing the ending reminded me that we still haven't seen what the original MAD culprit looked like even over two decades later.

Thank you random citizen
I've always thought Gadget's face looked a bit too funny, but now it makes so much sense. I had no idea he originally had a mustache and looking at it, it looks so much better.
I'm used to seeing Gadget without a stache so seeing him sport one activates my flight or fight mode/joking

I'm better than you, so I should write the comment
As classic as the series version is, I love the way the pilot version tells a complete little story with nice flow from scene to scene
Plus the buildings look better in the pilot intro
Ahhhhh,the old days,no work,no school,just staying at home and watching gadget
Cool. :)
Ha, that's the only thing you can do now in 2020
You do that in 2020 no work,no school you just watch and play gadgets
We have the 2015 version by Teletoon on Netflix.
0:39-0:48 I love the way the instrumental sounds here. It gives a very pleasant nostalgic feeling, although, in truth, I have never even watched this show
There’s something about a good mustache that creates the illusion of character depth.
I somewhat remember Inspector Gadget having a mustache. I think either Nickelodeon or The Family Channel aired the pilot episode once.
I do remember seeing the pilot on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Even then, I could tell it had to be the very first show they did.
I think the last episodes he had mustache & he was smarter XD
In syndication, the pilot is put right at the end of the first season episodes as episode 65.
Galax Undertaker same here
You saw the pilot
YOUR A BEAST
The best part about this is that someone had to spend the next few months doing nothing but erasing the mustaches from inspector gadget
The reason for why they removed the mustache was that the animators had a harder time making facial expressions when they had to draw around the mustache.
And also because MGM told them to remove the mustache since it looked too similar to Pink Panther's Inspector Clouseau.
Could've been both. The mustache could've already made it hard to draw expressions and then some one pointed out the similar look and they decided to remove it.
Captain Comics actually I think it had to do with an issue between DIC and MGM.
Honestly, in some cases I would think it would make it easier. More mustache means less mouth to animate.
CobaltBW true but it's harder to animate hair when it's moving around in the show
LOL I love how the rattling sound from the theme being in sync with Gadgets turning the knobs from the safe.
*Inspector* *Gadget* went from *Inspector* *Luigi* to *Inspector* *Sinatra* with the removal of his *Inspector* *Clouseau* mustache...

It's a pity we won't see the differences any further(
Honestly I like both looks. I feel like the mustache version completes the look but without the mustache he looks goofyer.
I'm with team no mustache
Anyone else think the pilot was better? It had more happening in it.
If you like getting sued by MGM for making Inspector Gadget looking like Inspector Clouseau
+HyperSonicXtreme Ouch! Better have the fire department on speed dial!
yeah , the pilot intro had more gadget action , while the normal one had a few more scenes of brain and the car changing
IdeaBox9000
How is that a burn?
Nah, maybe the kids would try and jump in front of a car
I remember living in California and seeing the pilot before it was a series and telling people about the episode where he had a mustache, and for the longest time other kids thought I was making it up, and finally they showed the pilot as a regular episode.
I know how it feels
Being the only one to remember something
And then you tell people about it, and no one remembers it

According to Andy Heyward, he said, "We have a toy line, publishing, records, cassettes, books, puzzles, watches, video games, board game from Milton Bradley, we’re developing a live-action Inspector Gadget movie,” Heyward said. “You name it, we’ve got it. Plush dolls, comic books, sleep wear, lunch pails.”
Damn Gadget, nice 80's mustache!
I haven't seen "Inspector Gadget" since the late 90's/early 2000's when it was on Nickelodeon. It's really overdue that I give it a watch again...
It was Nickelodeon?
Apart from the glaringly obvious difference of facial hair (as noted numerous times) and the various totally different scenes of Gadget pursuing MAD, there are many small differences: gold trim on the metal shutter door in the pilot and silver in the final, the floor and the trim in the room with the safe, and a green background for the title rather than orange.
Also in the pilot opening the animators forgot to put gloves on Gadget after he comes out of the wardrobe.
A traffic light can also be seen with the skyscrapers in the beginning of the pilot's intro.
Justin Hill in fact the whole background is completely different!
Also, the sound effect of Gadget's suit inflating has been removed (0:39 and 0:46)
the series: inspector gadget
the pilot: it's a me Mario
I swear to god, the French version with lyrics added is fire
Yes
This feels like a speedrun comparison
"And he should have a moustache"
"Ohh i see too look more like a classic detective"
"Yes not at all to save on mouth movement animation"

this was such an iconic show for me as a kid 😭
brings back some hard nostalgia.
The Pilot actually shows a complete story as opposed to the rather disjointed scene we get in the series.
Also, they spent most of their budget on Penny turning around. lol
This is the comment I was looking for
I... Feel like I enjoy the intros to these shows much more than the shows themselves. I find the music is where the memories are and I remember less than no storylines, and even if I did watch it, I'd probably get bored and that's such a shame, nothing like 90s cartoons
I like how they updated it so the lockpicking was in sync with the music
It's hilarious how frames of Animation are so superior than Henry Cavill edit Moustache
It’s a cartoon of course it’s gonna look better
Some of these shots make me think Inspector Gadget was originally meant to be an anime.
lol
Anime Director Hayao Miyazaki animated it.
Actually the animation work was made in Japan. It even had Shingo Araki as Animation Director for several episodes.
The early inspector gadget looks like the later inspector gadget in disguise
Cuz They never Censored the episode so it was Redubbed
He looks pretty good with a mustache
I don't know who to choose either mustache inspector gadget or no mustache inspector gadget.

We were robbed of that glorious stache
I always wondered why that one episode was so different. IIRC he's actually relatively competent in that episode. Kinda wish they had stuck with that version of him.
In my own opinion, I don't think that Gadget is as dumb as it appears. I think that what gives that appearance is that Gadget tends to be a bit myopic. He gets so focused on one aspect of a case that he doesn't notice other important information.
This was a factor in the movie "A Shot in the Dark". Clouseau is so convinced of the innocence of the main suspect in the crime that he doesn't notice much of what is going on around him, including the deaths of some people.
This is what happens when you watch the recent SiIvagunner rips... pure Inspector Gadget
Moustache with Gadget
0:37 Can we just appreciate how fluid this looks? Guess they didn't because they sped it up in the final version!
Also, the T-pose water exit must've been too much for the producers to handle.
I dunno, I think they were proud of it considering they used it twice in the final product.
I've suspected that as well. Nick did a similar thing when they first acquired Inspector Gadget, coincidentally, around the same time the original Nicktoons premiered. Nick ran a few promos more or less stating (or at least hinting in a less-than-subtle way) that Gadget was the 4th Nicktoon and "their" property. I remember one spot in which they all but declared Inspector Gadget a Nicktoon. There was also a Capri Sun tie-in series of Nicktoons trading cards the channel released featuring all 3 of the then Nicktoons Doug, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rugrats, the live-action children's show Eureeka's Castle...and Gadget.
Fun fact some Knock off Gadget toys still had the moustache
My science teacher loves this show I can see why XD
0:13-0:15 I LOVED HOW THE TRASH CAN LID CLOSES ON BEAT💯👌 GOOD OL DAYS🙂
If Batman and Lupin III had a lovechild.
This has been in everyone's recommended at some point in time.
I love how the timing on the animation is off just enough (with sometimes the pilot pulling ahead and sometimes the series intro pulling ahead) between the two that the x-ray explosion of the chief in the safe happens in one, then the other.
The mustache definitely gives the character a different feel. It's hard to say what kind of changes it would make.
I'm having a LOT of fun
