I wanted to show you guys what inspector gadget sounds like in my language which is Czech :^)!
I found one of the few episodes that are actually dubbed officially and gave it subtitles so it’s understandable for all haha. Also you can spot the difference between the words they use in the original and the ones they use in the translation because I expect it to not be the same so it fits the scenes better.
Anyways they also kept all character names the same so no translation for Gadget or Brain. They translated Chief of course but kept Quimby. Same goes for Penny.
After that scene, which I chose specifically because it includes all four main speaking characters together, i added a few examples of Gadget activating his gadgets. Unlike in the original cartoon, in here he doesn’t have one phrase that he uses (Go Go Gadget…) but it rather changes depending on the specific gadget used? I am not too sure yet I’ll have to watch all of the dubbed episodes haha. There’s a bonus chuckle in the end because I liked how it sounded heh.
In my opinion, Gadget’s voice is okay, I don’t have any problems with it, I like Quimby’s voice, Claw’s voice could’ve been better (more evil or harsh or rougher. I’m not a fan of his laugh here either) and I don’t really like Penny’s voice but it’s tolerable. I should mention that the intro stays the same.
Also there are not many episodes dubbed because the original inspector Gadget didn’t air here in the 80s. It was because my country was under the communist regime which didn’t allow western stuff through. It was dubbed in the 90s and no one I know really knows the cartoon so I suppose it wasn’t a hit haha. Gadget and the Gadgetinis aired here normally and so did the 2015 version as well but no one really watched it from what I understood which is a shame! Sadly I wasn’t able to find any dubbed episodes of GATG but there are a lot of not all episodes of 2015 gadget available. I am not a fan of that version though so I probably won’t spend my time researching it and watching every single episode X^)
Extremely sorry for the long text but this is a topic that I’m very interested in I hope you don’t mind that much!
