Calling all artists, doodlers and Inspector Gadget fans. Shout! Factory and DIC Ent. announce the Dec. 23 commencement of the official Inspector Gadget Fan Art Contest. Hosted by Animation Magazine Online, the competition invites individuals to submit drawings of the ever-popular Inspector Gadget cartoon character for the chance to have their art grace the new Inspector Gadget: The Original Series four-disc DVD set, due in stores April 25.
All fan art entries must be received by Jan. 15, and the winner will be announced on Jan. 18. DIC Ent. chief creative officer Mike Maliani will judge each submission for creativity, uniqueness and accuracy of the Gadget model.
From 1983 to 1985, America’s beloved private eye (voiced by the late Don Adams of Get Smart fame) solved cases and foiled the menacing Dr. Claw with the help of his case-solving niece, Penny, and their hyper-intelligent dog, Brain. Inspector Gadget: The Original Series will include 22 episodes and such bonus features as a retrospective look at Inspector Gadget with DIC chairman and CEO Andy Heyward and chief creative officer Mike Maliani, and an interview with animation voice guru Frank Welker (Dr. Claw, Brain, M.A.D. Cat).
