Fun And Games
Arf, arf, woof, arf, arf. Don’t understand? Then check out the Brain Cam on the Inspector Gadget 2 site where, thanks to modern technology, we were able to translate Brain’s barking into English. It’s a good thing, too, because Brain interviewed several of his fellow cast members on the set -- including French Stewart (Gadget), Elaine Hendrix (G2), Caitlin Wachs (Penny), and director Alex Zamm -- and we were able to translate his questions and post the videotaped interviews to our site. Also new on the Wowser Browser: the Gadget Crime Analyzer game, where you look for clues to help solve “the crime of the century” and the Gadgetmobile Test Track game, where you put yourself behind the wheel of the Gadgetmobile and try to outwit Claw’s henchmen. There’s also a Gadgetmobile Screenmate for your desktop (in the Downloads), so you can take Gadget’s wheels for a spin whenever you feel like it. Have fun!

Piglet gets that inferior feeling when his friends begin a "honey harvest" and he is told that he’s too small to help.Piglet's Big Movie When Piglet disappears, the others use his scrapbook as a map to find him -- and in the process discover that this "Very Small Animal" has been a big hero in a lot of ways. After an eventful search and a dramatic climax, Piglet once again demonstrates how large an influence he has been on his pals. Piglet's Big MovieThe film features several new songs written and performed by Carly Simon, including "If I Wasn’t So Small" (The Piglet Song), the heartfelt "Mother’s Intuition," and the enchanting "With a Few Good Friends."

Inspector Gadget 2...Did You Know?

Inspector Gadget 2 has twice as many gadgets and special effects as the first film -- in fact, the film contains close to 300 visual effects in all.

Elaine Hendrix, who played "the other woman" -- Meredith Blake -- in 1998's The Parent Trap, stars as G2, an all-robot, all-tech, all-female Gadget.

In being true to the original cartoon character, writer-director Alex Zamm decided to make the villain Claw "faceless." "It's part of the game of the movie," Zamm says "You almost keep seeing Claw and you don't."

Making the effects in the movie believable was a very elaborate process that involved months of planning and resulted in over 1,000 pages of storyboards.
