I have to say during the Holiday season in the mid 90s I always looked forward to watching the illustrious Bond as a Cartoon on ITV that made the mornings worth while. Unlike the other crude cartoons of the time which were superficial or just ludicrous this one was well written with action and entertainment for children.
Though loosely based on James Bond the programme delivers good thrilling entertainment and the same cold war rivalry amongst the familiar but reinvented villains in global politics that was not complex and that was exotic done with a variety of interesting and diverse characters that also brought humour in to the series. James Bond as is well known was a ladies man but this was sanitised in the cartoon to romance and the formula worked as it was also part of the story and there was an interesting character every episode that made it well worth watching.
My verdict on the series is that it is an intelligent series with a well written and sophisticated lead that instead of just being fashionable was genuinely entertaining and thrilling. I also think after Timothy Dalton when the era in which the zenith of Bond was coming to an end this would of been a good finalising series to Ian Flemings brand as it modestly required so. It was also done at the right time rather then just exhausting the classic character from Goldeneye onwards this cartoon to me is the seal
