Continuity With The Film Series
It is often debated by fans whether or not the animation series was canonical with the official EON film series, although the presence of Doctor No, Goldfinger and Oddjob would seem to argue against any ties to the film. However, it can be argued that Oddjob could have only been stunned and that Goldfinger had a parachute concealed in his clothes - such clothing in fact appeared in the animated series and was used to film the skydive opening sequence in Moonraker. Other fans have assumed that the Goldfinger in the show is actually the brother of the original, an idea first considered in Diamonds Are Forever. Doctor No’s skin is now green, presumably because he once fell in a toxic waste tank in the Bond movie. Fans of the Bond series have noticed many little connections made throughout the animated series and film series, which suggest they are part of the same continuity.

Famous quotes containing the words continuity, film and/or series:
“If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“History is nothing but a procession of false Absolutes, a series of temples raised to pretexts, a degradation of the mind before the Improbable.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
