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 with, continuity, film and/or series:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“[Film noir] experiences periodic rebirth and rediscovery. Whenever we have any moment of deep societal rift or disruption in America, one of the ways we can express it is through the ideas and behavior in film noir.”
—John Briley (b. 1925)
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
