Why does this seem familiar?

Doctor Claw seizes control of Santa's workshop, enslaves his elves, and sabotages the toys while a crime-fighter with eccentric abilities comes to the rescue.

It's James Pond II: Codename RoboCod (a video game from the previous year).

I'm not kidding, it is so similar. Not that I mind, both are good. There is the usual amount of hijinks and humor in this episode-sized Xmas special. A bit too much emphasis is placed on the madcap antics instead of building a nice Xmasy feel. Though I think that the voice actress playing Penny is a bit too young.

Not a waste of time, but not an annual classic.

Trivia
DIC lost the rights to the Saban-produced Inspector Gadget music once the two corporations parted ways sometime after the Inspecteur Gadget (1983) TV show concluded it's run. This is why the Inspector Gadget theme is not heard in this 1992 DIC production, or the Super Nintendo game that was released the following year.
