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.
