  • I use to love this as a kid.=)

  • @Shinepikavee so did i i forgot all about this show

  • My god... how could I have forgotten this, Widget and his sidekick (a face and gloves whose name escapes me). Thank you for uploading.

  • anyone remember swans crossing? AWESOME teenage soap

  • Wow, I watched THIS as a kid?? No wonder my lady doesn't let me pick the shows to watch.. lol

  • 0:13 man tries to capture seal... from a circus?

    This has all sorts of secondary meanings.

  • I loved this show sooo much. It made me so happy. I remember coming from from school and watching it and being so happy and excited. Sigh...

  • ha awesome! God bless widget

  • Hoooooooooooooooly crap, it's Russi Taylor!!! :o :D

  • T.T epic...

  • kennt den noch wer? fühlte mich grad leicht inspiriert das zu posten....thx sandra ;)

  • well its good to know that todays adventure will be totaly awesome

  • bahha memories. 

  • WHY THE HELL if i type widget song it shows androids phones videos, damn i hate technology

  • Hey... Is this the one where the alien collects baseball cards?

  • I finally found it lol i used to watch this along with "pink panther" before I went to school...

  • I had forgotten this little show.

  • I can't believe I finally found this. I have wondered for like the last ten years what the name of this show was. I remember seeing it on television in the early 90's, before I was in school age (I was born in '87). I just remembered channel and what time it was broadcasted (5.30 PM - can't believe I remembered that), and that the main character was purple and had some strange watch. I tried searching, but nothing came up until today. Really awesome to find it after about 20 years!

  • @Dellerss - Same here amigo. I wondered for about 12 years what the name was again and after a lot of search on the internet I found it, but not the intro but the name of the show. Its hard to remeber evrything you see as a child on television but now years later its a nice feeling to watch it again right.

  • @Dellerss I went through EXACTLY the same thing... searched high and low for this now i have it :D I will never forget now thanks to the uploader xD

  • how could you not remember the name of widget shame on you

  • @Dellerss

    Wow, that's crazy. It's pretty much the same story for me. Born in 87, and the weird watch thing was the only thing I remembered. That, and something about a nebula. This is nostalgia to the max.

  • Bleh! He is waaaaaaay more ugly than I remember!!

  • the original www

  • I think this was the most underrated kids show of the 90's...I used to watch it religiously but it never seemed to be popular at my school

  • No way, I thought this show was just a dream I had, a memory so distant and short. So it's about an alien environmentalist with the power to morph into animals? Was this the inspriation for Animorphs.

  • Am I the only one who sees a similarity between this and Invader Zim? Both have idiot aliens going to earth and these two elder figures having enough of them.

  • Back when cartoons gave away their entire plot in the intro each week XD

  • hell yeah widget rules burrorojo19 your a idiot

  • @symo89 You're the idiot who doesn't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. Get an education and perhaps some understanding that we're all entitled to our own opinions.

  • No one else I knows knows this I loved it still have it one vhs lol

  • This show used to annoy me, but I watched it anyway.

  • Evil poachers...like people poach in Africa because they're inherently evil, and not because they are forced to do things through poverty...

  • @burrorojo19 Except they weren't African Poachers. They're dressed specifically as 'Big Game Hunters' notice the trendy 80s safari suits and slouch hats? These people are already rich.

  • @psychedashell Interesting point.

  • Widget voted for Al Gore, and killed Jesus.

  • 0:30 AWESOME!

  • did boney m do the theme song..?

  • @skinnyborscht Hehe good call!

  • Is it just me or does Widget sound like Gonzo from Muppet Babies?

  • ROFL XD XD XD

    I was wondering what the English-speaking version was like, and I have to say this is nothing like the French one!!

    youtube.com/watch?v=WCLIJQxl_a­o

    I prefer the latter, but that may be because I’m used to it; make up your own mind. ;)

  • It's funny how he walks up to the space ship smiling! Lol! He's thinking, " I don't have anything better to do!" lol!

  • I always liked this better than Captain Planet. This show had more aliens.

    At age four, all the enviromental messages went right over my head.

  • @TheUrbanusling I'm sorry. If your cynical at the age of 5 for no other than just because, then a visit to a therapist is in order. While I understand that everyone has their faults, its the unbridled optimism of these characters is what makes them so memorable. You know the world can be a cruel place. But what keeps you going is that the next day/person/situation is a whole lot better than the last

  • @Tonezone I agree. cynicism takes time and negative experiences to develop. I find it very hard to believe that anyone could be cynical at the age of 5.

  • this kinda makes me wish i was a kid again and didnt have to study for my stupid 2exams on friday!

  • @keansyl consider yourself lucky a lot of people that watched this show as kid have a full time job now. I'd trade studies over a job any day but it doesn't pay the bills

  • used to love this as a kid. Looking at it now this intro is actually pretty funny lol

  • This was one of my fav shows

  • I LOVED THIS SHOW..

  • i used to cry when i missed the show, 15 or so years later and my parents still tell everyone about it

  • HOLY SH*T I FEEL LIKE A LIL BOY AGAIN!

  • loved this

  • Horrible themesong

    Badly constructed

    Not horrible, but bland and uninspired animation

    Bad Designs

    Dreadful voice acting

    There were good bits of animation in the 1990s, this is not one of them.

  • @ImperatorZor Are you kitting? THIS is one of the most awesome cartoons ever. Such cartoons were the best ever. I love widget. He's the one to put the humans into the right direction. More peace, more nature loving. That's some really good stuff.

  • @4Astaroth I'm with you

    I use to watch this every Saturday Morning on KALB-TV 5 and KLFY-TV 10

    and this show is not only entertaining, but it's also educational

    We need shows like this not only on DVD, but also on reruns, and hopefully, Boomerang, WGN America or The Hub should bring this show back, and it's better than all of these cartoons that we got on today and this show was from the producer of Voltron, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Denver The Last Dinosaur and Mr. Bogus

  • Too bad nick no longer have cartoons like this anymore. I use to watch this toon everyday as a kid living and growing up in Virginia. The memories I have back than are the memories I wish I could relive. RIP nick

  • Holy shit!

    I got this intro tune stuck in my head about a month ago...

    Was bugging me so much, I remembered it from child hood, and then I remembered it was a show kind of like captain planet, then I found this!

    I'm so happy =D

  • Youtube really is amazing. I must have been only 5 years old when this was on TV, but I typed in "purple alien cartoon" and there he is again. lol

  • Love the change of the song at 0:25, but it bothers me that it reminds me of another tune, but I can't pinpoint exactly which song it's similar to...

  • @FishOfPain I know what you mean, a song triggered this memory, and then I remembered the kids show. I WISH I could remember what song it was though :(

  • @MagnuSSungaM

    I think I just figured out which song it was for me! "Chosen One", from the second Pokémon movie soundtrack. Listening to them compared now, not very similar, but I still think it was that I was thinking abot, the breakdown sounds a tiiny bit like it. It's the closest I know I've heard that I've come up with so far, at least. :P

  • Wow I remember this LOL

  • what about toxic avengers people :P

  • I remember playing the Super Nintendo game all while having McDonalds, good times.

  • @everettlamb84

    Man, tell me about it! I had this game as well, & all I remember is watching the cartoon in the morning, then playing the game after school lol! Ah, the memories....

  • Holy Crow!! I'd forgotten all about this!!

  • Holy Crow!! I'd forgotten all about this!!

  • What an awesome epic intro.

  • ohh 90s... they aint makin these kidna cartoons now..

  • I just realized, as awesome as this show is, I can never, ever watch it again...not when my brain is crying out:

    "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WHAT ABOUT THE CONSERVATION OF MASS AND ENERGY! PHYSICS, BIOLOGY, AND CHEMISTRY DON'T WORK THAT WAY, IT'S-"

    Yeah...<.<;;;...see what I mean?

  • I completely forgot about this cartoon until I seen it here. D'awww. :3 

  • i think widget had progeria

  • As a child, this amiable cartoon character made my head dizzy from trying to morph into different creatures. Good times.

  • NOSTALGIA FFFFUUUUU

  • Oh man, I'm glad to see others enjoyed this show back in the day... I too thought I may have been the only viewer out there...

  • Oh man, I'm glad to see others enjoyed this show back in the day... I too thought I may have been the only viewer out there...

  • Gee the volume's loud! btw, I always loved the bit where you see the Horsehead nebula

  • Every time I jokingly called someone "widget" I was the only one to get the joke!!!

  • aww man 4got about dis cartoon

  • 18 people couldn't keep the dream alive, alive, aliiiivvvvveee!!!

  • Oh dear god this?! I'd forgotten all about it!

  • Widget was a weird one...

    And yes, there's also the fact that no one remembers it.

  • YO LO AMABAAAAA TEARS TEARS

  • i couldn't remember the name of this show to save my life. classic son a fkin classic

  • second coming anyone?

  • I hate you Widget!

  • @BringBackKingKenny Rofl.

    XD

  • I've been racking my brain trying to remember this cartoon

  • god i had tried to find this show for years, i even hummed the tune in my head and i still could'nt remember it until tonight when i put in cartoon shows of 1990's and finally found it, I loved this show, this show was sooooo awesome

  • widget/captain planet + feral tv / bangers and mash = new generation of green anarchists.

  • @azafreak Right on. Who said TV was a bad influence?

  • fuck, this thing haunted my chidhood. f*cking creepy man.. who would'nt notice a purple elephant btw? you have to be colorblind like f*ck not to notice that.. Damn i'm hungry.

  • add it to the facebook

  • im glad i aint da one who remembers did....i put on my facebook page and nobody remembered it such a shame

  • I remember when I was little, my mum taped a whole heap of kid's TV shows onto one VCR cassette, and we used to watch that tape over and over again. It had loads of stuff I probably wouldn't remember, otherwise. The episodes of Widget that were on that tape were one where he went to Australia and battled crocodiles with his fake accent and a boomerang, and one where some rich couple tried to steal the world's famous landmarks. It might have been the same episode. I don't remember.

  • Wow patrickdf ... my website, how did you get the video? Anywayz I don't know many other people that remember this show, one of my favs. nice to see it on here one way or another.

  • someone should make a widget widget for windowns lol

  • i watched this as a kid, forgot the name but rembered how the creature looked Widget^^

  • I loved Widget and his brain watch

  • I totally remember this and i luv watching this when i was a kid lol. 80's and 90's were the epic days of my life since i was born in the 80's hehe.. =)

  • this theme is so much better than any pop music today... and the message, holy shit the show had a message! nowadays i can't see any message anywhere.

  • This cartoon had a great concept! ...no wonder why I loved to watch this! :)

  • omg people still remember this show other than me???? This and the C.O.Wboys of moooomesa were my faves!

  • it was shows like this and captain planet that influenced me when i was younger. now i'm a environmental engineer :P

  • @kaixing25 - dude, you win the internet.

  • @kaixing25 ME TOO!!!

  • @EverVigil hahaha awesome. they should have more shows like this nowdays, best way to convey information to younger kids.

  • @kaixing25 Wow, that's awesome! These shows were really something, not only the entertained, but also gave some educative info. Good for you!

  • @kaixing25 wow kool great job

  • nobody cares, good on ya mate

  • @kaixing25 I rarely give thumbs up but this comment deserves one.

  • @kaixing25 this influenced me too, now i poach lions and elephants

  • @krone01 LMFAO!

    This intro was terrible! I can't believe I used to like this show. Didn't he also have some sidekick named 'Brain' or something?

  • @MuppetMan246 yeah, this actually is a really good show. it dealt with consumerism, environmentalism, personal responsibilities etc. a lot better than the rubbish that is produced now for sure.

  • Comment removed

  • holy shit

  • None of my friends knew what I was talking about when I tried to describe this show to them. I loved this!!

  • I have a widget doll  :D

  • For nearly ten years, I never knew this was a show! I played the SNES game FUN!

  • I also remember Fantastic Max and Mr. Bogus. Early 90's was something crazy.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH MMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!! Me and my brother used to watch this show on Saturday mornings!!!!!!!!! I think it was CBS channel. Reminds me when I used to watch Bill and Teds Excellent adventure. Does anyone remember that one show where this dude was playing nintendo and got sucked inside his television set with a bunch of video game characters. Mega Man was one of them.

  • @Number1WuFan

    Captain N the game master. ;)

  • @Number1WuFan Captain N the Game Master.

  • I used to imagine I was like widget, turning into a rocket to run faster and stuff. Aww good times.

  • Yes, I'm sure elephant poachers hunt by CHASING ELEPHANTS THROUGH JUNGLES WITH ROPES. :P

  • Widget the World Watcher was way the best cartoon when I was young. And it is the best today but not shown in germany and that's not fair. That should be on DVD.

    Best part of this song is 0:31-0:34, but the whole song is very awesome.

  • cancerous voice....

  • capitan planet wanna-be

  • That is one very old cartoon, I don't think I'm even born yet when this one's being televised. XD

  • "alive...alive,,,aliiiive" lol wow. Now its off to the denver the last dinosaur theme

  • I really didn't like this cartoon but I watched every morning while eating breakfast since I didn't have cable and it was either this or the news.

  • This is what kids need to watch nowadays, not those stupid cartoons about pathetic little games and made up creatures whose only purpose is fight.

  • Love the cartoon!

  • I love this SONG!

  • I'd LOVVVVVE to find episodes of this somewhere

  • i AM Widget :O

  • @DarkWidget lol!

  • Awesome memories!

  • So nostalgic, it's been years and I still remember this theme, contrary to most of the nonsense shown on TV today.

  • Le dedico este video a Marydalia ya que ese muneco se parece a ella!!! hahahaha XD

  • i have to admit...i hated this cartoon along with Captain Planet...but I do recycle :P

  • Comment removed

  • i havnt seen that opening for 15 years still awesome, 90 cartoons rocked, this wouldnt be allowed now cuz the aliens had spaceguns lol, over sencitive people are spiling the world

  • oh man, thank u! such good memories from childhood. The voice is similar to dexter from cartoon network.

  • alota cartoons of the 80's and 90's (gen Y) where very left wing :S

  • omg.....haha, I FEEL SO OLD right now! hahah.

  • This show is another reason why I thank god for Mobile Suit Gundam and Exo-Squad. Widget the World Watcher, another eco-friendly piece of moronic claptrap that goes out and insult the intelligence of it's viewers much like Captain Schmuck and the Green Lantern Corp Washouts!

  • @Pegas105

    Somebody never saw Zeta Gundam, or Char's Counter Attack. Char's motives are entirely environmentalist based.

    Try not to fail so hard from now on.

  • @onigojira Thank you! At least someone else picked on that theme in the Gundam franchise. Actually, I rather surprised I thought I would get something completely different in reponse. Because if you watch 'Winds of Jaburo' Char breifly laments on the environmental damage caused by the nuclear devices used to blow Jaburo. I do have in my Gundam collection both the series and movies of Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack; which I throughly enjoyed.

  • @Pegas105

    Glad to see someone else noticed Char's a tree hugger. Still, with out environmentalist shows, children don't usually learn to give a damn about the wild. Most nature programming is not as entertaining, and too violent for their parents to let them watch due to how predators much avoid starvation. This show and others like it are required to help bring about new generations of biologists and conservationists.

  • that fuckin snes game was broken

  • I cant believe i found this i love widget when i was a kid but no one seems to remember it but me

  • @1988mania Me too, everyone thinks I'm losing it when I try explaining! I knew I wasn't making it up!

  • I remember this show... always watched it when I was a kid :D

  • Even though I was a 90s kid, of the many great cartoons that were around back then, this one sadly didn't make it into my childhood viewing experience :( .

  • i alwasy loved this cartoon ever since i was a kid >>>

  • LOL

    I remember this, nobody else I know does though!!!

  • This was good and i also rember playing the game as well. I want to find out where i can get ahold of all these old school tunes.

  • 27 to 35 is the best part of the whole thing loved it as a kid

  • 90's cartoons has awesome intros because the makers of the cartoons were proud of their work. Nowadays, modern cartoons have lame intros because the makers are ashamed of the shit they just made.

    It makes so much sense.

  • this was the best show in the world...along with captain planet!!

  • I was starting to think I was the only fucker who remembered this show. I knew I wasn't that crazy

  • @charlietrips LOOOL

  • @charlietrips dude I know EXACTLY what you mean! oh man haha, I've got tears runnin down my face I'm laughin so hard...

  • @charlietrips Me too!! hahaha

  • @charlietrips I know how you feel I loved this show!!!! i miss it :(

  • i <3 mega-brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • so, is widget's planet in the emmision nebula, or in the diffuse nebula?

  • I watched this before video power. It's one of the campiest cartoons of all time, and given what was coming out during the 80s/very early 90s, that's saying a lot.

  • @DragonsRevenge , haha very true!

  • If it wasn't for the "W" design, I would never have remembered this show! Either my memory is getting better now because of YT, or I'm just reverting back to being a kid! I was 3 when this started, so I probably just watched the reruns. Pretty cool, though!

  • bring back old cartoons for children these days they are boring!

  • I used to love this one.

  • WIDGET!!!!!!!!!!

  • i remember this show. been 15 years since I last saw it. mega-brain was the same voice of darkwing duck and negaduck on DW
