Description:  The New Adventures of Gilligan is a 1974 animated series that continues the story of the seven castaways from Gilligan's Island. The show features the original voice cast reuniting for adventures, which include both classic island shenanigans and new, often sci-fi-themed plots like meeting aliens and dealing with robots. The animated series added a monkey sidekick named Stubby and featured some character personality changes to suit the Saturday morning cartoon format.

Series premise: Similar to the original sitcom, the series begins with the seven castaways being shipwrecked on an uncharted island after a three-hour tour.

New elements: The cartoon introduced a monkey named Stubby as a companion for Gilligan and added more outlandish plots, including encounters with aliens and robots, and Gilligan sometimes gaining superpowers.

Voice cast: The show reunited many of the original cast members, including Bob Denver as Gilligan, Alan Hale Jr. as the Skipper, Jim Backus as the millionaire, and Natalie Schafer as Mrs. Howell.

Character changes: Some changes were made for the animated format, such as Ginger being depicted with blonde hair and Mrs. Howell being portrayed as more inept.
