Movie Reviews of The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection, Vol. 1: Pranks in the Pink
Movie Review: Excellent, funny, creative cartoons!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought that Volume 2 was better than Volume 1, but this is a very well put together DVD. I saw half of the films, and laughed like crazy when the Pink Panther would outsmart everybody in those films. The last time I watched these 1964-1967 cartoons was in 1980, when they showed 30-minute shows of these films on local TV stations. They showed the 1965 and 1966 films, even some from 1967 and 1968 a lot. It's like time never faded away--these films are still fresh and watchable today and fit well in today's Internet/IPod world. They repeat the music a lot in most films, but Henry Mancini's score music is still catchy--it's still in my head a good 26 years later (Yes, I do go out a lot--I don't get too overaddicted to TV too much)! I still hum to some parts from those films even up to today! Sometimes, the Pink Panther films borrow a bit from the Warner Bros. cartoons--especially the funny Road Runner/Wily E. Coyote chases, the Acme Manufacturing products, the anvils, the falling off of a cliff to the ground and so forth. This is a fun DVD that can be watched by everyone of all ages! So funny! Movie Review: Great slapstick

Movie Review: More banter 'bout the Panther...
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it's true that there's no Inspector episodes or Ant and Aardvark episodes. I wish these Pink Panther episodes were available intact just the way I saw them as a kid, but I must say that getting all the classic 1960's Pink Panther cartoons on a single disc for this price is a steal.
It's probably not best to do a Pink Panther marathon. As cool as the music is, it gets a little repetitive after a while, even though it seems that the makers of these cartoons did try to come up with variations on the classic theme.
On the up side, all us Pink Panther fans know that the music is much of what makes these cartoons great, and it really is great to pipe this music from your DVD player through a nice sound system while watching these classics with great DVD quality.
One way to really enjoy this might be to keep this disc near your home theater system and watch one or two cartoons before your movies over the course of a few weeks. Then the music doesn't get to you so much, and after all, these were meant to be watched every Saturday morning, not sat through one after the other for hours.
Movie Review: SIMPLE YET FUNNY
Summary: 5 Stars
A great collection of the Pink Panther cartoons which were very popular in Greece also back in the 70's. It is a pity that the series of the Ant and the Aardvark is not included. I bought it both for me to remember my childhood and also for my two and a half year old son who also seems to enjoy it. The music theme is REALLY great but it is repeated again and again an it becomes a bit tiring. Movie Review: Weak.
Summary: 2 Stars
In my opinion, none of the episodes captured the best of the Pink Panther series.
