Summary: 5 Stars
The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection collects all of the Pink Panther cartoons that were made between 1964 and 1978 (but released to theaters between 1964 and 1980).
The Pink Panther cartoon character was initially designed as an intro tag to the Peter Sellers movie of the same name about a diamond which quite frankly was boring IMHO. Each film was literally upstaged by Friz Freleng's classic animated sequences featuring literally a panther that was colored pink.
The first Pink Panther cartoon in its own right was Pink Phink and it is a classic as he kept facing his nemesis, the Big Nose Man, by painting the man's house pink instead of blue.
I used to watch these cartoons religiously as a kid and I still love them today.
On this 5 DVD set you get every theatrical cartoon made like The Pink Phink, Bully For Pink (one of my favorites where the cat is a bullfighter), Congratulations It's Pink, G.I. Pink, Pink Valiant, Pink Pranks, Pink Blue Plate, The Pink Flea and many many more plus the shorts made for Saturday morning TV in 1978/79 like Pink Quackers, Pink in the Woods, Pink Arcade and Pink Breakfast amongst many more.
I notice that some of the 1978 remakes with new music soundtracks and newly added scenes which were Yankee Doodle Pink (originally Pinky Doodle with a new ending), Pet Pink Pebbles (it's Rocky Pink with new score and scene where rock goes around the town like a pinball) and Pink of Baghdad (originally Pink of Arabee with new score and added scene) aren't listed but were good shorts in their own right. I actally preferred Pet Pink Pebbles' music score and the newly added pinball sequence where the rock bounces through town to Rocky Pink although some complain.
Many people gripe that other shorts like The Ant and the Aardvark (voiced by John Byner who did dead on impersonations of Dean Martin and Jackie Mason and had 17 cartoons), The Inspector (based on Inspector Clouseau but funnier and had 34 cartoons), The Tijuana Toads (the two Mexican frogs Pancho and Toro whom had 17 cartoons) and Misterjaw (the German shark who yelled HEEGOTCHA to scare are people off whom had 34 cartoons) are not here. If this DVD set does well enough, I think MGM will release all of these cartoons in their own right (The Ant and the Aardvark and half of The Inspector have been released).
Also, this DVD comes with a few bonus features like the new documentary Behind the Feline: The Cartoon Phenomenon. A new interview with one of the surviving animators of The Pink Panther Art Leonardi called Pink Patter With Art Leonardi: The Story Behind the Animation. A tribute to the late Friz Freleng on the feature Remembering Friz: A Tribute to Friz Freleng. A documentary on how to draw The Pink Panther called Think Pink: How to Draw the Pink Panther. Plus the sequence Page to Screen: The Making of Two Cartoons. Lastly, you get the animated Main Title Sequences From Five of the Feature Pink Panther Films.
This DVD is a must for fans of classic animation and Pink Panther in general.
Highly recommended!
Movie Review: The Pink Panther is number one!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Pink Panther has always remained a very important figure in the history of modern animation. A character like this one who uses only physical actions to speak for him definitely has universal/worldwide appeal. So, it turned out to be a dream come true when this remarkable 5-disc DVD set entitled "The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection" was released. It contains 124 classic Pink Panther cartoon shorts together on 5 DVDs. Overall, this set is a really great value for your investment. It truly belongs in every DVD home library. Starting off with the first in the series, the Academy Award winning "The Pink Phink", every short is presented in chronological order through the rest of the discs. I remember watching these cartoons shorts when I was a kid; and now, it is an even bigger thrill to be able to share them with my graddaughter. This has become my favorite DVD release of the year 2006, and my second favorite DVD release of all time! No wonder The Pink Panther has become my very all-time favorite cartoon character!Movie Review: A Great Collection, For the Kid in All of Us.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can remember when I would get up, sneak past my parents room, and rush downstairs to eat breakfast and catch a pink panther cartoon. That was a long time ago, but i now get the same kind of great feeling with this awesome new collection. It contains all of the original cartoons, minus the inspector ones, which you can actually purchase from amazon. So, at this great price, you are getting all of the original classics that make us remember what it is like to be kids.
