Customer Reviews of The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection

Animation's most famous feline aside Tom and Sylvester FINALLY on DVD
The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection collects all of the Pink Panther cartoons that were made between 1964 and 1980. <
>The Pink Panther cartoon character was initially designed as an intro tag to the Peter Sellers movie about a diamond which quite frankly boring. Each film was 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 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 rock bounces through town to Rocky Pink. <
>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. <
>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!

A must for Pink Panther fans...
I bought this collection the day it came out. Even though there are a few flaws such as the disc holder design and no soundtrack only option, this is a great collection. I have watched the first disc, and part of the second. However, I have yet to see the anteater or inspector cartoons. Are those on this collection? if anyone knows, please let me know. Overall, you should buy this collection because the Pink Panther is a funny and cool cartoon that remains a timeless classic that brings back childhood memories.

It's been a long time in waiting, but worth it.
I have waited for years for a collection of Pink Panther cartoons to be released on DVD. While it has been a long wait, it has been well worth it. The collection is great. The picture is crisp and quite clean. The overall quality is much better than the VHS collections that were released in the mid 1980's. <
>If you grew up in the late 70's / early 80's watching The Pink Panther 1 and 1/2 Hour show like I did, this is an absolute for your DVD collection. I have only watched discs 1, 2 and half of 3 so far. Without even completing the set, I am very satisfied with the colleciton. <
