In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
View MoreJust like Mister Magoo, the Pink Panther is yet another cartoon character who I find I don't like all that much. I certainly don't hate this pink pussycat, but, I find his one-note personality strikes me as being pretty "blah!" most of the time.And, on top of that - The situations that the Pink Panther was placed into in these cartoons seemed, quite often, to end on an unsatisfactory note. To me, most of these "toons" came across like unfinished stories and that, for the most part, just didn't sit very well with me.This Pink Panther collection is a 5-disc set containing 124 cartoons in all from the years between 1964-1980.Most of these animated shorts were directed, and/or produced, by Friz Freleng, who was a notable animator/director for Warner Bros. Studios some years earlier.These "limited animation" cartoons are somewhat unique in that they contain virtually no dialogue, whatsoever.
View MoreSpun off from the opening titles of the hit movie with Peter Sellers and starting out as a series of theatrical cartoons, The Pink Panther came to TV in 1969 and became a long running cartoon hit for NBC. It ran under a number of titles for seven years until ABC gave the panther another life but it lasted only one season.What I liked the most about the show were the Pink Panther cartoons. Done completely without dialogue (with a couple of exceptions), the episodes relied on sight gags and visual humor and to me that was one of the keys to the show's success.They were also very funny. There was one character who appeared in almost every episode, a little white man that my brother sometimes referred to as "Thing." Here's one mystery that's probably never been solved. What was the name of the little white guy in the Pink Panther cartoons? There were also a number of supporting segments throughout the show's tun. The two that were my favorites were "The Ant and the Aardvark" and "Misterjaw." To me, "The ant and the Aardvark" was a variation on tom and Jerry and the Road Runner cartoons as the aardvark tried to catch one ant for a meal. John Byner showed his versatility as a voice-over artist by portraying both characters. As for "Misterjaw", which capitalized on the success of the movie "Jaws", Arte Johnson, using pretty much the same voice as the military character on "Laugh-IN" was outstanding as the title character. His sidekick, Catfish was voiced by the same guy who voiced "Top Cat" in the 60s, Arnold Stang.I also remember "The Inspector", a pint-sized version of Seller's Clouseau character. Pat Harrington Jr. did well as the inspector and it showed his ability to handle the French accent.Later in the run, NBC made history when it expanded The Pink Panther to 90 minutes. Although this version wasn't a success, it started a trend for longer cartoon shows when ABC expanded Scooby-Doo to two hours and CBS expanded "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour to 90 minutes.The one constant that went through each of the Pink Panther cartoons was the theme composed by Henry Mancini. It added a jazzier touch to the show's soundtrack. I had a lot of memories of watching The Pink Panther on Saturday mornings and it got me, like many other fans to "Think Pink."
View MoreFrom what I read earlier, Misterjaw was on during 1976 and came under a syndicated version of the Pink Panther and Friends show. The shark was voiced by Arte Johnson, and that added credibility, and seems funnier than the Pink Panther himself, considering Misterjaw has a silly laugh track included. It's obvious that the film Jaws(1975)heavily influenced this cartoon, as well as many other things, as the opening and ending theme music is eerily similar to the film's score, which was performed by John Williams. In what I thought was a clever touch, the beginning of the cartoon usually had some person alone in the water, then we see a fin closing the gap, and then the shark would pop his head out of the water and yell "Gotcha!!!", to which the poor person(usually a man)would swim away scared for his life; soon after, the blue shark wearing a black hat would laugh hysterically, but not chase the man anymore, as he enjoyed scaring him only. The shark has a small green fish sidekick, who I believe is nameless except for a few nicknames, who follows Misterjaw around and basically agrees with everything he says or does. There's another frequent character called Fearless Freddy, a poor attempt at Quint from Jaws, who chases the shark around and tries to catch him, but never does. I don't think Misterjaw would've ever been created without Jaws, but since I'm a huge fan of the movie, I enjoy this entertaining cartoon on the rare occasion it's on some station.

Because of the success of the Pink Panther films starring Peter Sellers, and Alan Arkin once, they decided to turn the Pink Panther diamond into an actual character. They turned it from a diamond into an actual Pink Panther. Throughout the show he has many weird and wonderful cartoon adventures where there's usually the Clouseau looking guy inter-fearing or getting involved. Pink Panther smokes, drives cars, tries to cross busy roads, catches thieves, paints his house pink, and lots of other good animated episodes. There are also appearances of cartoon characters called Aardvark and Ant, and of course, a cartoon version of the Alan Arkin version of Inspector Clouseau. But it's the Pink Panther himself that's the most interesting part of this classic cartoon series. It was number 99 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Very good!
