I guess I'm alone on this. But If MG$M wants me to buy the excellent Pink Panther I want 50 cartoons for $25+tax at list price so I pay $20 at Best Buy. I want good mastering and the original versions of the cartoons. If MG$M wants to include Ant, Inspector, Toad cartoons then I want 100 cartoons for $50 or about $40 at Best Buy. I can get about 20 hours of 24 for is it $40 or $50. But I get 55 minutes of The Pink Panther for $15. That means $300 for 20 hours or 6 times as much. I hope everybody reading this post boycotts any MG$M product that is a rip-off. If we are being made to go to DVD instead of the superior Movie Palace culture with one cartoon in front of the a great print of a film or films and the other stuff and not Bad Boys 10 on a TV screen that is misized then don't rip me off MG$M. Too bad because there are almost no good cartoon collections available. And
children's programs like this Jackie Chan Adventures or whatever bad Anime they peddle now is just sad. Underdog with Tennese was cool. The Go-Go Gophers and Klondike kick ass. Scooby Doo Kids just sucks. Dexter's Laboratory is when it's not real weekday afternoon generic often real cool. But they don't give you the cartoons like they use too. Before MTV overworked Mike Judge and he had other people do it for him, Beavis was real cool. & speaking of cartoons- where is a good Paul Terry collection of Heckle, Mighty, Sydney, Hector, Mighty, Deputy and others? Where is a good Walter Lanz or Harvey with Baby Huey and others? Or a best of AAP with Poe, Mr. Magoo, Thurber, Shorty & Swifty and others. English people would probably buy a Magic Round About. There should be a normal length/price version of Weird Animation from Rhino. That means stuff at the quality of volume 1- 50 cartoons for $20 at Best Buy and mastered. Not scratchy prints and $40 for about 16 cartoons. Except people wouldn't know the cartoons so they might think they would suck. But that clay worm that eats everything is real cool. It would probably freak you out if you did acid. Then there is other stuff including modern/foreign. But it seems unlikely that the companies will ever get cartoons right so why bother? Its a shame about The Pink Panther- that's one of the coolest ones. I seem to remember a fight for a bone, a quarter and that real cool pet rock. Clutch Cargo where are you?

I bought this for myself--er--my son for Christmas. Everyone loves it, from my 3 year old to the grandparents...there is something funny for everyone! I am 32 years old and loved these cartoons as a kid. Too bad you can't find the "oldies but goodies" on regular cable tv these days! The absence of characthers' talking enables kids to actually use their brains in imagining what would be said if only the characters COULD talk! I think that is what makes these cartoons so timeless. The background music is great....I had NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER with the quality of the DVD. After all, these were originally made in the late 1960's to early 1970's! I'm just glad to have ANY copy of these cartoons! You won't be sorry if you purchase this! Hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

As much as I liked the 70s TV show, including Ant & Aardvark, you guys are being too critical, and in the wrong direction.

While you guys are getting all nostalgic about watching The Pink Panther Show on Saturday mornings, I'm getting nostalgic about the Pink Panther cartoons shown in theatres before, and between films during double-features in the 60s. Remember double-features?

Anyway, that's what this DVD is, the cartoons from the theatres, not The Pink Panther Show, which was the Saturday morning cartoon that you all fondly remember.

I was disappointed severely after watching this DVD. I was completely absorbed in the animation, soundtrack and overall aesthetic of the cartoon for...LESS THAN AN HOUR! Last I checked a full DVD can hold several times that much video. UTILIZE IT. And I know there are many more cartoons that could have been put on here. Furthermore, the inspector and the ant & the aardvark were naively neglected in this dvd. I fully expect a boxed set of every pink panther cartoon to come out, featuring more cartoons. So I don't have to go through this review process again, just to complain.

Incredibly upset,

How unfortunate that this very weak set comes out anemic pink. Why not THE COMPLETE PINK PANTHER??? With this box set you get a tease of Pink Panther but not something you would really want for your DVD collection.

LETS HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE SET PLEASE

Upset in Southern MO.

I rated this DVD 3 stars just for the fact of ONLY 7 carttons. This was absolutely ridiculous if not totally a rip-off. And what about the Ant and The Aardvark? The idiots tease you w/ their pictures on the cover and not one sniff of at least 1 toon! I hope someone comes out w/ at least 100 cartoons on DVD and I will definately purchase it. And then I can use this Jet Pink trash as a Frisbee.

I'm glad they came out with the Pink Panther cartoon, but it was really short and the ant eater and others were not there!
Also, it looked like a video.
Wish it was digitally remastered...
But, maybe someone will come out with the rest of the entire Pink Panther cartoons, and will clean them up as well... Please!
But, glad at least I have something that is not on a video tape

This is pretty good. Good color for the original technology. There should have been more for the money. Would have been better with about 20-30 cartoons instead of 7 or 8. They need to come out with the other characters on the Pink Panther show.

What can I say, I was a fan of The Pink Panther cartoons when they first were aired on Saturday morning many moon ago and I still am a fan. They cartoons were transferred Ok (not the best I have seen but OK, not complaining). The audio was fine (although I wonder why they included an option for various subtitles for cartoons where nobody ever speaks). I just thought they could have at least put a couple of hours (4 would have been better) rather than the 51 minutes running time they put on this DVD. Still happy I pick it up, it was nice watching the Pink Panther cartoons again...:+)

The Pink Panther is one of my favorite cartoons I really do enjoy them I have a good time watching them I remember when the Ant and The Aardvark used to come on right along with the Pink Panther. I used to watch the Pink Panther after school whenever I would come home from school I give this DVD 5 stars because I enjoyed the Pink Panther a lot and I still do today so if you like this cartoon I would recommend that you buy it ; You would definitely enjoy it!!!!
