If you're looking for a nostalgic look backwards, the Inspector compliation DVD is definately one to bring back memories. All of the Inspector cartoons from the original Pink panther Show have been compiled onto one DVD.The inspiration for Blake Edwards Clusou character, the Inspector carries all the bumbling trade marks apparrent in Peter Sellers real life adapation. Definately one to bring back memories of early 70's, Saturday afternoon television.

I wish that the episodes of the Pink Panther, Inspector, etc., would have been done by the season instead to be sure that none were missing.

I was so very pleased. It is the inspector and his assistant the way I remember them. The sounds and picture are excellent. I can't wait for the next series.

Just to clear up the misleading title of this set, the Pink Panther does not appear in these cartoons. It seems that MGM home video felt that nobody would know who The Inspector was, so they had to tag him as one of the Pink Panther's friends.
This cartoon series is historically important, produced in the late 1960's after all but two of the major studios gave up producing new cartoons for the theaters. Friz Freleng (formerly directing for Warner Brothers' Looney Tunes & Merry Melodies) teamed with David DePatie to form a new Animation studio, Depatie-Freleng, after Warner shut its doors. In an ironic twist Warner then contracted with them to continue producing Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies for theaters!
But around that same time Depatie-Freleng produced an animated title sequence for the first Pink Panther movie. It was so popular that United Artists contracted with them to produce a series of Pink Panther Cartoons. Unlike the title sequence, the Pink Panther was no longer persued by The Inspector.
However, later that year The Inspector got his own theatrical cartoon series, based not on Peter Sellers but on the short, big-nosed character in the title sequences. He was now teamed up with a spanish assistant who joined him in persuing some stylistic villians like a mad bomber who looked like a hairy ink spot, or a three headed black shadow that can take on many forms to conceal itself.
Pat Harrington (who later went on to be the handyman Schneider in ONE DAY AT A TIME) voiced The Inspector, giving a slight impression of Peter Sellers. He was joined by veteran voice actors such as Paul Frees & Larry Storch (Agarn in F TROOP). Animation directors for the old Warner Brothers studio also joined the Depatie-Freleng studios to produce these classic 1960's cartoons. And the quality of their work shows when comparing these to other cartoons produced at the same time from studios such as Walter Lantz.
The Inspector series was retired in 1969 and sold to NBC television as a part of the Pink Panther show. Laugh tracks were added to these theatrical cartoons which gave them a television feel, in general theatrical cartoons ran on TV without the laugh tracks. The title sections were shortened & given a new music track for the TV show.
This collection gathers the first 17 cartoons of the 34 cartoon series with their original theatrical titles & music intact.

I can't wait for this to come out. I've been looking for the Inspector cartoons for years to come out on DVD. I loved this cartoon when I saw it as a youth. So much so that I can still remember a good portion of the originals by hard. Pick up a copy. I guarantee you'll enjoy it!!!
