Pink Panther and Pals

As a huge fan of the original pink panther show, i can definitly say that this show is pretty much more family friendly, but not less fun. The characters are nostalgic, the soundtrack still amazingly good (thanks Henry Mancini!!!!!!!!), Pink Panther stills that silly character (even if he got family friendly now), the jokes still have the 70's shows vibes, but now in high quality, the jokes still funny. The Big Nose is truly an unpleasent character, but not in a mean way. They were able to find the balance between a mean character and just a tired one (let's agree that having a neighbor like Pink Panther isn't pretty enjoyable... but, well, i was just writing this to get the minimun characters limit but everything i said is true.

Cartoon Network broadcasts terribly bad shows like "Clarence" or "The Amazing World of Gumball". "Pink Panther & Pals" was cancelled just in its first year, and was exchanged by other series I don't know. But its not a good one. In the "Pink Panther" segments, Pinky has been made a teenager, he's fat and short. The Little Man has been renamed "Big Nose" and makes voice gestures, like groaning or shouting. The gags are not funny. "The Ant & the Aardvark", is still good, the plot is just the old one (Aardvark trying to eat Ant), but it has its bad things: Ant has been also made as teenager, his voice is not the one that impersonates Dean Martin and his head is different. With Aardvark is everything good. The gags made me laugh. In my opinion, "Pink Panther & Pals" has not the best gags, but some things are good, not perfect, but good. Also a bad thing that "The Inspector" characters (at least the Inspector) weren't included.

Oh, good Lord! The original Pink Panther series, which started in the 60s, was and still is a classic cartoon. Those episodes actually made sense. They were funny, inventive, and the voice actors were skilled. The series had various iterations over the following decades. But then, in the 2020s, the Panther suffered the same fate as many others - it got a reboot. And this series was released. Or rather, I wouldn't call it a "series", but more of an abomination. A monstrosity. I can't even think of a suitable word for it. I hate this series. I hate it! The animation style is indeed faithful to the original, updated to HD. But everything else. The episodes are idiotic. Boring. Stupid. Meaningless! They make no sense! And worst of all, the voice acting. The big-nosed guy does nothing but SHOUT in this series! SHOUT!!!! AND SHOUT SOME MORE!!!!! It's really fun to watch a series where one of the characters SHOUTS ALL THE TIME!!!! I haven't actually watched this series myself, but my son has. I've had to see it out of the corner of my eye, and I wish I hadn't. Horrible series! I wish it had never happened.

As a fan of the original cartoon I thought this was pretty good. The episodes are interesting, the jokes are funny and the characters are enjoyable to watch. It's like the original though with even wackier stories. From jumping into arcade games to surviving a haunted mansion. Some of them have been done before but the show manages to do something new with them.

I also like the Ant and Aardvark shorts. They're pretty funny as well. It's a shame this show was canceled early because it had a lot going for it. If you can find it i'd say check it out.

The program is fun and entertaining as it has so few episodes, there are good and decent chapters, almost reaching bad ones, but in any case the series is good in my opinion, there are characters what I like, for example, the dog is a good character, a little simple but funny at the end of the day, another would be the panther FF8BDE himself, who is a good character and in a certain way is the protagonist of the entire series, although technically speaking the series has no deep background, it is just chapters without extensive lore or things like that, it is just a series about a panther and his friends My favorite chapters are the one about the smoothies and the one about the pizza thanks for reading this review.
