On a recent visit to see my grandchildren I noticed they were watching the old Pink Panther cartoons, that I watched as a child, and they were laughing and giggling. I decided to buy them the DVD so they could watch Pink Panther anytime they wanted. Great to watch my old favorites which now I share with my grandchildren!

From the beautiful graphics on the package cover to the 27 cartoons within, this classic release is in every way a delight. So why not five stars for the felicitous feline? Simply because of the annoying ad you have to skip every time to watch a cartoon. What's more, the ad urges viewers not to steal movies. Ironically, it's addressed to people who actually bought the DVD, the only audience you can be sure didn't steal these cartoons by illegally downloading them.
So this becomes a prolonged exercise in punishing the innocent (I've checked two other volumes in the series and they both have the ad). Why doesn't MGM pay to put their anti-theft message on television where the guilty parties can view it instead of making the buyer pay to see it? I don't know if the deluxe set with all the individual discs in it also has the ad on every disc, but the menu opens with the same graphics, so I suspect it does.
Although I waited for this release with anticipation, it's not worth it having to skip the ad every time to get to the cartoons. Enough is enough. It's time to rebel. As with Shout Factory releases, I will not be running to buy any more MGM cartoons on DVD until I know they are not bogged down with ads.

I recently found that i liked the old-school pink panther episodes. This is a great collection of them. I enjoyed watching all of them. Definitely recommended.

I thought that Volume 2 was better than Volume 1, but this is a very well put together DVD. I saw half of the films, and laughed like crazy when the Pink Panther would outsmart everybody in those films. The last time I watched these 1964-1967 cartoons was in 1980, when they showed 30-minute shows of these films on local TV stations. They showed the 1965 and 1966 films, even some from 1967 and 1968 a lot. It's like time never faded away--these films are still fresh and watchable today and fit well in today's Internet/IPod world. They repeat the music a lot in most films, but Henry Mancini's score music is still catchy--it's still in my head a good 26 years later (Yes, I do go out a lot--I don't get too overaddicted to TV too much)! I still hum to some parts from those films even up to today! Sometimes, the Pink Panther films borrow a bit from the Warner Bros. cartoons--especially the funny Road Runner/Wily E. Coyote chases, the Acme Manufacturing products, the anvils, the falling off of a cliff to the ground and so forth. This is a fun DVD that can be watched by everyone of all ages! So funny!
