Volume 2 of this 3-volume set is not as good as Volume 1 which
has the episode where Henry Mancini applauds the pink feline
orchestra conductor and where you hear the Pink Panther speak. It is
much better than Volume 3, though. For those who like the cartoons
with only background music (that's what gives this cartoon so much
charm), there are no voices on this DVD and, even better, a laugh
track only ruins two episodes. This DVD also includes one of my
favorites: "Pink Valient." If you really like PP, definitely get the
5-disc set that includes all three volumes of the Classic Cartoon
Collection along with two additional discs with more cartoons and
extras (no Aardvark episodes and I think there is only one episode
of The Inspector, however). The cartoons on Volume 2 are from
1967-68 and include the following 27 cartoons:
Pink of the Litter: PP is a trash collector who finds disposal more
of a difficulty.
In the Pink: PP joins a gym and of course makes life miserable for
another exerciser.
Jet Pink: I remember this ep well because it is featured on
Viewmaster reels I had as a kid (and still have). PP tries his hand
(uh, paw) at being a pilot.
Pink Paradise: PP visits an island and runs into a hunter and his
dog. Of course, any mahem PP causes will be blamed on the dog.
Pinto Pink: Another ep featured on my Viewmaster reels. PP tries to
ride a hilarious horse.
Congratulations, It's Pink: PP sets out to steal a picnic basket but
gets a baby in a basket instead. At one point, he leaves it with an
Indian couple and the husband becomes irate and attacks the white
trading post guy. Definitely not PC!
Prefabricated Pink: PP is on a construction site and causes
destruction.
The Hand is Pinker Than the Eye: PP sneaks into a magician's home
and encounters magic props and an amorous rabbit.
Pink Outs: Weak episode. Just various clips that end with a pink
screen.
Sky Blue Pink: PP tries his paw at kite-flying and terrorizes his
neighbor so much he becomes the Red Baron.
Pinkadilly Circus: After a man removes a nail from PP's foot, PP is
so grateful, he insists on being the man's slave. The man finds good
use for PP against his nagging wife.
Psychedelic Pink: (Laugh Track=LT) Very strange ep, hence the title.
PP visits the Bizarre Book Shop and wants to read "The Love Life of
the Panther" (that's funny). From there, the ep goes all over the
place.
Come on in the Water's Pink: PP visits Bicep Beach and competes with
a body builder.
Put-Put Pink: PP builds a motorbike.
G.I. Pink: PP joins the Army and the nation has never been safer.
Lucky Pink: A robber tries to get rid of an unlucky horseshoe but PP
keeps returning it to him.
The Pink Quarterback: PP chases after a rolling quarter that could
buy him a hot dog or a hamburger (it must be the 1960s).
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Pink: PP builds a house in the view of an
observation telescope.
Pink Valiant: A favorite of mine. A king hires PP to rescue his
kidnapped daughter (who just runs around screaming). The kidnapper
ends up as the one who really needs saving.
The Pink Pill: PP slips on a banana peel and winds up in the
hospital with an annoying roommate.
Prehistoric Pink: PP and his stone-aged buddy try various ways to
move a rectangular stone.
Pink in the Clink: (LT) PP is forced to assist a burglar.
Little Beaux Pink: PP has run-ins with a cowboy who doesn't like
PP's grazing sheep.
Tickled Pink: PP asks his fairy godmother for roller skates and soon
regrets it. He'll get even with his fairy godmother, however.
Pink Sphinx: PP is on a quest to find Rameses III with an unhelpful
camel.
Pink is a Many Splintered Thing: PP becomes a lumberjack.
The Pink Package Plot: PP is forced to deliver a ticking package to
the Slobvanian embassy.
