The Inspector Collection (1969)

The Pink Panther Collection has been renamed The Inspector Collection (Save and Play title) since my request on 23 Sep 2007 to correct the description (since 17 5-min cartoons do not total 425 minutes). Nevertheless the description and episode list still remain incomplete. Furthermore, this disc is all but identical to the second disc in The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection: The Inspector: Vol. 1 (Save and Play title, reviewed there) and Vol. 2 (Save but not Play title, reviewed there). I give 3.5 stars to the Inspector Clouseau cartoons for overall story and illustration quality. This collection is a bit more rococo in style (esp. with architecture) than The Pink Panther but without the "cool" factor of the Pink One himself. You have to love the unflappable calm with which the Inspector usually confronts each challenge and esp. the mild-mannered confusion of his ever-present sidekick Deux-Deux. 3.5 stars.
