OK, someone around here is asking for a New Pink Panther Movie . . . and it ain't me!

I have to confess I've never gotten into the Pink Panther. He's one of those cartoon characters that always seem to come across as flat and dull. Having grown up with Warner Bros. cartoons kinda spoils anything else on offer.

I remember the Pnk Panther from the opening credits from the 1963 movie, but I was more impressed by the musical theme than the Pink Panther.

By 1965, the stage was set for the Saturday Morning  Superhero Revolution, featuring the upstart Filmation against veteran Hanna-Barbera. And things really heated up to the point that CBS and ABC dominated SatAM - meanwhile, NBC had htched their wagon to DePattie/Freleng who offered The Pink Panther followed by more Pink Panther.

The Pink Panther Show was fine for little kids, but I was a strapping 12 year old watching Superman, Batman, Fantastic Voyage, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Pink Panther seemed more like baby stuff to me.
