I think so. The goofy hero if you will
I remember seeing this one in syndication. Such memories. The Pink Panther is like The Roadrunner and Bugs Bunny, isn’t he? The smart character who always wins in the end.
Me too. I’m happy to have grown up with cartoons like these
Absolutely love The Pink Panther. I have all of them and my son grew up on them. I love silent movies and these are close…no dialog and just enough action.
