Since Pink doesn't talk, you can't really tell that he'd been de-aged. Maybe a few inches are missing, from what I could tell.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-89339470523965331672016-09-10T11:54:11.247-04:002016-09-10T11:54:11.247-04:00I didn't realize that Pink was intentionally c...I didn't realize that Pink was intentionally changed to a child. It doesn't really work, since the lanky adult Pink Panther is iconic.<br />Also, the backgrounds are really off-putting on the PP shorts. They've copied the Freling-DePatie style, but miss the point. The originals were stylized, but they were still well-though out. The new ones had the sketch style, but perspective was broken all around, foreground and background don't work together, and so on.<br />Overall, it looks very cheap and cookie cutter.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607654373945364662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-11622958449959695412016-09-06T08:23:24.895-04:002016-09-06T08:23:24.895-04:00It ran on Boomerang overseas in 2011, per the usua...It ran on Boomerang overseas in 2011, per the usually unreliable Wikipedia. I hadn't seen it until screening the episode posted. The Panther, de-aged into a teenager? No wonder this was a bomb.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-28991365000050033252016-09-05T22:19:41.178-04:002016-09-05T22:19:41.178-04:00IIRC, Pink Panther & Pals sat on the shelf for...IIRC, Pink Panther & Pals sat on the shelf for a couple of years before Turner finally aired the series, initially on Cartoon Network on Sunday mornings and then a few weeks later the series was moved to Boomerang, where it finished it one season run.<br /><br />I saw a couple of episodes of PP&P. The Panther shorts weren't great, but they weren't terrible either. I would typically watch these shorts and then immediately forget about them and move on with the rest of my day. The Pinkster being de-aged into a teenager seemed unnecessary, though.<br /><br />The Ant and the Aardvark shorts were definitely the weak link of the show. The lack of John Byner's vocals haunted those shorts constantly.Goldstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846460632113045285noreply@blogger.com
