With a nose for clues, an eye for intrigue and a mind like a steel trap that's jammed shut, The Inspector sets out to solve Paris' most puzzling crime mysteries.

Summary: There are 17 more Inspector cartoons
Comment: The 17 shorts on this disc are only half of the Inspector shorts produced by DFE. A boxset containing the entire run of the Pink Panther shorts, the Ant and the Aardvark shorts, two discs of Inspector shorts (this one and presumably one with the other 17 shorts) and the Roland and Ratfink shorts has been announced both as part of a larger set which will include most of the Peter Sellers PP films and the animated shorts and as a set featuring only the animated shorts I've listed above.

I very much hope that they'll release the second Inspector disc and the Roland and Ratfink disc as individual discs, because I have all the others and can't afford to buy the whole set just for the two DVDs I don't have.

For anyone who doesn't have the other DVDs, the set does look like a very good release if you're interested in the DePatie-Freleng shorts. If all you want are the Inspector shorts, then this particular DVD is well worth getting and hopefully the second disc of Inspector shorts will also be a stand-alone release.

Summary: Worth Every Penny
Comment: This DVD is worth every penny I paid for it. Really, I'd pay twice that amount, considering how much enjoyment my children have gotten out of it. They watch it over and over, until I make them turn it off anyway. They giggle hysterically the whole time, and then walk around for the next few days acting out their favorite parts (thankfully not in a way anyone gets hurt) and quoting others. They've picked up on the "say oui, not si" joke and run with it. (7 year old asks 4 year old "did you see that part in Star Wars where...". 4 year old answers, "say oui, not si". Both fall over laughing.)

I suppose it might annoy someone else, but I grew up watching "The Inspector", and it was one of favorite cartoons. It's not quite as hilarious to me now, or I would have given it 5 stars. But it's still a great show, that your kids will love.

Summary: Brilliant Stuff
Comment: I remember this from the Pink Panther show and between it and the Aardvark (which I also own) I am very satisfied.
I love his side-kick Spanish friend whom he's always trying to get to speak French. These cartoons are very funny and not too violent.

Summary: Great cartoon!
Comment: This DVD is awesome! I've been waiting for the Inspector cartoons to come out ever since the release of the complete Pink Panther cartoons. I have the Ant and the Aardvark DVD too. I hope they continue to release the other cartoons that were shown with the Pink Panther like the Tijuana Toads and the Shark ones. The Inspector cartoons are just like I remember them and just as funny today as they were 25 years ago. Keep 'em coming!

Summary: Why not first?
Comment: This is an amazing collection. What I don't understand is why The Inspector wasn't introduced the DVD world first. It is THAT amazing. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I have and will continue to do thanks to this new DVD collection. :D
