Personally, I find it criminal that CN not only took this show down in a year, but that it wasn't critically panned but was dropped due to low ratings. In reality though this show is better than what what you would think. Pink Panther and Pal is a modern take on both Pink Panther and The Ant and The Aardvark and so many more. Now it may sound like a show that has been done to death, but it has a lot of creative twists in it. The characters on this show have great personalities to them, and each bring their own humor. Pink is my favorite since he is so level minded. He can solve a problem but be calm about it. Big Nose is his rival, and even though he act like a stereotypical villain, he's still pretty cool. he can also be understood for Pink's antics and selfish since he's the big bad of the show. Ant is also level minded, he also solve problems and be calm about it. Aardvark is Ant's rival who want to eat him. He also wants to become something like Neo Cortex. Big Noes' Dog is his henchman who helps him foil Pink's fun. The horse is Pink's friend who appears as a guest star. Each character on this show brings a good amount of humor. The humor can range from slapstick, to gags, and to random humor that is done right. Whenever I see this show there will be plenty of laughs. The stories are good, and creative. While some of them are rehashed there are new elements added to the mix to keep the episode fresh. The artwork is really good in this show. The characters and monsters have good, if not inspired, designs, and the sets look creative. The animation though is stiff sometimes, and can be a little choppy. I really wish this show didn't have to end so soon. CN didn't give this show a proper chance at all, and didn't deserve to end so soon. If you haven't seen this show yet see if you can find DVDs of the series or if there are episodes on YouTube. Pink Panther and Pals will in my mind be remembered as a classic, and is a show well worth bringing back, and watching.
