Product Description

Originally produced for theatrical release and later broadcast as part of The Pink Panther television series, The Ant and the Aardvark revived the timeless cartoon conflict of predator and prey, and modernized it with an irreverent sense of humor and a splashy color palette emblematic of the late 1960s and early '70s. This special edition includes all 17 episodes of The Ant and the Aardvark, as well as interviews with the men and women who collaborated on these animated classics.

These were what I grew up watching as a kid. Very, very funny. Good quality video as well. Nice to see the cartoons of old when they were REALLY funny, not like the ones today

Just received my Ant. And the aardvark complete series on Blu-ray and I must say the picture quality is truly amazing and sound from a cartoon from the 69 1971 purchase. Blue ray This was one of my favorite cartoons growing up as a kid and having it nice and remastered on a Blu-ray couldn’t ask for anything better. This is a nice set worth every dime and a big improvement over the DVD collection I had highly recommend this item in any fan of this classic cartoon from back in the day. Thank u

A Classic In Every Sense Of The Word

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016

Originally produced in 1969-1971, "The Ant and the Aardvark" cartoons were instant classics. I never saw them in the theater (cartoons used to precede features quite frequently), but did see them on television as part of the Pink Panther series (which I also love). This DVD contains all 17 episodes as well as a couple of notable commentary tracks and two documentaries, both of which were fascinating and presented a lot of information I didn't previously know.

I always loved the garish colors and stylized backgrounds in these shorts, and after watching all these in a marathon I think the series holds up amazingly well, and I am particularly fond of "Technology, Phooey" and "Scratch a Tiger". Of course John Byner, who voiced the characters, deserves a lot of credit for the success of this series as his vocalizations of the two main characters and their interactions gave their individual personalities a loveable patina that was vital to the success of the show. This is a great package that looks and sounds great and has wonderful bonuses, and it helped me remember why "The Ant and the Aardvark" was always a favorite of mine. Highly recommended for all ages.

The complete run of the Ant and The Aardvark cartoons that ran from 1969-1971. I remember these airing on Sunday mornings with Pink Panther, The Inspector, and Tijuana (aka Texas) Toads. The picture quality is outstanding--they did a great job restoring these. Menus are widescreen but the shorts themselves are presented in original aspect ratio (1.33:1), matted left and right, just as they should be.

Just As Fun Now As It Was Then

I loved this show growing up and was pleased to find it available on DVD. The comedy and animation followed the storylines very well. The Jackie Mason voice of the aardvark and the easy going attitude of the ant makes the show fun every time I watch. I'll never get bored with this set.

This is a well-mastered, clear reproduction of some classic and adorable cartoons, with good quality sound too. There are 17 episodes and I believe this must be the entire series. It has some amazing, almost "politically incorrect" cliche lines spoken by the Aardvark. He is really the cutie here as far as I'm concerned, not the ant! The disc was free of any skips or audio defects and came as advertised.

A must-have for Aardvark lovers!
