Some things I liked some I did not.
Nice effects though.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This was mildly entertaining. There aren't really any laugh-out-loud jokes but it's interesting to watch our two good guys - The Inspector and Deux-Deux - travel from Paris to Egypt to Mount Kilimanjaro and then back to France. The scenery and artwork with it are very colorful and fun to look at, and make up for the so-so gags. It's mainly the two guys trying to catch a mysterious "Mr. X" and their inability to nab him.There is a surprise ending here, appreciated by all but Clouseau.This cartoon can be seen on the DVD "The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection, Vol. 6 - Inspector Cartoons.
This cartoon is one of the better Clouseau cartoons. Clouseau and his sidekick are in pursuit of a mystery man, chasing him over a great many different terrains, in different weather conditions and usually with rather painful and visually comic end results for their efforts. The final scene, in which Clouseau learns the identity of his quarry, the reasons for the chase and comes away with a measure of payback, is hilarious! Recommended.
