This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
In the Inspector's last cartoon, he's using an shopping cart to take his groceries home. Then the Narrator gives him the bad news, he stole it. The Inspector tries many times to get rid of it. All of his tries failed. One of his moves was to disguise it as an car and it fooled an officer and gives him an ticket. Another move was to have an train run over it and it to didn't work. He even tries to return it at the end of the film but, set off the alarm and runs. The animation wasn't bad and the gags are OK. However this was the last of the Inspector series and overall the series was funny. As for this short, it was overall good enough to have some funny gags. It gets an 7 out of 10. Worth watching on Bommerang's Pink Panther show.
