What Parents Need to Know

About The Pink Panther

Parents need to know that kids will find this animated classic enjoyable for the same reason they find most other shows enjoyable -- the stories are engaging, funny, and, at times, action-packed. But what sets this series apart from other cartoons is that its entertaining elements are executed in good taste, with very little content that could be considered objectionable.

How is the cartoon series related to the live-action Pink Panther movies -- both the original and the remake? Which is funnier -- the movies, or the cartoon? Why?
