stupid subplot of Rita stealing and eating gold

these are the sort of things you only care about if you remember the originals... tho with the rate they're re-making things now it's not hard to see several remakes within a decade *coughspiderman*.

It took me years as a child to forgive the film for not being like the cartoon The Pink Panther.

-time to watch some Pink Panther cartoons!
Thanks for the tip.

If you hype it, they will come.

I can't speak to the rest because that's mostly just personal taste. But the Pink Panther live action film predates the popular animated shorts. The animated character was initially just a stylized intro and credits sequence for the opening of the film. Then the animated shorts became their own things and incredibly popular and widely viewed via Saturday Morning cartoons and the like, which resulted in that being a lot of people's primary exposure to it. But it was understood by adult film audiences at the time that the shorts were just a separate amusing stylized thing, not indicative of the film's actual premise.

The Pink Panther actually refers to the name of a diamond, which serves as sort of the MacGuffin in the film's plot. No one felt misled by that, everyone understood it at the time. The cartoons becoming popular just sort of subsequently changed that for subsequent generations.

Similar things happen a lot. Take the cartoon "The Real Ghostbusters" (which had to be called that to differentiate them from Ghost Busters, an earlier, totally unrelated cartoon - which for kids at the time was even more confusing lol.) While nominally it's the same characters as in the live action movies, they look, are stylized, and act, completely differently. And depending on which one you saw first - the series or the movies - 80's kids might have entirely different conceptualizations of what constituted "Ghostbusters" for them.

It's just stylization, representational synthesis, and adaptation. It's not unusual. You just have to kind of discern between the versions of things and mode-switch mentally between them as necessary. I wouldn't really call it "false advertising," personally.

:cool_seagull:

agree the originals with Peter Sellers were the best, classic Dreyfus & Clouseau... I remember laughing so hard my stomach hurt with the ether scene and the face makeup melting
