1960's Cartoon: The Ant and the Aardvark?

Question

I loved that cartoon!! But I can't find it anywhere. Not in re-runs, not on the internet... it like it never existed. Does anyone know where to look?

Answer 1

The ant and aardvark were part of the Pink Panther series.

When I was a kid, watching Pink Panther reruns in the morning before heading off to school, my favorite character was never the big guy himself. Sure, Pink was cool, but kind of forgettable. No, I preferred the big blue anteater from The Ant and the Aardvark shorts.

After the success of the Pink Panther character, DePatie-Freleng Productions was called upon to create a few more cartoons. On March 5, 1969, the adversarial pair debuted in a self-titled cartoon, following the predator/prey dynamic of such cartoons as Tom and Jerry or the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. In their first adventure, Ant tries to raid an unattended picnic while Aardvark tries to catch him. Nothing groundbreaking, but audiences liked the pair enough that they would show up in 16 more shorts.

I'm not sure, but those might be included on the deluxe Pink Panther dvd collection:

Hope that helps.

/Edit: Hmmm...I just read that the ant/aardvark cartoons are NOT on the Pink Panther collection. Sorry about that.

Answer 2
