I remember this cartoon airing benefit when I was a kid in the early 1980s. It was during a 1/2 hour cartoon exhibit with an episode of either The Inspector or The Ant and the Aardvark sandwiched between two episodes of The Pink Panther. As soon as I heard the jazzy theme song to Ant and the Aardvark, it bought me attend. I’m joyful I can add this DVD to my Pink Panther collection and, like other reviewers, am hoping for the release of The Inspector which may be my current of that trio of cartoons.
The Ant and the Aardvark is enchanting on many levels (animation, voices, one-liners, music) . That tall, goofy-looking blue aardvark (so horrid, he’s cute) and that fun, jazzy music. What really makes the note are the accents given to the characters by John Byner. Charlie, the ant, is a hip daddy-o who sounds like Dean Martin. Even better is the Aardvark who has a stereotypical north-eastern Jewish accent (his say was patterned after Novel York comedian Jackie Mason) . Almost anything he says is comic. There are many hilarious one-liners, especially in the early episodes. The indicate was released to theatres between March 1969 to May 1971, but I assume even today’s kids will savor this cartoon.
Here are the 17 episodes in order of their release:
1. “The Ant and the Aardvark”– The ant tries to choose home an entire picnic, but the aardvark would like to accomplish a picnic of him. Aardvark after a pie to the face–”Coconut cream pie. You know how I know it’s coconut? Because it’s got a coconut in it, and it huyts!”
2. “Quick But Tasty”–The hip daddy-o ant gets himself some wheels in the obtain of a motorcycle. The aardvark after swallowing a giant sandwich–”You know, peanut butter really sticks to the roof of your wait on.”
3. “The Ant From Uncle”–Clever title–a take-off of “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” The aardvark introduces himself to the audience. He then tries to derive the ant to visit “The Ant’s Club” in his stomach and visits the ant’s pad: “What is this location? Nothing but hallways.” We secure out the ant’s name is Charlie and we meet “Charlie’s Aunt” (a reference to the classic play and later film “Charley’s Aunt”) .
4. “I’ve Got Ants in My Plans”–The aarvark and his rival, the green aardvark, compete over Charlie.
5. “Technology, Phooey”–The aardvark purchases a computer that sounds a petite like Paul Lynde (it’s not his roar, though) to back him procure Charlie. Aardvark: “I could say something lawful now, but it would only catch censored.”
6. “Never Bug an Ant”–The aardvark tries many creative ways to regain the ant–none work but they are creative. Aardvark: “I’d rather be a banker and have a businessman’s lunch.” Ant: “Lucky for me, an ant can acquire 100,000 times his gain weight” (that comes in handy) .
7. “Dune Bug”–Charlie is vacationing at the beach and the aardvark keeps getting kicked off for not wearing a leash.
8. “Isle of Caprice”–The aardvark somehow ends up on a deserted island and tries to swim to an adjacent island inhabited by ants–but a shark keeps putting the chomp on his plans. No Charlie in this one (sorry, Charlie) .
9. “Scratch a Tiger”–For pulling a thorn out of his foot, a tiger protects Charlie and his ant buddies from the aardvark. The tables are turned, however, when the aardvark also relieves the tiger of a painful thorn.
10. “Strange Ant Out”–The aardvark competes with his rival green anteater over a can of chocolate-covered ants. Charlie is only seen at the destroy.

13. “Mumbo Jumbo”–An elephant, and fellow member of the Brothers of the Forest Lodge 202, comes to Charlie’s help when he’s confronted by the aardvark–”With a mouth as cramped as mine, I’ve got to steal on somebody his size or I’d starve.”
14. “The Froze Nose Knows”–It’s winter time, but there’s no hibernation for the aardvark–he probably should mediate it, though.
15. “Don’t Hustle an Ant With Muscle”–Charlie takes strength vitamins and becomes a muscle-bound powerhouse who can even catch the aardvark to be his waiter: “I never opinion it would happen to me, an aardvark bringing lunch to an ant.”
16. “Rough Brunch”–Charlie finds aid from a family of termites who makes life poor for the aardvark.
17. “From Bed to Worse”–The Ant and the Aardvark are hit by a car and are save in an animal clinic with an indignant dog. The puny outmoded lady nurse reminds me of Tweety Bird’s owner. Aardvark: “The hospitality around here can fabricate a person sick.”
This single disk DVD includes every single “The Ant and the Aardvark” short. There were 17 in all. If you like The Pink Panther, this series was made by the same company in the same style. If this dwelling sells well, MGM might deem a complete “The Inspector,” “Hoot Kloot,” “Blue Racer” and “Tijuana Toads.” For less than $[...] you can’t go noxious. Besides, this cartoon is worthy better than the cartoons on good now.
