Delightful Childhood Memories: Klondike Kat and Savoir-Faire

Who remembers Klondike Kat and Savoir-Faire?
1966 ‧ Children's television series

Klondike Kat always gets his mouse!  NOT!! ☺ ☺

Klondike is a wildcat Canadian mountie, of the famed Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He is always chasing and never apprehending the notorious Savoir-Faire, a French-Canadian mouse who constantly steals food and is known for his catchphrase, "Savoir-Faire eez everywhere!"

To which Klondike would answer in frustration, "...I'm gonna make mincemeat out of that mouse!" (Source)

This series came after Tom and Jerry (1940), but it was just as beloved.  It is one of the treasures in animation history.

If you dressed up in a Halloween costume as Klondike Kat or Savoir-Faire, do you think anybody would recognize who you are supposed to be?  LOL.  Probably NOT!

Is there a cartoon series that you enjoyed when you were growing up?  Yeah I know.  This cartoon is showing my age. ☺

The Pink Panther (1963) ~ Both the Movie and the Soundtrack are Classic!

The Pink Panther is a 1963 British comedy film.

Both the Movie and the Soundtrack are Classic!

Peter Sellers was the perfect person to play the clumsy French detective Jacques Clouseau.  His job is to prevent a notorious thief from stealing a world famous jewel known as "The Pink Panther" which belongs to a princess.

The Pink Panther | Soundtrack Suite (Henry Mancini) ~ youtu.be/ilull9eS3mQ 

I like the original music from the original Pink Panther movie. Henry Mancini won an award for it and he said he can't believe he received an award for making up such fun music. 

They remade the Pink Panther movie in 2006 ("The Pink Panther 2") and it starred Beyoncé and Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau. Beyoncé also contributed to the soundtrack. I didn't care too much for the remake or the music from the remake. Even though I enjoy the comedic genius of Steve Martin, he could not top Peter Sellers.  I'm sure even Mr. Martin would agree with me.

Nope!  My mind was not changed, The original movie released in the 1960s and the soundtrack to the movie are both vintage classic memorable entertainment!

I would not recommend the 2006 remake; however I would recommend:  "The Return of the Pink Panther" (1975); "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" (1976); or any of the many other sequels to the original Pink Panther movie which starred Peter Sellers.  I would also recommend the hilarious animated TV series "The Pink Panther Show" (1969).

Animated Series: Justice League

For some of us, the childhood memories of superheroes run deep. They don’t just represent beings with superhuman powers. They are symbolic of much larger matters like “truth, justice, and the American Way”. That’s how they are remembered and now they have evolved or expanded, and have a global and even universal united role to play in saving ALL mankind (you have to give the mean and nasty humans an opportunity to repent)  and … uuhhh … nice aliens worth saving!  :)
