The Pink Panther Cartoon Collection DVD

The Pink Panther is - paws down - the world's grooviest cartoon star. In 1964, this pink-inked feline slinked onto the opening credits of Blake Edwards' caper film by the same name and threatened to steal the entire show. Sleek, sophisticated and witty, the animation, produced by Friz Freleng and David H. DePatie, was a stylish departure from its contemporaries…and an instant hit. Read more

Futurama - Season 1
Futurama is Matt Groening's second animated outing and he and his team deliver in the difficult task of following up to the massive Simpson's phenomenon. Whilst not as popular as 'The Simpsons', it is equally as hilarious and at best as good, with its stylish and kitsch backdrop combing farce and satire with superb gags that come thick and fast.

This first series sees pizza delivery boy Fry transferred 1000 years into the future in a cryogenic mistake. There, he meets the beautiful, one-eyed Leela and the incorrigible alcoholic robot Bender. The three of them join Professor Farmsworth to work in his intergalactic delivery service.

Stories include Fry discovers he is a billionaire thanks to 1,000 years accrued interest, Leela must fend off the attentions of Captain Kirk-like Lothario Zapp Brannigan, and Fry accidentally drinks the ruler of a strange planet of liquid beings.

The DVD itself is let down by a clumsy menu, and an absence of any 'Play All' facility but the extras make up for it. There are amusing commentaries by Matt Groening along with various members of his team as well as the expected deleted scenes with the script and storyboard for the very first episode and an interactive stills gallery.

Futurama - Season 2
The second series continues the hig standards set by the first as we rejoin characters such as Leela, Fry and Bender in the 31st century. Bender is given a 'feelings' chip in order to empathise with Leela after he flushes Nibbles down the toilet. In "Raging Bender", the surly robot is hired by the manager of the Wrestling League and becomes an instant hit as 'Bender the Offender'

Futurama's four-disc package features many extras such as audio commentaries, storyboards, trailers, mock ads for "Soylent Chow" and "Human Rinds" and deleted scenes, including one from "Bender Gets Made" in which he seeks to evade the Robot Mafia by changing his identity

Unfortunately the series was cancelled in the middle of the fifth series so enjoy what is available.

Futurama - Season 4
The fourth and last series of Futurama is here. Far-sighted and unveiling a myriad of in-jokes and sci-fi gags, Matt Groenings acclaimed cartoon series unfortunately failed to connect with a mainstream audience.

So, Au Revoir--Fry, Leela, Zoidberg, Bender, Amy, Hermes, Prof Farnsworth--as well as to kindly Kif, cloned Cubert, megalomaniac Mom, mutants in the sewer, the cast of robo-sitcom All My Circuits, swashbuckling space lothario and William Shatner wannabe Zapp Brannigan, Elzar the four-armed chef, and all the other characters that made Futurama such a unique experience.

Futurama, Series 4 DVD box set includes a "Play All" function on each disc. Multifarious extras include cast and crew commentaries, deleted scenes, animatics, galleries and Easter eggs
