Thanks for the memories!
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
This is an Inspector Clouseau short (though they aren't called that, it's an animated version of Clouseau). There will be spoilers ahead:The Inspector essentially carries this one. While out for a stroll, The Inspector bumps into a bank robber who looks like him. He gets the loot away from the robber only to get arrested for the robbery.The bulk of the short is The Inspector in prison. The only person who believes he's a cop is his cell-mate, who he sent to jail. This is rather unfortunate for The Inspector.The Inspector makes repeated escape attempts which are extraordinarily unsuccessful and highly detrimental to his chances for release. The cartoon is a bit predictable, but the ending is cute.This short is on the second of two The Inspector DVDs which collect the 34 shorts in the series. The DVDs are well worth getting.
