In this one, Sylvester Sneakly (Paul Lynde) aka "The Hooded Claw" does his best to grab hold of young, innocent race car driver Penelope Pitstop - and her money. If Peter Perfect couldn't save her, the Ant Hill Mob would be close behind. Is it any wonder the kids who grew up on these cartoons are so fond of NASCAR today? From the press release: The Ant Hill Mob has to protect Penelope Pitstop from a murderous lawyer who is after her inheritance. Sylvester Sneekly, having become the legal guardian of female race car driver Penelope Pitstop, acquires the disguise of 'The Hooded Claw' for the purpose of killing her so as to acquire her wealth. He is foiled in his efforts by Penelope's protectors, the 'Ant Hill Mob' (Clyde, Softly, Zippy, Pockets, Dum Dum, Yak Yak and Snoozy). This kind of chase cartoon was the network's reaction to violence on Saturday mornings and they were popular in one form or another (see also Speed Buggy) for more than a decade. The Perils of Penelope Pitstop includes commentary by voice actors and animation veterans on two episodes and all 17 episodes of the production. Loads of retro-fun, makes a great baby sitter. If you like that one, you'll also like this one:
These shows were both spinoffs of the phenomenally successful Wacky Races (1968-1970). These two 1969 animated series were the top rated cartoons of the time - with the Dastardly, Muttley and their Flying Machines ("STOP THAT PIGEON!") collection you get all 17 episodes on three discs along with commentary on two episodes by Hanna-Barbera's top artists from the day.
