The Ant and The Aardvark - Revivals

Revivals

The continued popularity of the series has led to at least two revivals as of 2012.

The first revival featured the characters as part on the 1993 incarnation of The Pink Panther. The characters remained unchanged, though unlike the original 1969-1971, they do not appear in their own segments but rather are included in segments featuring the Pink Panther (now voiced by Matt Frewer). John Byner returned to voice both Charlie Ant and the Aardvark.

The second revival occurred in 2010 as part of Pink Panther and Pals. In keeping with the younger theme (the panther is cast as a teenage version of himself), Charlie Ant (who is never referred to as such throughout the series) is a young, urban teenager voiced by Kel Mitchell best known for Nickelodeon's Kenan & Kel. The Aardvark ethnic humor, however, is retained; he is voiced by Eddie Garvar in the style of John Byner's Jackie Mason impersonation.
