Description
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. A subsequent short film, The Pink Phink, would go on to win* an Oscar® and spawn a celebrated series of six-minute cartoons featuring the sly cat. Now, for the first time, 124 cartoons produced by Freleng and DePatie between 1964 and 1980 are collected here in a swingin' 5-disc set. With over 14 hours of "pink comedy," you can't help but lick your whiskers!
Customer reviews for 'The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection'
«Think Pink: The Pink Panther Classic Collection!»
Think pink and, no doubt, you'll think of The Pink Panther. Created expressly as an opening main title sequence for Blake Edwards' The Pink Panther feature film, the animated Pink Panther character was so well received by audiences and critics, the silent cool cat (powered by Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme) ultimately became an international sensation resulting in several main title sequences, theatrical shorts (including Oscar-winner "The Pink Phink") and Saturday morning shorts. All of which are included in The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection, a pink-packed 5-disc (single-sided) set featuring all-new digital transfers of 124 original cartoons from 1964-1980; Full-Frame video; English mono audio; French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles; Closed Captions; booklet with history and episode list; plus the following all-new Special Features:
* Behind the Feline: The Cartoon Phenomenon - Documentary examines the popularity of the Pink Panther cartoons through interviews with Blake Edwards and David H. DePatie.
* Pink Patter With Art Leonardi: The Story Behind the Animation - Featurette explores the history and creation of the series thru discussion with original animator Art Leonardi.
* Remembering Friz - An interview with the creator's daughters on Friz Freleng's legacy.
* Think Pink: How to Draw the Pink Panther - A short drawing lesson from original animator Art Leonardi.
* Page to Screen: In the Pink & Pink Blueprint - Features original storyboard-to-screen cartoon comparisons of "In the Pink" and "Pink Blueprint" shorts.
* Animated Main Title Sequences of... The Pink Panther, A Shot in the Dark, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Revenge of the Pink Panther, Trail of the Pink Panther.
* "Life in a Pink Factory" From American Cinematographer - An in-depth text interview with the Pink Panther's creators, David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng.
Highly Recommended!

«Awesome set!»
If you're looking for a special gift for a child these days, be SURE to pick this up! Every child who has come into this house is just as enthralled with Mr. Pink Panther as I was back in the 60s. Since he was my absolute favorite cartoon, I had to get this set. It certainly has been the instant hit with all the kids in the neighborhood and mine even play the theme song on the piano! You don't even have to worry about the subject matter, just good, clean fun! I get SO tired of screening today's cartoons for language, etc., that it's just nice to be able to turn this dvd on and not worry. By the way, does ANYONE know what the new release in January, 2009 is going to contain? Amazon has it now for $51.99 and it's supposedly a 9-disc set. Wonder what it is?! Anyway, highly, highly, highly recommend this set, you definite won't be disapoointed. That is unless the added laugh tracks bother you. We noticed them and thought they were weird, but other than that, nothing's changed!
