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! *1964: Animated Short Subject, The Pink Phink

The Pink Panther Collection is scheduled for release on 07/26/2005, with a retail tag of $69.96.
