Pink Panther Show, The - Think Pink! This July MGM brings 124 Panther Cartoons to DVD!

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 (1964: Animated Short Subject) 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!

July 26th is the street date for this timelessly hip, ferociously funny box set. For $69.96 you get not onlyl five DVDs chock-full of the hilarious cartoons, but these special features as well:

"Behind the Feline: The Cartoon Phenomenon" Documentary
"Pink Patter With Art Leonardi: The Story Behind the Animation" Featurette
"Remembering Friz: A Tribute to Friz Freleng" Featurette
"Think Pink: How to Draw the Pink Panther" Featurette
Page to Screen: The Making of Two Cartoons
Animated Main Title Sequences From Five of the Feature Films

If The Pink Panther Show - Classic Cartoon Collection 5-Pack Box Set's $69.96 price tag is too much for you, then you can ease into the pink instead with 3 single-disc releases that street the same date. The Pink Panther Show - Classic Cartoon Collection Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3 each contain 27 shorts for $14.95 SRP per sold-separately disc. The first volume contains the Oscar-winning Pink Phink short, so if you had to start with one of these, then that would be the one!

Stay tuned, and we'll have cover art for these once MGM makes it available.

I agree! I hope they'll release complete shows in the original broadcast order as they originally aired on NBC. Just like the "Rocky & Bullwinkle" DVD's (1st and 2nd seasons) all episodes aired in the original broadcast order and that's the way it should be.

I loved the "Ant and the Aardvark," too!

I did a search and found there have been only 17 cartoon shorts of "The Ant and the Aardvark" were produced DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (DFE).

The complete list:

1969

The Ant and the Aardvark (Friz Freleng)
Hasty But Tasty (Gerry Chiniquy)
The Ant From Uncle (George Gordon)
I've Got Ants in My Plans (Gerry Chiniquy)
Technology, Phooey (Gerry Chiniquy)
Never Bug an Ant (Gerry Chiniquy)
Dune Bug (Art Davis)
Isle of Caprice (Gerry Chiniquy)

1970

Scratch a Tiger (Hawley Pratt)
Odd Ant Out (Gerry Chiniquy)
Ants in the Pantry (Hawley Pratt)
Science Friction (Gerry Chiniquy)
Mumbo Jumbo (Art Davis)
The Froze Nose Knows (Gerry Chiniquy)
Don't Hustle an Ant with Muscle (Art Davis)

1971

Rough Brunch (Art Davis)
From Bed to Worse (Art Davis)
