The Bumbling Adventures Continue in a 9-Disc Set Of The Original Cartoon Series on DVD January 27thFrom MGM Home Entertainment

Los Angeles, CA – A madcap frolic of crime and fun, the Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection slinks on to DVD January 27th from MGM Home Entertainment. MGMs third largest and broadest appealing film franchise is showcased in this must-have multi-disc set, which contains three cartoon collections not available individually of the original classic cartoon, “The Pink Panther.” Nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award® for Outstanding Entertainment in a Childrens Series (1975), The Pink Panther television series captured the hearts of audiences during its 1969 to 1979 run. The groundbreaking cartoons boasted a creative staff and crew of all-star artists who helped define the stylized “cool” of 60s and 70s animation, including directors Friz Freleng (co-creator of the animated Pink Panther), Gerry Chiniquy (Transformers), Robert McKimson (Looney Tunes) and George Singer (The Bullwinkle Show), with scripts by John W. Dunn (“Daffy Ducks Quackbusters”), among others. The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection includes the brilliant, Academy Award®-winning “The Pink Phink”* as well as the only two cartoons, “Sink Pink” and “Pink Ice,” in which the mischievous feline speaks. In addition to the collection, six volumes of the classic cartoons will also be available individually and will include an e-Movie Cashâ„¢ certificate for the upcoming theatrical release of Pink Panther 2. Each volume will have a suggested retail price of $14.98 U.S./$15.98 Canada. The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection is available for the suggested retail price of $69.98 U.S./$99.98 Canada. Prebook is December 31, 2008.
