I saw it in a magazine yesterday- about $70. But seeing it on ebay for $50- prerelease. It comes out the 31st!
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!

just loved the cartoons , ant and ardvark were good too !
true story - way back then my dad worked at a Monkey Wards automotive / catalog store ( he was automotive ) when it came on all the employees would watch it on the display set.
one Saturday a lady came in needing something and my dad told her " sorry , It'll have to wait tll the Pink Panther's over " she smiled ,said " OK " and sat down and watched it with them!
He was created to entertain the deaf. That is why he never talked! I know later he did, but not the originals. I have a bunch of pink panther shirts, panties, etc,
