The Pink Panther (1993 TV series)

"The Pink Panther" is a 1993 animated television series. A co-production of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, Mirisch-Geoffrey DePatie-Freleng and United Artists. The show will premiere on Boomerang on November 10, 2008.

Plot

This version stars the legendary hip feline in new adventures, but this time he talks (with the voice of Matt Frewer). Alongside the panther are his longtime friends and co-stars from other DFE shorts, "The Inspector", "The Ant and the Aardvark" and "The Dogfather" (The Dogfather and his cronies were redesigned for this series), as well as "The Little Man" who was a co-star in the original theatrical shorts alongside the cool cat. Also, some new characters were created for the show, including a mask-wearing tribal witch doctor named Voodoo Man, a muscular guy named Manly Man, Thelma, and Mrs. Chubalingo and her pet parrot Jules.

The show was nominated for a daytime Emmy award in 1994 for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition. [imdb title|0108895]
