The Pink Panther (also known as The New Pink Panther Show) is an American animated television series based on the original theatrical cartoons of the same name produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation in association with Mirisch-Geoffrey-DePatie-Freleng and MGM Television, and distributed through Claster Television (by TV distribution) and Camelot Entertainment Sales (by barter services).
The series centers on the Pink Panther and his co-stars from the original cartoon shorts in a series of brand-new stories. Unlike other animated series in the franchise, this is the only series where he and the Little Man speak numerous lines; prior to this series, the Panther had only briefly spoken in two cartoons in the 1960s.
The Pink Panther was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in 1994 for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition. The series also served as the basis for two educational adventure computer games: The Pink Panther: Passport to Peril, and The Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink.
