Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In the early 1960s the celebrated producer/animator team of David DePatie and Friz Freleng was commissioned to create an animated sequence for the 1964 film The Pink Panther, directed by Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. DePatie-Freleng brought this Pink Panther to life by creating one suave, cool animated cat that earned DePatie-Freleng their 1964 Oscar for Best Animated Short, The Pink Phink. The character grew so popular that it soon spun off into its own series of theatrical shorts attached to the Pink Panther films, then expanded into a cartoon series and television specials.
This summer The Pink Panther returns to the screen with a new film, The Pink Panther, starring Steve Martin. In conjunction with MGM’s film and on the heels of the Pink Panther’s 40th Anniversary. Hope and Sybil Freleng, daughters of Friz Freleng, pay tribute to their father by opening his archives and exploring the history of everybody’s favorite pink cartoon character. Meet the Pink Panther is a delightful trove of Panther imagery, including never-before-seen art and witty and simple text about the Pink Panther.
Designed with a retro look that is reminiscent of the Pink Panther from his premier in the 60s, Meet the Pink Panther is a sophisticated package that will appeal to parents who remember him with humor from their childhood and to children who can’t help but be impressed by the consummate character of cool.

About the Author

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book for kids, January 17, 2006
By David Mackey (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a picture book for children, with a cute story about the origin of the Pink Panther wrapped around his legendary appearance inside a rare gem and its pursuit by Inspector Clouseau. The authors, Hope Freleng Shaw and Sybil Freleng Bergman, are the daughters of the creator of the animated Panther, the late Friz Freleng. They have drawn on many of the stories concocted by their Dad as plot elements. And as a bonus, the book is very nicely illustrated by one of Freleng's most valued animators, Art Leonardi. Animation fans may be a little disappointed in the lack of historical content (that's found in Jerry Beck's concurrent book instead), but kids looking for a nice picture book about the animated Panther will love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Story of a panther, January 21, 2006
By Sergio Fantin (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This particular title does not provide background information of our beloved Pink Friend.
Don't be fooled, it is a great picture book suitable for parents that would like to introduce this quite old fellow to their children, since the Pink Panther show is almost eternal and it is being aired since the seventies.
If you are looking for information or an investigation source, this is not the book for you. But if you enjoy a fully drawn story with cute and original art, consider this purchase as your next.
