Volume 1 captures this lightning-in-a-bottle era, collecting the first 18 theatrical shorts from 1964 to 1966. This isn't the watered-down, Saturday-morning version many of us remember from the 80s; this is the original theatrical Pink Panther, uncut and unapologetically clever. Blake Edwards directed The Pink Panther
is a perfect "rainy day" purchase. It is safe for kids (the slapstick is classic and bloodless), but the jazz score and minimalist animation will appeal more to adults who appreciate art history.
In 1963, Blake Edwards directed The Pink Panther , a live-action comedy starring Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. The film’s opening credits, designed by animators Friz Freleng (of Looney Tunes fame) and David DePatie, featured a sophisticated, faceless pink cat animated over Mancini’s now-immortal theme song. The design was a joke: a "panther" that was the color of a "pink" error in the diamond trade.
