'Pink Panther and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection: The Inspector':

Hailed as some of the most original cartoons produced in their era, The Pink Panther and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection Volume Six: The Inspector features 17 episodes from the first seasons, from 1965 – 1967. Filled with intelligent dialogue, complex plotlines and avante-garde villains, the cartoons always sustained a special chemistry between the two main characters, both voiced by Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Pat Harrington Jr. (One Day at a Time).

With a nose for clues, an eye for intrigue and a mind like a steel trap that's jammed shut, The Inspector sets out to solve Paris' most puzzling crime mysteries.

History:

Originally released as a series of theatrical cartoons, the silly Inspector Clouseau and his trusty assistant Sergeant Duex-Deux gained millions of fans with their constant fumbling while solving crime after crime.

Creative Team:

From a creative staff that helped define the stylized "cool" of '60s and '70s animation, The Inspector was produced by David DePatie and features direction by Fritz Freleng (Return to the Planet of the Apes), Gerry Chiniquy (Transformers), Robert McKimson (Looney Tunes) and George Singer (The Bullwinkle Show), with scripts by John W. Dunn (Daffy Duck's Quackbusters) and others.
