The Pink Panther

Colorful and light on its feet, The Pink Panther returns for more lighthearted adventures aimed at kids. In this 1993 animated series the famous pink cat teams up with new friends and a few familiar faces from the classic shorts, all drawn into short, breezy stories built around mischief rather than danger.

Each episode invites viewers to watch a stylish prankster improvise his way through playful challenges, often turning a small misstep into a harmless triumph. The tone stays sunny and reassuring, inviting laughter without scary stakes.

Released in 1993 as a television series, The Pink Panther leans on the franchise created by Blake Edwards with animation by DePatie Freleng.

As part of the broader Pink Panther franchise the 1993 show taps into a legacy of stylish humor and expressive animation that left its stamp on late 20th century cartoon comedy.
