Turner and MGM announced today that they are producing a new 26 episode half-hour Pink Panther animated series to air on Cartoon Network channels worldwide in Fall 2009.
The show is being produced jointly by MGM and Rubicon. Production of the series is currently taking place in both Los Angeles and Amman, Jordan.
“Pink Panther & Pals” is a 26 episode animated TV series featuring the Pink Panther as a teenager who, along with his friends, gets into all sorts of capers and escapades.
Favorite characters from the original series such as Ant and Aardvark and new characters Hoarse and Dog join the Pink Panther in his adventures. In every episode the Pink Panther will interact with his arch-nemesis Big Nose — who always tries to spoil the party.
The musical score and comedy themes will be reprised from the original Pink Panther theatrical shorts and TV series and will be familiar and recognizable to Pink Panther fans.
MGM plans to support the new “Pink Panther & Pals” show with a dedicated licensing and merchandising initiative targeting licensed apparel, stationery and back to school toys, publishing and interactive games.
