Kino Lorber have announced and detailed The Pink Panther Cartoon Collection: Volume 4. The release will be available for purchase on January 15.

Synopsis: This collection includes 22-cartoon in chronological order from 1971 to 1975.

Having established himself as a bone fide TV star in 1969-70, the Pink Panther returns to the fine art of making theatrical shorts in 1971. Helping the Panther recapture his silver-screen luster are established directors Hawley Pratt (A Fly in the Pink), Gerry Chiniquy (Salmon Pink, Pink Aye), and Art Davis (Pink Tuba-dore). Joining their ranks are veteran Warners helmer Robert McKimson (Pink Da Vinci) and artful behind-the-scenes DePatie-Freleng multi-tasker Art Leonardi (Pink Plasma, Pink Campaign). Still in touch with the Temper of the Times, the Panther amusingly tackles a few then-trending 1970s topics such as environmentalism and animal-rights advocacy.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
  • 22 shorts in chronological order (63-84) - all with original audio (no laugh tracks)
  • Audio commentaries for 12 selected shorts, by author Mark Arnold, historian Jerry Beck, filmmaker Greg Ford and cartoon writer William Hohauser
  • Pink Patter with Art Leonardi (14:53)
  • Reversible Blu-ray Art
