Over 40 years ago, a new kind of sleek and sophisticated cartoon character strolled across the big screen to a slinky jazz beat. The Pink Panther, the coolest cartoon character ever created, had arrived! Before long, the Oscar-winning star had his own worldwide television show, supported by a cast of memorable characters, including the Little Man, the Inspector and Ant and Aardvark. Decade by decade, this definitive guide covers every sleek and slinky move the Pink Panther has ever made - his evolving style, ever-popular cartoons, and blockbuster movies - right up to his suave, sophisticated and spectacular return in the 21st century. It also contains stills and details of the hilarious film series the Pink Panther has stylishly introduced, timeless comedy classics featuring everyone's favourite French detective, the bumbling Inspector Clouseau.
