Think Pink! The Depatie-Freleng Story In 1963, Warner Bros. closed down their long-running cartoon facility that had produced such memorable merrymakers as the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. Director/producer Friz Freleng and executive David H. DePatie faced unwanted early retirement. A generous parting gesture from a Warner executive allowed Freleng and DePatie to lease the former Warner cartoons studio on California Street in Burbank, complete with equipment and supplies, for a few dollars each year. They teamed up to create animated cartoons for advertising, but not everything behind their enterprise was enchanting. They struggled to keep their small animation studio running against odds and obstacles such as rising costs, heavy competition, outsourcing of labor to other countries, strikes, death, changing directions, and buyouts. They never anticipated how they would soon style a series of cartoon characters that would paint memorable colors over movie animation history. When director Blake Edwards produced The Pink Panther starring David Niven, Peter Sellers, Robert Wagner, Capucine, and Claudia Cardinale, he envisioned a cartoon character of the same name to illustrate the opening credits sequence. Edwards hired Freleng and DePatie, together with artists at their DePatie-Freleng Enterprises studio, to design the animated sequence. The crafty magenta furry feline minced his way into moviegoer’s hearts. The inspiration behind the ink was the people that worked at the DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (DFE) animation studio. Their hilarious cartoons caused a generation of moviegoers to rock theaters with laughter. Author Mark Arnold returns you to the nostalgic memories of the exhilarating Pink Panther series and other cartoons DFE created. Discover the craftsmen behind the cartoons in an exciting exploration of the Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau, Ant and the Aardvark, Cat in the Hat, The Grinch, The Lorax, Doctor Dolittle, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Mr. Magoo, The Fantastic Four, Planet of the Apes, Doctor Snuggles, Baggy Pants, The Nitwits, The Barkleys, The Houndcats, The Grump, The Super Six, Super President, Spy Shadow, Hoot Kloot, Blue Racer, Crazylegs Crane, Misterjaw, Tijuana Toads, The Dogfather, The Oddball Couple, Charlie the tuna, David DePatie, Friz Freleng, Blake Edwards, Peter Sellers, and various animators.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A superb book about a classic animation studio By Robert A long overdue tribute to the animation studio founded by executive David DePatie and animation director Friz Freleng. Arnold's work is thorough and well written with multitudes of interviews, artwork, merchandise and everything else related to the studio best known for the Pink Panther--but over the decades they also did many memorable cartoons for theaters and TV (including commercials and specials). They did works inspired by Planet of the Apes, Jaws, All in the Family and the Odd Couple and worked with Bing Crosby, Dr. Seuss, and Flip Wilson. Artist Art Leonardi, music composer Doug Goodwin and Depatie and Freleng themselves offer stories. This is as cool as the Panther himself and readers will find many other great cartoons highlighted here!
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Think Pink! An insightful look at the creators of the Pink Panther, Classic Saturday Mornings, and Timeless Specials By Dunestar If you were a child of the Sixties or Seventies, you probably heard about The Pink Panther, but not so much about the creators behind it. Whenever you think of Saturday Morning, you probably think of Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, Filmation, Ruby-Spears and Rankin-Bass. But there was also a major contributor to Saturday Mornings which first began their start with theatrical shorts about a rose-coloured feline.Think Pink! The Story of DePatie-Freleng is an intensive look on how David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng established their animation studio and began their success with the Pink Panther as well as other staples within animated television. Mark Arnold gives us a wonderful foray into the people and creators of such works as The Pink Panther, The Houndcats, The Barkleys, Doctor Doolittle, Here Comes The Grump, Timer Specials, The Cat in the Hat and others.As I enjoy reading this book I learned about the successes of DFE and the not so-successful moments such as Super President and Spy Shadow.Currently I'm at the chapter over the most sought after DePatie-Freleng production, Luvcast USA.The funny thing about this show--which was a part of the Saturday Superstar Movie on ABC--was I do recall Ranton Rave who kept setting us up for 'Love Potion No. 9,' and the one episode which stuck out in my memory was the one called, "Moonlight Does The Strangest Thing to Me."Basically it was about two seemingly average boy and girl going out on a date, where everything goes wrong, until the moon comes out and reveals he's a vampire and she's a werewolf (Note: if I'm incorrect, remember I'm going by my child memory, I was about five when it aired). And the hilarious moment was when they were playing the song, the monsters go to the Moon Drive-In Restaurant, and everyone quickly departing and the restaurant closing.But one of the more fascinating articles within the book itself was "A Pink Christmas." Mainly because it was the first time the Pink Panther didn't resort to the typical antics you saw in his theatrical shorts. And it was the first Pink Panther animated tale to be adapted into his comic book form.Basically I recall what made this exciting back then was, this was during the time, 1978, this was before VHS became commonplace, and there was no such thing as DVDs or streaming videos (except possibly for the Jetsons). So if you missed a special back then, you were pretty much SOL (Strictly Out of Luck) and had to wait an entire year to see it again (or by some fortunate miracle, the networks would rerun it for an animated block). So when Gold Key (who had been publishing the Pink Panther comics since 1971) brought out this adaptation, it was real treat because if you missed the animated version, you still had a hard copy to go on.Back then, however, as with most adaptations, there were two subtle differences between the comic and the animated special. (1) As most Pink Panther fans know, though he never talked in the classic cartoons (except for two shorts), as with Tom & Jerry and the Road Runner, the comic version Pink Panther could speak; and (2) Whereas the animated special is based on an O. Henry tale, thus the setting is at the turn of the century, the comic version somehow mysteriously puts the story into the modern times. Though it really never hurt the story itself, because hey, the Pink Panther was just as cool and popular in the comics as his animated shorts, back then it sort of felt a little out-of-place.[Sidenote: Harvey Comics did reprint 'A Pink Christmas,' when they obtained the rights to re-publish the comics during the 90s. So if you have difficulty finding the original print, you can always search there.]Overall, Mark Arnold does an excellent and informative job with the book itself because as I'm reading it, not only do you learn more about the people behind DFE Studios and the characters, but you get to learn about how the classic shows came about and get an insightful look on why we going back to the days of Saturday Morning with a Pink Panther and friends.I definitely recommend picking up Think Pink! The Story of DePatie-Freleng, since I feel it's truly an invaluable component to any animation collector's library.Excellent job on the book, Mark!

The author Mark Arnold has accomplished a wonderful and amazing work of research with it! To put it bluntly, it is just mind boggling to think of the amount of hours he must've spent reading and classifying material for the book! But the end result is truly worth it! Everything, and I do mean everything you wanted to know about the Pink Panther and the DePatie-Freleng studio, is right here at your fingertips. It is nothing short of incredible! Mr. Arnold deserves all kinds of credit for doing the footwork and research for all of us Pink Panther and Depatie-Freleng enthusiasts! It is a reference book to be cherished and consulted time and time again! The book is chockfull of tidbits and never before revealed pieces of information that every fan will undoubtedly relish for many years to come. If you like The Pink Panther, the Inspector, the Ant and the Aardvark, and all the other DePatie-Freleng cartoons, then this book is a must. If you just simply love animation, more so. The book covers everything from comic books, to theatrical cartoons, feature films, TV specials, merchandising, unrealized projects and inside stories on the people who created the cartoons. Lots of pictures illustrate the extensive oeuvre, and a full filmography and bibliography complete this lavish edition. You'll be glad you got it! Think Pink: The Story of DePatie-Freleng
