Pink Panther and Pals is a cartoon created by MGM Animation in an attempt to revive the original Pink Panther. The series was not renewed for a second season, due to lower ratings and the negative reception for its homage to the original shorts, rather than attempting to create something new with the characters, including imperfect voice impressions. The series developed 52 Pink Panther shorts and 26 Ant and the Aardvark shorts, totaling 78 cartoons. As of 2017, the show now airs on KidsClick and ended.

- The series' purpose was to revive the Pink Panther, with a planned 100 episodes (200 Pink Panther shorts and 100 Ant and the Aardvark shorts), though it failed to do so due to funding troubles.
