  Almost worthless (almost) November 20, 2008 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
The original movies have all been available before. One of them is the rancid 1968 film without Peter Sellers. Two of them are poorly assembled clipfests from the other movies. Another is a rotten 1993 spinoff. Yet another is the atrocious Steve Martin remake.
And then the set is filled out with tons of cartoons. The original theatrical stuff has some flair, but the TV cartoons are big stink bombs.
And of course (while MGM couldn't help it because of rights issues) Return of the Pink Panther isn't here at all.
Feel like shelling out a bunch of money for this yet?
The only thing of interest at all in this set is the original movie with "over 60 minutes of never-before-seen footage." 60 minutes of Peter Sellers outtakes? That's worth lining up for! Hopefully it will be available on its own at some point.

Why in world call this ultimate? The cartoon series is available seperatly while the curse of the pink panther without sellers , The son of the pink panther& and the 2006 sham with steve martian which nobody liked I don't get this ? MGM search for more money The only interesting thing in this set is 60 minutes extra footage, of the pink panther? I guess now that Blake Edwards is dead. MGM can dig up purposly lost footage and nobody can object.?
I will not buy this set, and have feeling alot people wont either. MGM is double dipping theres nothing wrong with 2004 collection I know the return of pink panther is not available in either set . it goes to show you some companies will milk it, until the cow is long dead.
  Why Return of the Pink Panther isn't in this set September 3, 2008 13 out of 16 found this review helpful
As noted in the specs, this film contains all but one of the films (more on that in a minute), and nine discs of cartoons, including the second volume of Inspector cartoons and the Roland and Ratfink cartoons. The ninth cartoon disc will presumably be a port of the fifth disc of the Classic Cartoon Collection. It looks to be a definite must-have set.
But Return of the Pink Panther is not included, and never will be, for a very good reason. MGM does not own the home video rights to it; Universal does. So before you go writing a negative review of this set because it doesn't include Return of the Pink Panther, try and get a better grasp of copyright in movies; specifically, who owns and releases what. Universal owns the home video rights because United Artists outsourced the film to an independent company. UA owns the theatrical rights, but not the home video rights.
Besides, would it really hurt that much to spend 10 extra dollars to have the DVD of Return with this collection? It may not be a complete set, but copyrights are sometimes strange like that.
So don't go around bashing MGM for not making this a complete set. It's as complete as they can make it, considering they don't own one of the films in the series.

Sounds great, but... According to the specs, still no "Return Of The Pink Panther".

This special collector's edition can only be found in the box set and contains over 60 minutes of never-before-seen footage. The 2006 version of The Pink Panther starring Golden Globe nominee** Steve Martin (Father of the Bride) and directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) is also included in the set.
With over 190 cartoons, everyone's favorite feline claws his way out of trouble again and again. The nine cartoon collections include the brilliant, Oscar-winning* The Pink Phink as well as the only two cartoons (Sink Pink, Pink Ice) in which the mischievous cool cat speaks. Pink Panther Ultimate Collection will be available for the suggested retail price of $199.98 U.S. / $349.98 Canada.
