The classic-2D-characters-to-CGI revolution continues, and is set to be tainted pink, when Blake Edwards’ famous feline the Pink Panther takes on a CGI look for the opening title sequence of Steve Martin’s Inspector Clouseau feature The Mask Of The Pink Panther (or Birth Of…, depending on which day of the week it is). The Animated World Network confirms that “London-based Nexus Producbtions (which produced the highly touted Catch Me If You Can main titles) will be doing the animation honors [after] David DePatie, co-creator and co-copyright owner of the animated Pink Panther character, expressed concern about early CGI tests, suggesting that they made the Panther ‘look too round and kind of chubby'”. Hopefully that problem will have been fixed by the time of the film’s summer 2005 release.
