Animated News Forum member ‘GeorgeC’ points out that new MGM owners Sony have delayed the release of the Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection DVD boxed set, which was announced last week. It is not clear as to whether the new issues of the live-action feature films would also be held back. The move could well have a lot to do with the fact that Sony have just made it clear that the new theatrical Steve Martin remake, originally sheduled to open August 5, has been moved to a February 2006 date. Though they stress it is not because the film has been testing poorly, the new Pink Panther has not exactly been getting enthusiastic press.
