Cartoon Network will kick off a brand new Pink Panther series next Fall.  Pink Panther & Pals will debut 26 new episodes of the half-hour animated series, the latest addition to a franchise that has spanned decades.  The show features the Pink Panther as a rambunctious teenager who, along with his friends, gets into all sorts of mischievous capers and hilarious escapades.  Favorite characters from the original series such as Ant and Aardvark and new characters Horse and Dog join the Pink Panther in his daily adventures.

For super-dog Bolt, every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue – at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet – a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions – a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens and TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino – Bolt discovers he doesn’t need superpowers to be a hero.
