Freleng made a series of Pink Panther shorts, and in 1969 successfully transitioned the character to television.

Rxpress - Robert McKimson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He shared this position with Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones until the closing of the Warner Bros. cartoon studio in 1963. But if McKimson's cartoons did not reach the intellectual heights of Jones or enjoy the musical freedom of Freleng, he is seen by animation scholars as being the most artistically talented of the Termite Terrace cartoon directors. Critics describe his style as somewhat prosaic, literal, and not as innovative, clever or impeccably crafted as the films of Jones or Freleng. www.rxpresspharmacy.com /wiki/index/Bob_McKimson   (660 words)

Coyote and Road Runner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first cartoon of the DePatie-Freleng Road Runner series, The Wild Chase, was directed by Friz Freleng in 1965, and notably starred Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester the Cat alongside Wile E. and Road Runner.
