The Dogfather
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dogfather (A DePatie-Freleng Production, in association with Mirisch Company) was created by Hawley Pratt and Friz Freleng at DePatie-Freleng Enterprises. The series was released through theaters by United Artists and ran from 1974 to 1976. 17 shorts were produced.
The series was basically a parody of the movie The Godfather but with canines as part of the Italian organized crime syndicate.
Directors are Hawley Pratt, Gerry Chiniquy, and Arthur Leonardi.
19 years later in 1993 a new version of the cartoon produced by MGM animation for the 1993 syndicated Pink Panther TV show aired with Joe Pesci as the voice of the title role.
In 'The Pink Panther's Passport to Peril', the name of the main villian is the Dogfather.
