Each time the painter attempts to paint something blue, the panther thwartshim in a new way. At the end, the painter inadvertently turns the house and everything around it pink and the panthermoves in. But just before he moves in, he paints the white man completely pink.

Academy AwardThe Pink Phink was the first Pink Panther animated short produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and by winningthe 1964 Academy Award for Animated Short Film, it marked the first time that a studio won an Academy Awardwith its very first animated short.[2]

Popular culture• An episode of the animated series Dexter's Laboratory entitled "A Silent Cartoon" is a homage to this short; the

short features Dexter (filling the role of the painter) trying to construct a blue laboratory, while an all-pink versionof his sister Dee Dee finds clever ways to turn the blue lab into a completely pink lab.

• In the 2009 series Pink Panther and Pals, a scene from A Pinker Tomorrow in which The Pink Panther tricks TheLittle Man (Big Nose) to cover the outside of the house in paint, is homage to the original short.

The AA rep comes over (still in his pajamas), smells the alcohol on the homeowner'sbreath, and sternly proceeds to remove every bottle of booze in the house, tossing them out into the trash can at thecurbside. The two guys are then about to drink a toast to sobriety (via a glass of milk) when the Pink Panther strollsthrough the house, looking for the bed.

Page 28: The Pink Panther Cartoons

Pink Ice 23

NotabilityPink Ice represents one of only two shorts in which the feline is given dialogue.[1][2][3][4] Whereas the panther had asingle line of dialogue in Sink Pink, he is given extensive dialogue in Pink Ice. Friz Freleng soon realized that thefeline was more appealing as a sophisticated mute, and discontinued the talking panther for the remainder of theseries because it is more expensive to translate the English language into different languages.[1][2]

The voice was supplied by impressionist Rich Little impersonating English actor David Niven, complete with Britishaccent. Niven's sophisticated vocal style was chosen for the Pink Panther, as he portrayed diamond thief Sir CharlesLytton (aka, the Phantom) in the original Pink Panther film with Peter Sellers.[1][2][5]

The Pink Panther speaks these lines:•• "Gophers?"•• "By any chance, have you seen any gophers with diamonds in?"•• "They just could be trying to hide something."•• "Er...this isn't quite cricket."•• "Can you imagine those fellows leaving things like this lying around?"•• "My what a beauty!"•• "It's a good thing I carry a small shovel with me just for these sort of emergencies."•• "They say a rolling stone gathers no moss. And we wouldn't want a beautiful stone like this to gather moss, would

we?"

Pink Punch is the 15th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were producedbetween 1964 and 1980.

PlotThe Pink Panther appears on a stage, advertising his "Pink Punch" drink via a series of placards with, of course, pinklettering. On the placard with the product name, the dot above the "i" in "Pink" is a six-pointed asterisk. However,the moment he displays it, the asterisk turns green and the audience begins laughing. The Panther tries variousstratagems (some involving the drink) to change the asterisk back to pink, but it stubbornly changes back to green,turns the placard green, then jumps off the placard and begins taunting him, squirting green ink all over him. Whenhe tries to destroy it, he is confronted with an extremely large, threatening green five-pointed asterisk, evidently thesmall one's parent or guardian.This surreal situation continues in the Panther's laboratory where he is mixing up more Pink Punch. The greenasterisk appears with a beach umbrella and towel, and dives into the basin, turning the punch green. The Pantherpulls the plug to send the asterisk down the drain, but the large asterisk appears again and forces him to fish the smallasterisk out with a plunger. When the Panther flies his small prop plane trailing an advertising banner, the asteriskshows up in midair and falls in love with the airplane's (pink) propellor, proposing (in a series of symbolic messages)that they have a family (of green asterisks), and the propellor pops off the airplane and joins the asterisk, leaving thehapless Panther plummeting to the ground.Covered in bandages, the Panther limps back to the stage area and grimly puts up more placards advertising "Drink Green Punch", this time in all-green lettering with the asterisk proudly dotting the "i" of "Drink". Drinking the punch

turns the Panther green. As he turns away, the asterisk turns itself pink.

Notes• Pink Punch is a reversal of sorts of the Panther's antics seen in various cartoons such as The Pink Phink and The

Pink Blueprint, where the Panther constantly replaces another color (usually blue) with Pink, driving the one whohas to continually replace it to wits end. Here, the Panther is on the receiving end.[1]

• The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV.When MGM released all 124 Pink Panther cartoons on DVD in 2006, the theatrical versions were, for the mostpart, utilized. However, several television prints made their way onto the DVD set, Pink Punch being one of them.As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.[2]

Inconclusion, Pink gets the house he wants, but it is really the house the contractor was going to build in disguise.[1]

Notes• The concept of substituting a pink version of something for the original color was borrowed from The Pink Phink.

Both The Pink Blueprint and The Pink Phink were nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short Film,with the latter winning.[1]

• Footage from The Pink Blueprint would be reused as a flashback in the made-for-television entry Pinkologist.[1]

• The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV.When MGM released all 124 Pink Panther cartoons on DVD in 2006, the theatrical versions were, for the mostpart, utilized.

Pink, Plunk, Plink is the 19th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons wereproduced between 1964 and 1980.

PlotThe Pink Panther is a small-time violinist who desperately tries to play with the orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl.His ultimate goal is to have the group perform his own theme music in place of Ludwig van Beethoven's FifthSymphony. After quietly playing his theme on his violin during the symphony, the angered conductor comes over tothe group of violinists to inspect their violin bows. The Panther's bow manages to fire a blast of smoke like a guninto the conductor's face, prompting the ejection of the pink feline a second time.The sly panther manages to sneak back into the Hollywood Bowl, and starts utilizing both a tuba and a trumpet toblast his theme song once again. The conductor becomes even more infuriated, and tries a third time to remove thePanther from the proceedings. Pinky disguises himself against the fancy pedestal of a harp, making himself invisibleto the enraged conductor. Thinking he has succeeded in ridding the music hall of the panther, the conductor returnsto his podium, unaware that the Panther has substituted his baton with a small rocket. The rocket then shoots into theair and takes the conductor up with it, and then the rocket explodes and drops the conductor far away, allowing thePink Panther to conduct the orchestra in a rousing rendition of his Pink Panther theme. In the end, Henry Mancinimakes a brief cameo, applauding the panther's performance.[1]

Page 46: The Pink Panther Cartoons

Pink, Plunk, Plink 41

Notes• Composer Henry Mancini, best known for composing the Pink Panther theme song, makes an uncredited

appearance at the end of the film. Fittingly, he portrays himself, as the sole attendee in the audience, applaudingfor the Panther's rendition of his famed theme song.[2]

• This was also the first Pink Panther short that credits Walter Greene for the music. Greene ushered in the era ofprerecorded musical scores for the series, which was a considerable savings for the studio. Previously, each entryhad its own unique score composed by William Lava, created to match the action of the scene. Greene composedseveral compositions for the Pink Panther shorts, many which featured variations on Henry Mancini's classictheme song. These scores would be utilized regularly until a new set of tunes were written by Steve DePatie forthe made-for-television entries starting in 1978.[2]

• The scene where a coughing audience member is shot by the conductor is a gag reused by Friz Freleng from hisearlier cartoon, Rhapsody Rabbit.[2]

photographer, who sees him in a tree. shoots a gun in the hedgehog cave, where the panther was seen in the photo,and ran out, possibly because he saw the photographer with the gun while in the cave.

The ghost returns to the room and heads for thebathroom where Pink takes a shower and just as he is about to attack him, Pink grabs the specter for a towel andthrows him to the tub.When Pink Panther gets ready for bed, a skeleton crawls into the bed unnoticed and the two blow the candlessimultaneously. Suddenly, a dreadful scream and fighting knocks along with bone shatterings are heard. Pinkunderstands that he place is haunted.

Pinto Pink is the 32nd cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were producedbetween 1964 and 1980.

PlotThe Pink Panther is stuck in the middle of the hot desert and seems to be trying to head to Anaheim, suitcase in hand.Upon seeing the roadsign showing that Anaheim is 1250 miles away, he tries to hitch a ride, but the cars keep goingby, then he tries to flag down a car by pulling up his pink "sock" showing his pink-and-white-striped leg, but the carruns over it, causing him to yell in pain.Across the road, a dumb looking white horse starts wildly laughing at him showing his horse teeth, his front legsperched on the fence. Suddenly the pink panther has an idea, he can ride the horse to Anaheim (shown in a thoughtbubble). Crossing over to the horse's field, he tries to pet the horse, but the horse steps on his foot, as he tries to pullhis foot away from the horse, he pulls his foot out of his pink sock (showing again his pink and white striped leg andfoot) and yells in pain, for this he kicks the horse's rear. The horse does not seem impressed and promptly kicks thepink panther backwards (while not moving the rest of his body) sending the pink panther flying into the side of awooden barn, rotating a few times on a wooden plank. This again causes the horse to laugh madly.Pink has the idea of getting onto the horse using a ladder, he leans the ladder up against the horses rear and starts toclimb. The horse appears annoyed and promptly kicks the ladder up into the air. Amazingly, Pink only realises thishas happened when he approaches the top of the ladder and sees to his horror that he is about 1000 ft above ground.We see a birds eye view of the horse in his field by the barn getting smaller as the ladder gets higher. Pink rushes to

climb down the ladder as it starts to fall again. Amazingly the ladder sticks in the ground vertically as it hits groundlevel, and the panther simply steps off and walks away.Pink then emerges from the barn carrying a saddle which he attempts to put on the horse who has an evil grin on hisface. As Pink tries to lift the saddle onto the horse, the horse takes a few steps away. Pink sides up to him and triesagain at which point the horse then tears off to the top of a hill - we see him as a silhouette on top of the hill and hearhim with his manic horse-type-laugh.We next see the horse eating from a trough stood under a tree. Pink is in the tree and lowers the saddle onto thehorse, he then drops himself into the saddle. For a moment, the horse looks like he wonders what on earth is goingon, then he turns and sees the panther and his facial expression changes from one of confusion to one of anger. Pinkkicks his legs as if to tell the horse to giddy up, the horse suddenly flies into a spin fight with Pink and emerges withthe panther on all fours, saddle on his back, with the horse sat in the saddle. Pink crouches there in disbelief as thehorse lets out another of his manic horse laughs.Pink attempts to get on the horse, but fails. He puts roller skates on the horse, and gets on, but the horse roars downthe hill, fast, and the horse and the Pink Panther end up landing on a train track, and the train chases them, in the end,Pink ends up crashing into a "STOP" sign sending him flying into the Anaheim sign. Shortly after, we see Pinkcovered in bandages, the Anaheim sign "repaired" with rope, and again he is trying to hitch a ride. A van comeszooming past Pink, not stopping to offer him a ride, with the horse in the back laughing in the same hystericalmanner at the poor old panther.

Production notesThe musical score for Extinct Pink is composed of the jazz compositions used in The Ant and the Aardvark series.After the completion of Extinct Pink, production on new Pink Panther shorts went on hiatus for approximately twoyears. When the theatrical Pink Panther shorts found a new home on NBC-TV on Saturday mornings as The PinkPanther Show in 1969, David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng opted to focus on other series for the successful televisionshow. New series like Tijuana Toads, The Ant and the Aardvark and Roland and Rattfink began production at thistime. Extinct Pink was re-released in 1978 with the feature film Revenge of the Pink Panther.The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV in the U.S. When MGM released all 124 Pink Panther cartoons on DVD in 2006, the theatrical versions were, for the most part, utilized. However, several television prints made their way onto the DVD set, Extinct Pink being one of them.

ProductionPink-In was the first "best of" entry in the Pink Panther series. This was done by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (DFE)in an effort to both save the studio money as well as produce enough new entries in time for television broadcast onThe Pink Panther Show.[1] Another benefit of recycling scenes from previous entries was that it would cost DFE halfof what a normal episode costs to produce, but would still allow them to sell syndication rights at full price.[1]

Referenced clipsPink-In recycles clips from the following episodes:• Pink Pajamas (1964)• Pickled Pink (1965)• G.I. Pink (1968)• Pink in the Clink (1968)• The Pink Package Plot (1968)[1]

PlotThe Little Man visits a psychiatrist to discuss his constant struggles with the Pink Panther via flashbacks. Afterrealating the painful stories, the psychiatrist shows him a picture of a human being. Then the human in the pictureturns out to be the Pink Panther in disguise, sending both men flying out the window.

ProductionPinkologist was the second "best of" entry in the Pink Panther series (the first was 1971's Pink-In). This was done byDePatie-Freleng Enterprises (DFE) in an effort to both save the studio money as well as produce enough new entriesin time for television broadcast on The All New Pink Panther Show. Another benefit of recycling scenes fromprevious entries was that it would cost DFE half of what a normal episode costs to produce, but would still allowthem to sell syndication rights at full price.[1]

This practice lead to three future entries to be reissues of theatrical entries in their entirety (Pet Pink Pebbles, ThePink of Bagdad and Yankee Doodle Pink).[1]

The Pink Panther is the main and title character in the opening and closing credit sequences of every film in ThePink Panther series except for A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau. His popularity spawned a series oftheatrical shorts, merchandise, a comic book, and television cartoons. He starred in 124 shorts (either theatrical ortelevised), 10 television shows and three prime time specials. He's also known as Nathu and Pangu in East and SouthAsia and Paulchen Panther (Little Paul the Panther) in Germany.

DePatie-Freleng/United Artists cartoonsThe animated Pink Panther character's initial appearance in the live action film's title sequence, directed by FrizFreleng, was such a success with audiences and United Artists that the studio signed Freleng and his DePatie-FrelengEnterprises studio to a multi-year contract for a series of Pink Panther theatrical cartoon shorts. The first entry in theseries, 1964's The Pink Phink, (which was also his first appearance) featured the Panther harassing his foil, a littlewhite moustached man who is actually a caricature of Friz Freleng (this character is officially known as "The LittleWhite Guy" and/or "The Man" [1]), by constantly trying to paint the little man's blue house pink. The Pink Phink wonthe 1964 Academy Award for Animated Short Film, and subsequent shorts in the series, usually featuring the PinkPanther opposite the little man, were successful releases.In an early series of Pink Panther animated cartoons, the Pink Panther generally remained silent, speaking only intwo theatrical shorts, Sink Pink and Pink Ice. Rich Little provided the Panther's voice in the latter shorts, modelling iton that of David Niven (who had portrayed Clouseau's jewel-thief nemesis in the original live-action film). Yearslater Little would overdub Niven's voice for Trail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther. All of theanimated Pink Panther shorts utilized the distinctive jazzy theme music composed by Henry Mancini for the 1963feature film, with additional scores composed by Walter Greene or William Lava.[2][3][4][5]

NBC added a laugh track to the original cartoons, with Marvin Miller brought on as anoff-camera narrator talking to the Pink Panther during bumper segments featuring the Pink Panther and TheInspector together.Pink Panther shorts made after 1969 were produced for both broadcast and film release, typically appearing ontelevision first, and released to theatres by United Artists. One version of the show was called The Think PinkPanther Show. A number of sister series joined The Pink Panther on movie screens and on the airwaves, amongthem The Ant and the Aardvark, The Tijuana Toads (a.k.a. The Texas Toads), Hoot Kloot, and Misterjaw (a.k.a. Mr.Jaws and Catfish). There were also a series of animated shorts called The Inspector, with the bumbling Clouseauinspired Inspector and his sidekick Sgt. Deux-Deux, whom the Inspector is forever correcting. ("Deux" is French for"two," meaning the little man's name is both a pun and a play on words, "two" appearing twice in the name.) OtherDePatie-Freleng series included Roland and Rattfink, The Dogfather (a Godfather pastiche), with a canine Corleonefamily and two Tijuana Toads spinoffs, The Blue Racer and Crazylegs Crane.In 1976, the half-hour series was revamped into a 90-minute format, as The Pink Panther Laugh and a Half Hourand a Half Show; this version included a live-action segment, where the show's host, comedian Lenny Schultz,would read letters and jokes from viewers. This version flopped, and would change back to the original half-hourversion in 1977.In 1978, after nine years on NBC, The Pink Panther moved to ABC and was rebranded The All New Pink PantherShow, where it lasted one season before leaving the network realm entirely. The ABC version of the series featuredsixteen episodes with 32 new Pink Panther cartoons, and 16 of Crazylegs Crane. The 32 new Pink Panther cartoonswere eventually released to theatres by United Artists.

Comic bookIn 1971, Gold Key Comics began publishing a Pink Panther comic book, with art by Warren Tufts. The Pink Pantherand the Inspector lasted 87 issues, ending only when Gold Key ceased operations in 1984.[6] The spinoff series TheInspector (also from Gold Key) lasted 19 issues, from 1974 to 1978.[7]

Later television shows and specialsDuring the final years of the Panther's theatrical run, DePatie-Freleng produced a series of three primetime PinkPanther television specials for ABC. The first was 1978's A Pink Christmas. It featured the cool cat in New Yorkbeing cold and hungry looking for a juicy holiday dinner. The other two specials premiered on ABC after the shortsofficially ended in theaters, 1980s Olym-Pinks and 1981's Pink at First Sight. In November of late 2007, the threespecials were released on a single disc DVD collection, The Pink Panther: A Pink Christmas from MGM HomeEntertainment/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.The studio was sold to Marvel Comics in 1981, and became Marvel Productions (now its legacy is became part ofThe Walt Disney Company). In 1984, a new Saturday morning series was produced entitled Pink Panther and Sons.In this incarnation, the still-silent Pink Panther was a father of his two talking sons, Pinky and Panky. While popular,critics complained that there was not enough Pink Panther to maintain interest for a full 30 minutes.A new series of cartoon were created in 1993, simply titled The Pink Panther, produced by Metro-Goldwyn-MayerAnimation, premiered in syndication in 1993, and had the Pink Panther speaking with the voice of Matt Frewer (ofMax Headroom fame). Unlike the original shorts, not all episode titles contained the word "pink," although manyinstead contained the word "panther." Voice impressionist John Byner returned to voice both the Ant and theAardvark.

In July 2007, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Jordan's Rubicon animation company began co-production of theanimated series Pink Panther and Pals portraying a teenaged panther and his friends. The 26 episode TV seriespremiered worldwide in spring 2010 on Cartoon Network. In 2011, a new 22-minute holiday special entitled A VeryPink Christmas aired on ABC Family and later Boomerang in the U.S, YTV in Canada, and Boomerang in the UK,during the month of December.After acquiring United Artists in the early 1980s, MGM continues to own the ancillary rights and trademarks to thePink Panther franchise today.The German television version which started airing in 1973 in ZDF, was presented in 30-minute episodes, composedof one Pink Panther cartoon, one episode of The Inspector and one episode of The Ant and the Aardvark. Mostnotably, the difference between the German and the English version of The Pink Panther is a rhymed narration in theGerman version (spoken by voice actor Gert Günther Hoffmann), commenting and describing the plot. For thisshow, custom intro and end sequences were cut together from existing pieces of animation.

Popular culture

Engraving of the Pink Panther in A Coruña,Spain.

The Pink Panther remains popular some 45+ years since his firstappearance. In addition to the regular airing of the classic cartoon, thepanther also appears in the following:• The Pink Panther Show intro theme was used by Nike in a viral

campaign of Pink Mercurial Vapor IV football boots using theFrench football star Franck Ribery mimicking the character of thePink Panther.[8]

• The Pink Panther is a segment guest in the episode "Karate is K" ofSesame Street.[9]

• American television personality Regis Philbin can be seen in acommercial for Sweet'N Low talking to a taxi cab driver. After thecamera changes the view, the audience realize that the driver is The Pink Panther.[10]

• Owens Corning features him on their website and in advertising for their pink-colored residential buildinginsulation.[11][12]

• The German phone company Deutsche Telekom uses Pink Panther as an advertising mascot since 1995 inGermany.

• Japanese Pop/R&B singer Namie Amuro, who is a fan of the cartoon, uses him as the theme of her album coverart for her album Queen of Hip-Pop. A special character the "Namie Panther" based on Amuro herself was alsocreated as a counterpart to the Pink Panther. Both characters were heavily featured in her music video for herpromotional single "WoWa." Because of the Pink Panther deal, all of the material released for the album had beenpink. First pressing packaging of the album included Pink Panther stickers and a Pink Panther styled newspapercontaining lyrics for the album.

• In Spain, a Pantera Rosa cake is sold. It is coated in pink.[13][14]

• In the Family Guy episode "Halloween on Spooner Street", after Brian is spray painted pink, the Pink Pantherwalks up and asks Brian if this is his first day pink. Upon Brian's reply, the Pink Panther says, "Welcome to Hell."

Charitable workThe Pink Panther is associated with a number of cancer awareness and support organisations. The Pink Panther is themascot of the New Zealand Child Cancer foundation[15] and for a line of clothing to promote breast cancerawareness.[16]

Critical notesAs Pink Panther historian Jerry Beck notes, "Classic animation pretty much died in the '60s, everyone had kind ofbailed out. But his creators didn't rest on their laurels. They didn't make the cartoons to look like Warner Bros.cartoons, or Disney cartoons, or the UPA look of Mister Magoo and Gerald McBoing-Boing. They came up withtheir own clever new style. The only other important cartoon of the '60s was Yellow Submarine."[1]

The Pink Panther was therefore a notable contribution to the animation art form. Top animation directors such asHawley Pratt, Gerry Chiniquy, Robert McKimson, and Sid Marcus contributed to a distinctive style, supported bymaster story writer John W. Dunn. Produced after theatrical cartooning's golden age of the 1940s and 50s, they wereconstrained to the limited animation techniques applied to Saturday morning cartoons of 1960s and after. Withinthese limitations, the Pink Panther made creative use of absurd and surreal themes and visual puns and an almostcompletely wordless pantomime style, set to the ubiquitous Pink Panther theme and its variations by Henry Mancini.The overall approach is reminiscent of the classic silent movies of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.[17]

Cultural references were more muted and stylized, resulting in a cartoon with longer-term, more cross-culturalappeal not shared by contemporaries such as Yogi Bear and The Flintstones, with their greater reliance oncontemporary American pop culture. The Pink Panther also remained constrained to the classic six-minute form oftheatrical shorts, while contemporaries expanded into longer, sitcom-like storylines, up to a full 30 minutes ofbroadcast TV in the case of The Flintstones. Freleng's colleagues credit his sense of creative timing as a key elementto the cartoon's artistic success. Freleng himself regarded the Pink Panther as his finest achievement and thecharacter he most identified with, according to family and colleagues interviewed on the 2006 DVD release.
