The Pink Phink is a 1964 animated short comedy film, directed by Friz Freleng and Hawley Pratt. It is the first animated short starring Blake Edwards' Pink Panther.
Plot
The Pink Panther and an unnamed painter (affectionately known as the "Little Man"[1]) compete over whether a house should be painted blue or pink. Each time the painter attempts to paint something blue, the panther thwarts him in a new way. At the end, the painter inadvertently turns the house and everything around it pink and the panther moves in. But just before he moves in, he paints the white man completely pink. The white man gets very upset and bangs his head against a mailbox. The Pink Panther then walks into the house as the sun sets.

Academy Award
The Pink Phink was the first Pink Panther animated short produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and by winning the 1964 Academy Award for Animated Short Film, it marked the first time that a studio won an Academy Award with 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 version of 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 The Little Man (Big Nose) to cover the outside of the house in paint, is homage to the original short.

Pink Pajamas is the second cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 entries were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
A homeless Pink Panther is roaming the streets late at night, barely able to keep himself awake. He manages to find a flop house, but gets tossed out as quickly as he enters. Eventually, he finds his way into a cozy, nearby home, and washes up for bed. Soon afterward, the sauced homeowner stumbles in and crashes to bed, completely unaware that the Pink Panther is occupying his bed. Only after the homeowner gets himself a hotwater bottle and places it in his bed does the boiling feline, make himself known. Having never seen the Pink Panther before, the homeowner is convinced that he is hallucinating, and phones Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The AA rep comes over (still in his pajamas), smells the alcohol on the homeowner's breath, and sternly proceeds to remove every bottle of booze in the house, tossing them out into the trash can at the curbside. The two guys are then about to drink a toast to sobriety (via a glass of milk) when the Pink Panther strolls through the house, looking for the bed. Realizing that the hallucination was real after all, both men run out of the house and chase after the garbage truck in an attempt to retrieve the liquor.[1]

Plot
An English gentleman talks to the Pink Panther, who is busy reading a book about secret agents. The Englishman suggests that the panther become an agent, which greatly interests the feline. The Pink Panther wastes no time finding a trench coat, and begins scouring the streets in the prowl for spies. In no time, he finds a group of foreign agents planning to detonate a series of black-ball bombs. When the agents realize the Panther is following them, they attempt a series of ways to thwart his pursuit of them.[1]

Production notes
The title Pinkfinger is a parody of the 1964 film Goldfinger starring Sean Connery. By an odd coincidence, the episode number for Pinkfinger is 007.[2] NBC edited Pinkfinger in 1969 when the Panther finds a spy hideout and tries whispering the password "TSALB MIH" ("BLAST HIM" spelled backwards) to get in, he gets shot in the face by gunfire. NBC changed this to a close up of a black-ball bomb coming out of the peephole and blowing up.[2]

Plot
An offscreen English gentleman (Larry Storch) converses with the relaxing Pink Panther on a quiet Sunday afternoon, badgering him into doing some housework. Typically, the Pink Panther encounters several mishaps around the house. He manages to soak himself while trying to fix a leaky faucet, leading to the entire house being flooded. The panther also sets a power saw in motion, slicing off his tail and ultimately cutting his house in half. Plus, the basement lightblub continually goes dark every time the panther enters, leading him to stumble down the steps each and every time. Despite the endless mishaps, the English gentleman persists, irritating the feline. Finally, the Pink Panther loads a blunderbuss, giving the Englishman the impression that the panther is going to shoot him, but he shoots the faulty basement lightbulb, but backfire causes the panther to get trapped in a luggage he took the blunderbuss from.[1]

Pink Ice is the ninth cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
The Pink Panther owns a diamond mine in South Africa and manages to unearth a large stone. Though he has safely locked the diamond away, a crooked pair of miners, named Devereaux (with the vocal mimicking in the style of Alfred Hitchcock) and Hoskins, operating the neighboring mine steal the panther's discovery. Devereaux and Hoskins then try to dispose of the Pink Panther, but fail miserably. In conclusion of the last scheme, Devereaux and Hoskins end up turning on each other as the panther takes their largest gem.

Notability
Pink Ice represents one of only two shorts in which the feline is given dialogue.[1][2][3][4] Whereas the panther had a single line of dialogue in Sink Pink, he is given extensive dialogue in Pink Ice. Friz Freleng soon realized that the feline was more appealing as a sophisticated mute, and discontinued the talking panther for the remainder of the series 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 British accent. Niven's sophisticated vocal style was chosen for the Pink Panther, as he portrayed diamond thief Sir Charles Lytton (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?"

An Ounce of Pink is the 12th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
The Pink Panther encounters a coin-operated talking weight and fortune machine which suggests that he bring it home with him on the basis of it being a valuable asset, able to provide weather forecasts and sports scores and predict the future whenever the panther so-desires. The Pink Panther assents to the machine's proposal, but whenever the machine is on the verge of disclosing expected important information, it goes silent, requiring the panther to insert a dime in the machine's coin slot. Besides, the information is not helpful in improving the panther's condition as a safe falls on top of the Pink Panther after the machine foresees a fortune "com(ing his) way", "back payment from a rear" is really a painful impact onto him from behind by a speeding car, and the panther refuses to believe the machine's statement that his future is "in the bag", the result being instant wealth for a man who picks up from a street a sack of money that the Pink Panther would have owned had he heeded the machine's prescience. A woman who gets insulted be the machine when she uses it tries to sic her dog on the machine, but the dog's basic instincts cause it to attack the Pink Panther instead. The rope with which the Pink Panther pulls the machine up a hill breaks, and the machine rolls down the hill and off of a city pier. The Pink Panther, knowing no good will come of this, declines to save it from drowning, instead dropping an anvil onto it to hasten its submergence into the water.

Plot
The Pink Panther goes fishing for an afternoon, and decides to stop first to purchase worms for bait. One worm, however, is reluctant to join the panther. The worm later tries to sabotage the panther's fishing trip by attaching the hook to the motor propeller of a nearby boat, and later cutting off the wire to the motor in the panther's own boat. Finally, the panther has to fight an extremely vicious crab he has fished up from the water.

Reel Pink was one of several entries that would also be featured on The Pink Panther Show during bumper segments. Individual scenes would be utilized with a new soundtrack and off-screen narration supplied by Marvin Miller.[1] The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV. Most American broadcasts currently air with the laugh track muted; however, Reel Pink airs with the original laugh track intact on the Spanish language Boomerang TV channel.

Pink Punch is the 15th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
The Pink Panther appears on a stage, advertising his "Pink Punch" drink via a series of placards with, of course, pink lettering. 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 various stratagems (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. When he tries to destroy it, he is confronted with an extremely large, threatening green five-pointed asterisk, evidently the small one's parent or guardian. This surreal situation continues in the Panther's laboratory where he is mixing up more Pink Punch. The green asterisk appears with a beach umbrella and towel, and dives into the basin, turning the punch green. The Panther pulls the plug to send the asterisk down the drain, but the large asterisk appears again and forces him to fish the small asterisk out with a plunger. When the Panther flies his small prop plane trailing an advertising banner, the asterisk shows 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 the hapless 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
Pink Punch turns the Panther green. As he turns away, the asterisk turns itself pink.
35
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 who has 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 most part, 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]

The Pink Blueprint is the 18th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
A frustrated building contractor battles with the Pink Panther over the design of a house being built. The original design has blue overtones and a more traditional shape; conversely, the panther's is rounded, sleek, and all pink. Several unsuccessful attempts are made at swapping the original house blueprint with the pink version. In conclusion, 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 most part, utilized. However, several television prints made their way onto the DVD set, The Pink Blueprint being one of them.[2]

Pink, Plunk, Plink is the 19th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
The 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 Fifth Symphony. After quietly playing his theme on his violin during the symphony, the angered conductor comes over to the group of violinists to inspect their violin bows. The Panther's bow manages to fire a blast of smoke like a gun into 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 to blast his theme song once again. The conductor becomes even more infuriated, and tries a third time to remove the Panther from the proceedings. Pinky disguises himself against the fancy pedestal of a harp, making himself invisible to the enraged conductor. Thinking he has succeeded in ridding the music hall of the panther, the conductor returns to his podium, unaware that the Panther has substituted his baton with a small rocket. The rocket then shoots into the air and takes the conductor up with it, and then the rocket explodes and drops the conductor far away, allowing the Pink Panther to conduct the orchestra in a rousing rendition of his Pink Panther theme. In the end, Henry Mancini makes a brief cameo, applauding the panther's performance.[1]
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, applauding for 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 of prerecorded musical scores for the series, which was a considerable savings for the studio. Previously, each entry had its own unique score composed by William Lava, created to match the action of the scene. Greene composed several compositions for the Pink Panther shorts, many which featured variations on Henry Mancini's classic theme song. These scores would be utilized regularly until a new set of tunes were written by Steve DePatie for the 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 his earlier cartoon, Rhapsody Rabbit.[2]

Inside the box is the Pink Panther, insulted that the photographer is a cheapskate. Naturally, the feline tries his best to make the photographer's visit horrible by slinging him into a tree trunk with the camera lens. Just before the photographer is taking a picture, the panther replaces the camera with himself and kisses the photographer, then while he is taking the picture, Pink puts the flasher in the photographer's eyes, making the man see spots. Then the photographer falls off a cliff, because he was backing up and didn't get a good view of the flowers, where Pink is hiding. Then the panther eats flash bulbs, mistaking them for eggs, and starts to hiccup, and make him flash afterwards. During this he runs to a dark tent, where the photographer is developing photos, flashes again and ruins the photos. Then the photographer goes to see Crystal Springs, but the panther makes the bridge to go the opposite direction twice. When the stunned man sees where he's gone, he turns, and the panther sends him into the lake where the bridge makes the man cross the lake. Every time the photographer attempts to snap a picture with his camera (first a crank-operated camera, then an instant camera), the Pink Panther somehow manages to appear in the picture, unbeknownst to the beleaguered
Smile Pretty, Say Pink 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. Somehow, the photographer ends up being caught in the eruption of Old Faithful.[1] In the end, the photographer gets his vengeance by luring the Pink Panther to a fake movie shooting whereupon he literally blasts the Pink Panther with a gun disguised as a movie camera. Then, the charred and stunned panther has his cigarette burn and fall out of his cigarette holder and his tooth falls out.

Notes
This was the last Pink Panther cartoon that William Lava scored, although Walter Greene did the score for Pink, Plunk, Plink. Music composed by Lava as heard in the 1965 cartoons (Mostly the music heard in Pink Ice),shall see reuse in later episodes albeit with the music credited with Greene as the musician.[2] The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV. Most American broadcasts currently air with the laugh track muted; however, Smile Pretty, Say Pink airs with the original laugh track intact on the Spanish language Boomerang TV channel. Smile Pretty, Say Pink was remade in 1978 as Pink Pictures.[2]

Pink-A-Boo is the 21st cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
A group of mice continue to hold wild parties inside the wall of the Pink Panther's house. At first, it does not bother him, but when the mice opt to raid his refrigerator for snacks, the panther decides to put a stop to the festivities.
Notes
Pink-A-Boo marks the second short scored by Walter Greene. He became the regular music director from this point on. Greene ushered in the era of prerecorded musical scores for the series, which was a considerable savings for the studio. Previously, each entry had its own unique score composed by William Lava, created to match the action of the scene. Greene composed several compositions for the Pink Panther shorts, many which featured variations on Henry Mancini's classic theme song. These scores would be utilized regularly until a new set of tunes were written by Steve DePatie for the made-for-television entries starting in 1978.[1] The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV. Most American broadcasts air the cartoon with the laughter muted, though the laugh-tracked version still airs on the Spanish language Boomerang TV channel.

Laugh track
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 most part, utilized. However, several television prints made their way onto the DVD set, Super Pink being one of them. As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.[1]
Censorship
When Super Pink was first broadcast on NBC-TV in 1969, the scene featuring the Pink Panther being blasted in the face with a gun (resulting in blackface) was changed to toy water pistol splashing his face.

Plot
The Little Man and his Little dog are out camping one night, unaware that the Pink Panther is sleeping on a tree branch just above them.

When the dog hears the man's scream for help, he grips the knife in his mouth, and seeing this, the man blames the dog for what has happened. Later, the panther attaches the little man's hammock above the campfire, and sends the tent with the man in it floating down the river towards a waterfall.

Notes
Rock A Bye Pinky marks the first appearance of the Little Man's unnamed white dog. The dog would prove an excellent foil for the Pink Panther and appeared in future entries Pink Paradise, Slink Pink, Pink Tuba-Dore, Pink 8 Ball and Keep Our Forests Pink.[1] Footage from Rock A Bye Pinky 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.

Plot
The Pink Panther walks onto an airfield for an experimental military X-13 jet. Having visions of himself as a famous Air Force pilot, he decides to take the jet for an unauthorized test flight. But the speed of the aircraft is beyond what the panther had anticipated, and because he does not know what the buttons in the cockpit do, the ones that he presses send the airplane into rises, dives, swirls, circles, and low flight over a city. Finally, the Pink Panther activates an ejector seat and is parachuted to the ground, with the parachute opening a second too late. Military Police chase the Pink Panther for him having taken the airplane.[1]

Plot
The 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 going by, then he tries to flag down a car by pulling up his pink "sock" showing his pink-and-white-striped leg, but the car runs 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 legs perched on the fence. Suddenly the pink panther has an idea, he can ride the horse to Anaheim (shown in a thought bubble). Crossing over to the horse's field, he tries to pet the horse, but the horse steps on his foot, as he tries to pull his foot away from the horse, he pulls his foot out of his pink sock (showing again his pink and white striped leg and foot) and yells in pain, for this he kicks the horse's rear. The horse does not seem impressed and promptly kicks the pink panther backwards (while not moving the rest of his body) sending the pink panther flying into the side of a wooden 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 to climb. The horse appears annoyed and promptly kicks the ladder up into the air. Amazingly, Pink only realises this has happened when he approaches the top of the ladder and sees to his horror that he is about 1000ft 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
Pinto Pink climb down the ladder as it starts to fall again. Amazingly the ladder sticks in the ground vertically as it hits ground level, 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 his face. As Pink tries to lift the saddle onto the horse, the horse takes a few steps away. Pink sides up to him and tries again 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 hear him 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 the horse, he then drops himself into the saddle. For a moment, the horse looks like he wonders what on earth is going on, then he turns and sees the panther and his facial expression changes from one of confusion to one of anger. Pink kicks his legs as if to tell the horse to giddy up, the horse suddenly flies into a spin fight with Pink and emerges with the panther on all fours, saddle on his back, with the horse sat in the saddle. Pink crouches there in disbelief as the horse 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 down the 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 Pink covered in bandages, the Anaheim sign "repaired" with rope, and again he is trying to hitch a ride. A van comes zooming past Pink, not stopping to offer him a ride, with the horse in the back laughing in the same hysterical manner at the poor old panther.

The opening theme that plays until the big bear asks the panther to take the baby away and the sequence of the baby sobbing awakening contain William Lava's music scores from An Ounce of Pink.

Looking for a place to dispose of trash, the panther removes hot rivets from a bucket and pours them into a workman's hard hat; when the man puts the hat on, he experiences scorching pain. The final blow emerges when the Pink Panther tries to move a steel girder, which hits a wooden beam being carried by one of the workers and triggers a chain-reaction of collisions that destroys the foundations of the building. The Pink Panther flees the enraged construction workers, who give chase.

Production notes
The nature of Pink Outswith its brief gags stacked one after anotherlent itself to be recycled for usage in connecting bumpers sequences for The Pink Panther Show with additional off-screen narration supplied by Marvin Miller. Every segment except the military theme was featured in a bumper, with the sailboat painting gag utilized twice. The hungry panther segment would later be used as the opening theme segment for the 1980 syndicated version of The Pink Panther Show.[1] The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when originally broadcast on NBC. Currently, the laugh track version airs on Boomerang and Gulli France channel. The final two music cues heard when the panther is mowing his lawn are lifted from Pinkfinger and Pink Panzer. Both cues were composed by William Lava.[1]

In the package ticks a clock. The Pink Panther tries to deliver it, but he cannot get past a dog.

The Panther then helps her out by transforming her into a beautiful girl with a beautiful house and a car. On the way to the contest the witch arrives and takes back her wand, but crashes into a clock tower. The Pink Panther realises it is midnight, and runs back to pull the girl out, but not before her slipper falls out. A while later, Pelvis Parsley arrives and finds that the slipper fits the girl, and takes her with him. The witch, again drunk, drops her wand, and the Panther picks it up. They start fighting turning each other into a variety of objects, before the Pink Panther turns her into a female Pink Panther,slightly reluctant about the wand seeing any more use, snaps the wand into two, and flies away with her on the broomstick.

Plot
In ancient times, when the world was young and hungry, the Pink Panther is starving until he comes up to large bone.

For the rest of the cartoon, Pink, the caveman, green dinosaur and blue dinosaur compete over who gets the bone. Eventually none of them, as it falls into a ancient crocodiles mouth.
Production notes
The 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 two years. When the theatrical Pink Panther shorts found a new home on NBC-TV on Saturday mornings as The Pink Panther Show in 1969, David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng opted to focus on other series for the successful television show. New series like Tijuana Toads, The Ant and the Aardvark and Roland and Rattfink began production at this time. 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.

Plot
The Pink Panther works as a waiter at the Gong Ho Cantonese Restaurant, which features food orders being placed by striking a huge gong x amount of times, depending on the order. Unfortunately, a new fine china store called House of Glass moves in upstairs with a sign in the window declaring "Opening Soon." The end result are shards of broken glass every time the panther places an order. Despite several attempts by the store owner to prevent glass from flying everywhere, his store is reduced to rubble in a matter of a few hours.
Notes
This was the final Pink Panther short directed by Hawley Pratt. Though an additional 40+ shorts would be produced for the series, critics noted that Pratt's touch for the manic was missed.[1] The title Gong with the Pink is a parody of the film title Gone with the Wind. The New 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, Gong with the Pink being one of them. As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.[2]

Plot
The Pink Panther spends the day in his attic rummaging through an old trunk. Inside, he finds several old letters from his former Army friend, Loudmouth Louie, which causes the panther to reminisce about his past. Firstly, Louie says that he wouldn't forget the day the panther joined the Army (G.I. Pink) then reminds him of a short-lived job the panther had as a railway porter (Pink in the Clink). Next, Louie reminds the panther of when the latter was offered the former's apartment whilst Louie was out of town; aside from a small shower mishap the panther had, Louie said he had forgiven him for ruining his toothbrush (Pink Pajamas) and also for taking a single egg left in the refrigerator (Pickled Pink), as well as reminding him of the night he accidentally got into a neighbour's apartment when he came home late (also Pink Pajamas). Then Louie mentions about when the panther went into his "Super Speedy Messenger Service" business when he left, one delivery of which was continuously stymied by a dog (The Pink Package Plot). Louie finishes the letters there, adding a postscript asking if the panther ever did deliver the package.

Production
Pink-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 on The Pink Panther Show.[1] Another benefit of recycling scenes from previous entries was that it would cost DFE half of what a normal episode costs to produce, but would still allow them to sell syndication rights at full price.[1]
Referenced clips
Pink-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]

Trail of the Lonesome Pink is the 73rd cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
Fur-trapping French-Canadian brothers Jules and Jacques set about distributing foothold traps throughout the forest, and end up snarling the Pink Panther's tail while he is picnicking. Enragaed, the panther declares himself "The Pink Avenger" and goes about gathering an army of snapping turtles. Several mishaps then ensue when the turtles manage to bite the fur trappers repeatedly despite their attempts to capture the panther. After eventually getting caught in their own leg-trap, the pair are then both catapulted by a recoiling tree into the horizon.
Production notes
The title Trail of the Lonesome Pink is a parody of the 1936 film title The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. The Pink Panther and Friends 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 most part, utilized. However, several television prints made their way onto the DVD set, Trail of the Lonesome Pink being one of them. As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.

Plot
While taking a stroll through a local park, the Pink Panther comes across a small bird looking for a ride south for the winter. It soon becomes apparent that the little fellow cannot fly and, what is worse, is scared of heights. The witty panther then goes about devising several ways to get the bird in the air. First, he attaches a propeller to the bird's beak. When that fails (the bird has no coordination and goes crashing into a pile of garbage cans), the Pink Panther then tries to lower the bird from atop an apartment building, with a parachute attached. This fails when the little bird floats in the direction of a hungry alley cat tries to make the bird his lunch. Other options, like tying a balloon to the bird, are also tried. Finally, when all else fails, the Panther books the bird an airline ticket, allowing the bird to truly "fly" south for the winter.

Plot
Inspired by the legendary fictional character The Scarlet Pimpernel, the Pink Panther dons a red cape and a red hat with a feather, and becomes The Scarlet Pinkernel, protector of stray dogs. The first two dogs he saves from the dog catcher are anything but grateful, but the third dog, a large and cuddly one, gets too grateful and persistent, hops on the panther's motorcycle while he starts it, and blocks his view. The wild ride goes through a subway tunnel with a train in hot pursuit, and ends up in a telephone pole as the dog tries to chase a cat.
Production notes
The zoo scene utilises one of William Lava's music scores from Pickled Pink. The exterior of the zoo and enclosure were reused from Pink Elephant, albeit that an ostrich is in the enclosure instead of the elephant.

The enraged home-owner refuses to allow the panther to try again and buys a house-cat to combat the rodent. Fearing for his reputation, the Pink Panther acts to circumvent the cat and lure the mouse and its entire large family out of the house, direct to his own humble abode, where the mooching mice eat all of his food. The panther decides to become a drummer instead and attracts a parade of elephants from a zoo, which follow him against his will, and the lead mouse helps the panther by scaring the elephants away.

A thief dressed in black drives in a car, leaving tire tracks behind. Before entering a house, he reduces his car into a snake. The pink panther follows the trail to the house.

The panther sees the thief and gives chase up a really long flight of stairs. Then the thief and panther go upside down on the stairs. Not long after that, the thief cuts off a segment of the stairs and the panther tries to get the thief climbing a ladder. The thief and panther plunge into a tub of water along with the ladder (the panther gets a duck on his head).

When the panther surfaces out into a tub of water, the duck lays an egg on his head. The panther breaks open the egg, releasing the thief. As the panther walks on, a spotlight appears and homes in on him. The spotlight then becomes a balloon trapping the panther. The panther punctures the balloon with a claw, making an explosion of daisies.

Pinkologist is the 105th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
The Little Man visits a psychiatrist to discuss his constant struggles with the Pink Panther via flashbacks. After realating the painful stories, the psychiatrist shows him a picture of a human being. Then the human in the picture turns out to be the Pink Panther in disguise, sending both men flying out the window.
Production
Pinkologist was the second "best of" entry in the Pink Panther series (the first was 1971's Pink-In). 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 on The All New Pink Panther Show. Another benefit of recycling scenes from previous entries was that it would cost DFE half of what a normal episode costs to produce, but would still allow them 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, The Pink of Bagdad and Yankee Doodle Pink).[1]

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

Comic book
In 1971, Gold Key Comics began publishing a Pink Panther comic book, with art by Warren Tufts. The Pink Panther and the Inspector lasted 87 issues, ending only when Gold Key ceased operations in 1984.[6] The spinoff series The Inspector (also from Gold Key) lasted 19 issues, from 1974 to 1978.[7]
Pink Panther (character) In July 2007, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Jordan's Rubicon animation company began co-production of the animated series Pink Panther and Pals portraying a teenaged panther and his friends. The 26 episode TV series premiered worldwide in spring 2010 on Cartoon Network. In 2011, a new 22-minute holiday special entitled A Very Pink 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 the Pink Panther franchise today. The German television version which started airing in 1973 in ZDF, was presented in 30-minute episodes, composed of one Pink Panther cartoon, one episode of The Inspector and one episode of The Ant and the Aardvark. Most notably, the difference between the German and the English version of The Pink Panther is a rhymed narration in the German version (spoken by voice actor Gert Gnther Hoffmann), commenting and describing the plot. For this show, custom intro and end sequences were cut together from existing pieces of animation.

Popular culture
The Pink Panther remains popular some 45+ years since his first appearance. In addition to the regular airing of the classic cartoon, the panther 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 the French football star Franck Ribery mimicking the character of the Pink Panther.[8] The Pink Panther is a segment guest in the episode "Karate is K" of Sesame Street.[9]
American television personality Regis Philbin can be seen in a commercial for Sweet'N Low talking to a taxi cab driver. After the camera 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 building insulation.[11][12] The German phone company Deutsche Telekom uses Pink Panther as an advertising mascot since 1995 in Germany. Japanese Pop/R&B singer Namie Amuro, who is a fan of the cartoon, uses him as the theme of her album cover art for her album Queen of Hip-Pop. A special character the "Namie Panther" based on Amuro herself was also created as a counterpart to the Pink Panther. Both characters were heavily featured in her music video for her promotional single "WoWa." Because of the Pink Panther deal, all of the material released for the album had been pink. First pressing packaging of the album included Pink Panther stickers and a Pink Panther styled newspaper containing 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 Panther walks up and asks Brian if this is his first day pink. Upon Brian's reply, the Pink Panther says, "Welcome to Hell."

Charitable work
The Pink Panther is associated with a number of cancer awareness and support organisations. The Pink Panther is the mascot of the New Zealand Child Cancer foundation[15] and for a line of clothing to promote breast cancer awareness.[16]
Critical notes
As Pink Panther historian Jerry Beck notes, "Classic animation pretty much died in the '60s, everyone had kind of bailed 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 with their 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 as Hawley Pratt, Gerry Chiniquy, Robert McKimson, and Sid Marcus contributed to a distinctive style, supported by master story writer John W. Dunn. Produced after theatrical cartooning's golden age of the 1940s and 50s, they were constrained to the limited animation techniques applied to Saturday morning cartoons of 1960s and after. Within these limitations, the Pink Panther made creative use of absurd and surreal themes and visual puns and an almost completely 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-cultural appeal not shared by contemporaries such as Yogi Bear and The Flintstones, with their greater reliance on contemporary American pop culture. The Pink Panther also remained constrained to the classic six-minute form of theatrical shorts, while contemporaries expanded into longer, sitcom-like storylines, up to a full 30 minutes of broadcast TV in the case of The Flintstones. Freleng's colleagues credit his sense of creative timing as a key element to the cartoon's artistic success. Freleng himself regarded the Pink Panther as his finest achievement and the character he most identified with, according to family and colleagues interviewed on the 2006 DVD release.
