Information
The
Pink Panther was once the movie industry's hippest cartoon
star. Film audiences of all ages love the high style,
clever humor and colorful adventures of this pink-inked
feline. The Pink Panther was created by Friz Freleng for
the opening title sequence of Blake Edward's, 1964 comedy
farce THE PINK PANTHER. Almost instantly the cartoon character
received reviews that were as good or better than the
film itself! The new star had obviously clawed his mark,
and a series of short subjects was immediately put info
production.
Freleng placed the Panther in many offbeat situations:
spoofing 60s trends such as secret agents in PINKFINGER
and youth culture in PSYCHEDELIC PINK ; exploring musical
themes in PINK, PLUNK, PLINK and romping into the surreal
in PINK PUNCH. However the most entertaining of all the
shorts are those featuring "the little man," who can turn
up as anyone - including a safecracker in DIAL 'P' FOR
PINK and a drunk in PINK PAJAMAS.
