[edit] The Plot

The painter's defeat by the end of the cartoon.

The Pink Panther and a painter (unnamed, but affectionately known as the "little white man" [sometimes the little tan 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. Finally, the painter inadvertently turns the house and everything around it pink and the panther moves in.

[edit] 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 DeeDee finds clever ways to turn the blue lab into a completely pink lab.

[edit] Notes

The Pink Phink won in 1964 the Academy Award for Short Subjects, Animated Films. It marked the first time in history that a studio won an Academy Award with its very first animated short film.[2]
