[edit] Plot
It's Valentines Day and the hip feline has no love and no money except for seven cents. He then goes to a messenger service for a job and gets fired then buys a cassette player and pre-recorded cassettes with the seven cents he had left. He then goes back to the messenger service miming to "Vesti la giubba", an aria from Ruggero Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci and gets hired as a messenger on Valentine's Day. Antics on the job entangle the breezy panther with a jealous husband (after the Panther steals the heart of a housewife whilst miming a 50s-ish sounding ballad), a snobby classic violinist (after the Panther used a precious violin as an electric guitar), a priest and tough gangsters. Finally, our hero meets the pantheress of his dreams, the ideal feline valentine.

Pink at First Sight alongside Olym-pinks and the title special A Pink Christmas was released on a single-disc DVD collection titled, The Pink Panther: A Pink Christmas on November 6th, 2007 from MGM Home Entertainment/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
