[edit] 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 mroe traditional shape; conversly, the panther's is rounded, sleek, and all pink. Several unsuccessful attempts are made at swapping the original house blueprint with the pink version.[1]
[edit] Notes
- The concept of substituting a pink version of something for the original color was borrowed from The Pink Phink. Ironically, both The Pink Blueprint and The Pink Phink were nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short Film, with the latter winning.
- 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. As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.[2]
