[edit] Plot

The painter's defeat by the end of the cartoon.
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"[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. (Ironically, the sky turns from pink to blue as the pink sun sets.)

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