Pink Aye is the 72nd cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980. Pink Aye was the first entry in the Pink Panther series after a two-year hiatus.

Plot

The Pink Panther is a stowaway on the cruise ship Luxitania where a famous opera star is sailing. While the ship's captain courts her, the steward who is also assigned to her (the "little man") finds the Panther and tries to capture him. However, the Panther's food-pilfering and the stewards attempts to catch him keep disrupting the opera star and Captain, and he feels the wrath of the Captain every time.

Laugh track

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, Pink Aye being one of them. As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.
