Pink Posies is the 27th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.

Plot

The Pink Panther notices The Little Man planting yellow posies. The Pink Panther then notices the guide to plant yellow posies, and replaces it with pink posies. The Little Man relentlessly attempted to replace pink with yellow, but the panther remains one step ahead of him. The panther manages to fire pink posie seeds from a rifle, then unrolls a carpet with pink posies.

Production

Pink Posies is the third in a series of Pink Panther entries that deals with the Pink Panther and The Little Man battling over the color used in decoration. The two previous entries—The Pink Phink and The Pink Blueprint—had either been nominated or received an Academy Award, leading United Artists to commission another entry with a similarly successful storyline. Pink Posies was not nominated for an award, but would featured on The Pink Panther Show during bumper segments. Individual scenes were utilized with a new soundtrack and off-screen narration supplied by Marvin Miller. Footage would be resued again in the made-for-television entry Pinkologist.^[1]
