Premiering in 1969, The Pink Panther Show brought the elegant, rosy-colored feline from movie title sequences into his own animated spotlight. Known for his silent, sly, and endlessly stylish personality, the Pink Panther didn’t need dialogue to steal the show — his humor came through smooth movement, clever visual gags, and that unforgettable jazzy theme by Henry Mancini.
Each short followed the Panther as he strolled into everyday situations — painting houses, fixing machines, or just trying to relax — only for chaos to unfold in the most delightfully understated way. Paired with the loud, bumbling Little Man as his frequent foil, the series became a masterclass in visual comedy, closer to classic silent film humor than typical cartoons of the era.
Elegant, funny, and timeless, The Pink Panther Show remains one of animation’s coolest icons.
