Pink Outs is the 36th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.

Plot

The Pink Panther is featured in a series of skits, each one ending when the screen "pinks out."

  • Public clean-up week - the panther uses a brace and bit to obtain paint from the painter above him, only to have the painter below hmi perform the same trick
  • Homewrecking - the panther tries to demolish a condemned home, only to have he and his wrecking ball fall to pieces
  • Hourglass beach - the panther is relaxing on what appears to be a beach, but he sinks into the sand and falls into what is revealed to be the bottom of an hourglass
  • Hungry - while trying to rumage something to eat, the panther gets desperate and folds the screen backdrop into a finger-sized square and eats it, resulting in the backdrop springing back to full size inside the panther's stomach
  • Tightrope elephant - the panther tries to move an elephant off of his tightrope
  • Military - the G.I. panther battles an armed catterpiller
  • Sailboat painting - the panther straightens a crooked picture of an ocean sailboat, only to have the ocean water in the painting leak onto the floor
  • Bathtub surfing - the panther appears to be performing daredevil surfing stunts, only to reveal he is based in his bathtub
  • Sunday afternoon lawn mowing #1 - while mowing his lawn, the panther deals with an angry stork while attempting to cut down a large bush
  • The Great Pinko - the magician panther saws a fake panther in half, only to have his own body split in two
  • Pink balloon - the panther helps a child inflate a balloon
  • Sunday afternoon lawn mowing #2 - while mowing his lawn again, the panther attempts to cut down the same large bush, only to have the foundation give way underneath him

Notes

  • The nature of Pink Outs—with its brief gags stacked one after another—lent itself to be recycled for usage in commercial bumpers sequences for The Pink Panther Show with additional off-screen narration supplied by Marvin Miller. Every segment except the military theme was featured in a bumper, with the sailboat painting gag utilized twice. The hungry panther segment would later be used as the opening theme segment for the 1980 syndicated version of The Pink Panther Show.[1]
  • The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when originally broadcast on NBC. Currently, the laugh track version airs on Boomerang and Gulli France channel.
  • The final two music cues heard when the panther is mowing his lawn are lifted from Pinkfinger and "Pink Panzer". Both cues were composed by William Lava.[1]
