"The diamond was stolen in the first film (but the panther was never shown" -- Ortolan, I'm pretty sure the opening sequence of the first film has the sultan / whoever inspeacting the diamond and being told of the reason for the name. He gazes into it and the camera zooms in. After some 60s-style special effects, the head of the cartoon PP is seen, with a cigarette holder. -- Tarquin 20:14 Jan 9, 2003 (UTC)
(about the snippet of organ Dreyfuss plays (deleted)) What, you want me to get out my Edition Peters and prove it (I know, Breitkopf is more authoritative, but it's also too d@mn expensive)?
Or is that too trivial? I've always liked knowing that, but then I'm a freakshow. Kwantus 22:41, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I think it should be pointed out that the (early) cartoons were unusual, not just for being silent (except for sound fx) but also for their surreal nature. They were unlike any other cartoons of the time. In addition, they were full of 60's cultural references, such as beatniks.
It should also be pointed that the character of the Inspector never appeared together with the Panther in the original cartoons; though the Panther often clashed with characters resembling him. (They did appear together in the comic book covers.)-Wilfredo Martinez
breakout pages
This article needs to be split into seperate pages for each use of the term "pink panther." I will try to work on it later today, but if anyone wants to beat me to it, be my guest. --b. Touch 21:17, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Black Panthers etc.?
Pardon, but can anyone recall exactly why links are included to the pages for the Black Panthers, Grey Panthers, etc.? Apart from the fact that they include a color and the word "Panther," there seems to be absolutely no connection to the character or the film series. Would anyone object if I were to remove those links? Also, I think a seperate page for discussion of the Pink Panther character and cartoons (and allowing for more indepth discussion of both the origin of his use in the opening credits, and his TV and commercial incarnations) is in order, wouldn't one say? (If I get the time, I may try to do it myself). Aleal 20:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I agree. It only makes sense to cross-link to Black Panthers or Gray Panthers if the Pink Panther is also the symbol of some group... such as breast-cancer survivors... or gay rights advocates. I think Snagglepuss has got the latter covered, but I don't know for certain. Wahkeenah 21:04, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Ha! Thanks, Wahkeenah, I needed the laugh. Anyway, links removed. Aleal 00:40, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
