Purely History on Instagram: "The Pink Panther cartoon debuted in 1964, originally created for the opening credits of the live-action film The Pink Panther. The animated character’s smooth, wordless comedy was such a hit that it quickly spun off into its own cartoon series. Known for its jazzy theme music and playful slapstick, the Pink Panther became a global icon of cool humor, starring in shorts, television specials, and films for decades."
