An original 1965 U.S one sheet mvoei poster for the short animated film The Pink Phink, animated and directed by Friz Freleng. In the film The Pink Panther and an unnamed painter (also known as the "Little Man") compete over whether a house should be painted blue or pink. Each time the painter attempts to paint something blue, the panther thwarts him in a new way, and paints the object/area pink.
Friz  created the character of the Pink Panther for the animated titles to the film The Pink Panther (1963) and then used the character for a series of cartoons for DePatie-Freleng. He won his fifth Academy Award for the original of that series, The Pink Phink (1964), and he continued to produce Pink Panther cartoons until his retirement in 1981.
