(the first of which, won the Academy Award for Short Subjects, Cartoons)

Remember me? First I was a movie title... Now I'm a movie Star!!!

The Pink Panther and a painter (unnamed, but affectionately known as the "little white 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. Finally, the painter inadvertently turns the house and everything around it pink and the panther moves in.

Pink Pajamas
Directed by Friz Freleng, Hawley Pratt
Written by John W. Dunn
Released on December 24, 1964 (midnight)
Distributed by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (DFE)

Night has fallen, and the Pink Panther is looking for a place to sleep. A flop house denies him access, but he fortunately finds a key on the ground that gives him entry to a man's home, in which the Pink Panther helps himself to the man's shaving equipment, electric toothbrush, and bed. The man, a drunk, arrives home after one of his binges and, casting eyes on the pink feline in his bed, thinks he's having an alcoholic hallucination. He calls Alcoholics Anonymous to send someone to help him quit drinking. A man from A.A. throws all of the drunk's booze bottles into a garbage can, and they sit down to share a carton of milk. Then, both men see the Pink Panther walk past them! Befuddled, the two men rush to find the Department of Sanitation truck carrying the bottles of booze. After what they've seen, a drinking spree is in order!

Fun Stuff click to show This short marks the only time a studio has won an Oscar with its first cartoon release. The Pink Panther character, created for the animated opening credits of The Pink Panther (1963), was so popular that this short was produced as a starring vehicle for the character, and marked the beginning of a series of animated Pink Panther short films at a rate of one a month. Theatrically released in the USA with Kiss Me, Stupid (1964). An episode of the animated series Dexter's Laboratory, entitled "A Silent Cartoon", is a homage to this short; the short features Dexter (filling the role of the painter) trying to construct a blue laboratory, while an all-pink version of his sister DeeDee finds clever ways to turn the blue lab into a completely pink lab. *Pink Pajamas* Directed by Friz Freleng, Hawley Pratt Written by John W.
