	Movies - The Pink Phink

The Pink Phink, released on December 18, 1964, was the first Pink Panther animated short released by United Artists and was produced at DePatie-Freleng Enterprises. In this short, the Pink Panther and a painter(the Inspector) 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 panther succeeds in turning the house and everything around it pink and moves in. It won the 1964 Academy Award for Short Subjects, animated films.

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 Inspector) 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.
