The Pink Panther is the main and title character in a series of animated short films. The character originally appeared in the opening and closing credit sequences of the 1963 live-action feature film The Pink Panther.

The cool cat starred in 124 shorts (either theatrical or made-for-television), 10 television shows and 3 television specials (primetime).
