In the Pink of the Night is the 60th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
After missing his morning train to work, the Pink Panther realizes he needs something heavy duty to help him wake up in the morning. He decides to purchase a cuckoo clock, which contains a live cuckoo hellbent on getting the stubborn feline out of bed. Eventually, the Pink Pather tires of the cuckoo's relentless efforts, and promptly dumps the clock into the local river.
That evening, the panther's guilty conscience gets the better of him. Fearing the little cuckoo is drowning alive, he rushes back to the river, with hopes of undoing the damage. He fails to find the cuckoo and his clock, and mopes his way home, unaware that the cuckoo has already crawled out of the river and placed himself on the panther's wall. Upon arriving home, the Pink Panther is so overcome with joy at the cuckoo's reapperance that he lets the little fellow snuggle in bed with him—and help disengage the blaring alarm clocks as well.
Notes
- In the Pink of the Night was the first Pink Panther short directed by former Looney Tunes veteran Art Davis. A friend of Friz Freleng, Davis was known for a unique characteristic visual style, which utilized all axes of the animation field. The Pink Panther series would benefit from Davis' expertise in years to come, particularly after the departure of director Hawley Pratt in 1971.
- In the Pink of the Night marks the first Panther short that is less slapstick in nature and more Disney oriented.
