What happens

The Pink Phink is a 1964 American animated short comedy film directed by Friz Freleng. It is the first animated short starring the Pink Panther, based on the character created for the opening credits of Blake Edwards' film released a year earlier. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980. The short won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short at the 37th Academy Awards. In the film, the "Little Man" attempts to paint a house blue. The Panther keeps tricking him into using pink paint, while the painter is completely unaware of the Panther's presence. The Man eventually confronts the Panther and attempts to destroy his opponent's paint cans. He accidentally creates pink grass, pink flowers, pink bushes, pink trees, and a pink version of the Sun.
