Toon Legends: Pink, Plunk, Plink (1966)

 Following the lead of Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry, the Pink Panther goes on stage with a symphony orchestra, whether Big Nose likes it or not, in "Pink, Plunk, Plink", which, in reality, is a love letter to Henry Mancini, who composed the iconic Panther theme, and makes a cameo appearance at the end of the short.

Mixing the Panther theme with Beethoven's 5th? Judge for yourselves.


To be fair, it did seem as though the orchestra had more energy once the Panther took the podium.

Rating: A.
