Director Blake Edwards contacted DePatie-Freleng and asked them to
design a panther character for Edwards's new film, The Pink Panther; and
they would also produce the animated titles for the film. The opening
titles were hugely popular and soon DePatie-Freleng contracted with
United Artists to produce a series of cartoon shorts featuring the Pink
Panther. The first entry in the Pink Panther series, The Pink Phink, was
directed by Freleng; and won the studio its only Academy Award in 1964.
In 1967, DePatie-Freleng would receive another Academy Award nomination
for The Pink Blueprint. The studio created over 100 Pink Panther shorts
for both theatrical release and television through 1980.

Henry Mancini composed "The Pink Panther Theme" for the live action films, which was also used in the cartoon series. Doug Goodwin composed the show's opening title music, while William Lava and Walter Greene composed music scores heard throughout the cartoons; many of which were derivations of Mancini's composition.

The
Pink Panther theatrical series of cartoons became the basis of a
Saturday morning television series, The Pink Panther Show. The series
(1969-1980) also included cartoons of The Inspector; and eventually The
Ant and the Aardvark, Tijuana Toads (a.k.a. Texas Toads), Hoot Kloot,
Misterjaw, Roland and Rattfink, The Dogfather, and two Tijuana Toads
spinoffs: The Blue Racer and Crazylegs Crane. It was produced by Mirisch
Films and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, and was broadcast on two
American television networks: from September 6, 1969 to September 2,
1978, on NBC; and from September 9, 1978 to September 1, 1980, on ABC
(as The All New Pink Panther Show). After nine years on NBC, the Pink
Panther moved to ABC in 1978 and was titled The All New Pink Panther
Show, where it lasted one season before leaving the network realm
entirely. The ABC version of the series featured sixteen episodes with
32 new Pink Panther cartoons, and 16 featuring Crazylegs Crane.
Over its 11 years on various television networks, The Pink Panther Show had a variety of names:
The Pink Panther Show (1969–1970)
The Pink Panther Meets the Ant and the Aardvark (1970–1971)
The New Pink Panther Show (1971–1974)
The Pink Panther and Friends (1974–1976)
It's the All New Pink Panther Laugh-and-a-Half Hour-and-a-Half Show Introducing Misterjaw (1976–1977)
Think Pink Panther (1977–1978)
The All New Pink Panther Show (1978–1980)
