While relaxing in his tree house, the Pink Panther becomes the victim of the lumberjack who has just cut down the tree his house was in, effectively destroying it. As a measure of revenge, the panther follows the man home and quietly stealing his house, piece by piece. As he notices everything is disappearing little by little (front door, back steps, fireplace, chimney, furniture, plumbing, walls, roof, etc.), the man first thinks it is termites, then thieves. However, both the exterminator and policeman think he is crazy. This leads to a visit to a psychiatrist, who confirms it. |

Sink Pink is the fifth cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.
Plot
An eccentric man has builds an ark and has it filled with specimens of all animals except a pink panther. To complete his zoological collection, the man sets out to hunt the Pink Panther and add the feline to his collection.
Notability
Sink Pink represents one of only two shorts in which the feline is given dialogue.[1][2][3][4] Whereas the panther had extensive dialogue in Pink Ice, he has a single line of dialogue consisting of "Why can't man be more like animal?" Friz Freleng soon realized that the feline was more appealing as a sophisticated mute, and discontinued the talking panther for the remainder of the series.[1][2]
The voice was supplied by impressionist Rich Little impersonating English actor David Niven, complete with British accent. Niven's sophisticated vocal style was chosen for the Pink Panther, as he portrayed diamond thief Sir Charles Lytton (aka, the Phantom) in the original Pink Panther film with Peter Sellers.[1][2][5]
Laugh track
The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV. Currently, the laugh-tracked version airs on the Spanish language Boomerang.
