Pink Panther From Head To Toe - 1969

It's Ready For You - This Version

[AllRequired]

Other good examples of Scanimation included The Electric Company and Lancelot Link.

[leesimpsons]

The New Pink Panther Show has been remastered, and currently airs on BBC TWO in the United Kingdom, each weekday morning at 11.35am.

[richartrod]

I remember seeing this Saturday mornings on NBC around 1975, when I was in kindergarten. The computer effects on the show title clearly has to be Scanimate, which was the only computer animation system in the world in the early 1970's and state of the art. DePatie-Freleng and Hanna-Barbera were both experimenting with Scanimate as a means of speeding up production, but that wouldn't happen until digital animation came around in the 80's.

[ChiuahuaTubeALT]

Pink Panther sure beats the crap out of Happy Harmonies (MGM)

[grimTales1]

I used to love this! And the Ant and Aardvark too.

[Sirromdzen]

I remember watching this on NBC4 in L.A. back in early '69 to around '76. Good clean fun. Lol every time.

[Gmackematix]

Think of all the animals you ever heard about, like rhinoceros and ocelot and lynx. Think of all the animals in all the world but have you ever seen a panther that is pink...think...a panther that is positively pink. Well here he is the pink panther...the rinkydink panther...and it's as plain as your nose. That he's the one and only truly original panther pink panther from head to toe!

[rayssonation]

The NBC years ran from 1969 until 1978.

[sliderprimer]

Anybody have the Pink Beau Brummell short?

[DomenicDee]

Anybody remember the "Think Pink Panther" version?, like the late 70's probably. Haven't seen it up.

[acholl980]

@DomenicDee From 75. There was also "The Pink Panther Laff and a Half Hour and a Half Show from 76.

[chrystalblast]

Hey, what about the Inspector?!

[cmulwee001]

This was the first Pink Panther theme I ever heard. I never knew it wasn't the "real" theme until I was older. I only knew the "real" theme as background music.

This does take me back to my preschool days. Now if someone would just post the end credits to this series.

[4131025]

The key of the music is lowered o_0

[powerpuffkewpie]

great show, great tune

[rsuc]

PINK PANTHER HURRAH PINK PANTHER!! ive had this damn tune in my head all day i even shouted that particular line when i went out, yes i got strange looks! lol

[cntower01]

The Ant and the Aardvark.

The Inspector.

The Texas (or it it the Tijuana) Toads

MisterJaw (GOTCHA!!!) and Catfish

Crazylegs Crane.

[tsntana]

Always wondered where this music came from. I remember an instrumental variation was used for some of the shorts during syndication.

[ChristianKidsShowFan]

Anyone know who did the effects in this open? Some of it (particularly 0:04-0:06) looks vaguely similar to some of the work from 1970s Scanimation-production firm Dolphin Productions.

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@ChristianKidsShowFan My immediate thought was that effect looked like something from the Willy Wonka film which did use Scanimation, but not sure if this is definitely them.

[RetroToledo]

@IThinkYouLookLarvely It's certainly using that type of analog computer system there. The 1970's had a lot of that going on.

[cha5]

I grew up with this show, besides those classic Pink Panther cartoons and this intro, I always loved the little inbetween bits they had on this show with some narrator who I'm sure has been lost to history.

[cha5]

@cha5 Correction the naarrator was Marvin Miller.

[lunacano1973]

god'''

[muzic72]

O my god, that takes me back!!!, fantastic :o)

[wackyshemp]

Does anyone remember the shark Mr. Jaws and his little companion Catfish? Mr. Jaws had a bit of a German accent if I remember correctly. Also,what about the Texas Toads? I can remember these as being part of the Pink Panther show but have never heard or seen them since the 70's.

[foxvermont]

Texas Toads are on YouTube (and Hulu) under original name Tijuana Toads. You can find Misterjaw (Artie Johnson--of Laugh In--verrrrrrry interesting) too

[BigBlueBeast]

@wackyshemp Me neither. I thought someone may had a copy of it on youtube!

[adonayjaam777]

aqui en mexico no paso este intro cantado solo paso pero con la pura musica

esta bueno

[Tronko14]

Can anyone upload that Pink Panther episode with a woodworm or termite? Couldn´t stop laughing with that one...

[soylentteal]

Love it!! Does anyone have the short where Panther puts a coin in a vending machine and gets strawberry pop in his face? "Now wasn't that refreshing?"

[tommylad1231]

I have it on DVD. I'll see if i can upload it.

[CelesteK]

I still love it. Thank god for Teletoon Retro that's all I have to say.

I love all of the old cartoons. Now that I have TTR I don't have to sit around watching stuff that I don't think is funny.

[staregib]

I remember this show being on Agro's Cartoon Connection when I was a kid. Come to think of it, a lot of cartoons were on that show. Anyway, I barely remember it, but the Aardvark painting blue everywhere takes me back. XD

[BigBlueBeast]

I remember watching the Ant and the Aardwark on tv with the Pink Panther. But I never remember this opening. When did it come out?

[acholl980]

1972

[MrLogoman007]

This version blows! We want Mancini!

[c00ki3nikki]

i like the original better, the old version was a classic hit.

[theeddielang]

Probably the weakest of the three theme songs, but hey it's got the Aardvark, who beats the hell out of Crazylegs Crane...!

[midknightryder13]

True -- I always liked the Ant and the Aardvark -- kind of DPF's answer to Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. I truly do wish producers would learn -- 'new' is not always 'better'.

[JiS01]

whatta?? wheres the famous tune?? don't tell they REALLY made this crappy song!?

[trextrex65]

that good mor than ainme

[Mato1970]

I remember this intro. I watched the Ant and the Aardvark cartoons as an adult, and I have to ask, is it me, or does the Aardvark sound remarkably like Jackie Mason?

[foxvermont]

yes the intent was to have his sound like Mason, and the Ant--also voiced by John Byner--to sound a bit like Dean Martin.

[feckingbillgates]

Every cartoon in the 70s had to be reworked as "new" for some reason. The All New Popeye Show! The New Scooby Doo Show! It went on and on.

[macstar2002]

such a 70's sound!

[eduadp2006]

very good

[scorpio3738]

Love that Aardvark His cartoons are funny

[grassh0pper]

what the hell is this?

[StevenEllesmore]

Superb!

[icykid]

this song sucks ass wheres the slick music?

[greenlanternII]

Wow! This theme was great!

[marceldro]

All rigth pink panter!!!

[CCrockyourass]

Without the original theme this intro is fail.

[richintalent]

Was this the show that was 'hosted' by puppets? I remember one was a flamingo, and whenever he was about to go postal they would play 'Popcorn' by Hot Butter, and he'd say: "Excuse me, but I need to get a little scream of air..." He'd go off camera and scream and then come back on.

[acholl980]

That was in 73.

[samacal]

Actually it was 1971. It aired at 9:30 AM Eastern on NBC, going up against The Jackson Five on ABC and the Hair Bear Bunch on CBS.

[acholl980]

this is from '72

[JTPolo101]

Oh my God......this takes me wayyyyyyy back.

If I remember correctly (and I am pretty sure that I do *LOL*) Comic John Byner was the voice of the Blue Aardvark (an impression of Joey Bishop) and the ant he was always trying to catch (and impression of Dean Martin)

Thanks so much for bringing back some great Saturday morning memories

[sailorlunatic]

Actually, the John Byner's voice of the Aardvark was modeled after Jackie Mason, not Joey Bishop.

[Sweetbabyvixen]

Okay, can I declare my love for you now?! I remember this theme and was having the damnest time trying to find it here!

I am your new bitch, thanks so much for putting this up!!

[MADDOG6400]

Does anybody have the TV shows to this that are willing to upload them???? I'd appreciate it if somebody did!

[electricland]

WOW! I haven't seen this in so long. I remember all the lyrics too. This was a great Saturday morning show in 1971.

[chupuput]

Damn,i like this show! But i Think i like Aardvark better! I don't care if he's bad luck!he's Just Funny! :)

[Stertje1979]

what an wonderful remembranses!

[Pivorslayer]

what the hell was that

by his sis

[acholl980]

The title here was from the shows 2nd season when they debuted The Ant @ the Aardvark. The 1st featured The Inspector.

[34ryan01]

hello mutly are you from hanna barbra

[cmulwee001]

I totally remember this! THIS is how I first saw the Pink Panther Saturday mornings on NBC!

[setheriah]

thanks for posting this.. ive been looking for this

[setheriah]

this was the best of the pink panther themes... by far... how bout a pink panther cartoon with this theme in it as well as well as when the pink panther comes out at the end and it says the end

[kresblain]

I've seen the sub-main title on at least one cartoon and the closing on another. Can't recall which episode has it, but the intro was spotted recently on the short "An Ounce of Pink." The music can also be heard on a couple of dubbed tracks that spliced it in over the episode title. What's more interesting is the fact that they also retained the laugh tracks from the respective network series. Kinda cool seeing those cartoons in that format.

[foxvermont]

More Doug Goodwin music (prob him singing too)

[nnaw]

Doug Goodwin sang most of the DePatie-Freleng cartoon themes I believe except for Bailey's Comets which was sung by a group called Everything Under The Sun.

[dnm72863]

And Gary Lewis (of Gary Lewis and the Playboys) sang "The Super 6" theme.

[nnaw]

Yes, he did, I noticed that!!

[TServo2049]

Tell me, where do you get all these rare cartoons, from unfaded prints and perfectly transferred to video?
