Sky Blue Pink is the 37th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.

Plot

The Pink Panther decides to construct and fly a kite, and a dog promptly jumps right through it. The panther rebuilds his kite and attempts to fly it, and begins to make life a living hell for a nearby homeowner (the Little Man). Capping an increasingly destructive series of accidents, the panther's kite tracks through the Little Man's barbecue and catches fire. It lands on the man's house and the house goes up in flames. Within seconds, the house is reduced to smoldering rubble. The Little Man goes ballistic and declares war on the Pink Panther by flying a biplane Red Baron-style in a vengeful attempt to shoot down the Pink Panther, who is soaring through the air in his new, wing-sized kite.

Production notes

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 TV channel.

The final few seconds of Sky Blue Pink (when the Panther shrugs his shoulders) features a William Lava music score from Pinkfinger.
