Pink Panther

The Pink Panther is the title character of the Pink Panther franchise. Originally appearing in the opening and/or closing sequences of most of the Pink Panther films, his popularity led to an animated spin-off franchise and a Sillyman following in more recent years. In addition to the animated series, The Pink Panther has become a cultural icon, appearing in various merchandise and online memes. The iconic theme music composed by Henry Mancini has also become an inseparable and globally recognized part of the character's identity.
==Basic Information==
In the storyline of the original film series, the Pink Panther is the name of a prized pink diamond, named for a flaw that shows a "figure of a springing panther" when held up to the light in a certain way. This was translated into the animated Pink Panther which appeared in the opening and/or closing credits of most of the films (except for A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau (1968)). The popularity of his character subsequently spawned his own spin-off franchise. He has appeared in 124 short films, four TV series and four TV specials.
== Archetypes ==
=== Anthro ===
Self-Explanatory, he's a anthropomorphic panther.
=== Artsy ===
In many episodes of the animated series, The Pink Panther often demonstrates skills in painting, sculpting, and decorating (They're all related to pink, aren't they?). These artistic abilities are used to create humorous scenarios and sometimes to outsmart opponents or get out of difficult situations.
=== Chaoslord ===
Is often seen in episodes as a prankster, and the character most often targeted by him is Big Nose.
=== Huggable ===
Yes, definitely.
=== LGBTQ+ Coded ===
Although interested in women, he also does a lot of gay coded things in the show(s). For example in that one episode where he kissed Big Nose on the lips and had a romantic dance with Inspector Clouseau in that one scene of that one movie.
=== Nonspeaking ===
Like Mr. Bean, the Pink Panther rarely talks in his classic animated series. This character primarily relies on actions, facial expressions, and humorous situations to convey messages and create laughter.
=== Perpetual Smiler ===
He usually does a friendly smile.
=== Retro ===
The Pink Panther can be seen as closely associated with a "retro" style, especially in the context of the 1960s and 1970s, when the original animated series and films were released. The character's design, music, and animation style are all heavily influenced by that era.
