The Pink Panther

The Pink Panther is a fictional animated character who appeared in the opening and/or closing credit sequences of every film in the Pink Panther series except for A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau. In the storyline of the original film, the "Pink Panther" was the name of a valuable pink diamond named for a flaw that showed a "figure of a springing panther" when held up to the light in a certain way; in the credits this was translated to an animated pink panther.

The character's popularity spawned a spin-off franchise of theatrical shorts, television cartoons and merchandise. He starred in 124 short films, 10 TV shows and 4 TV specials. The character is closely associated with "The Pink Panther Theme", composed by Henry Mancini.

Appearances
The Pink Panther only appears in Spongebob Squarepants & Patrick FRY COOK GAMES Nickelodeon Plug N Plays, in which Patrick, after having lost his whole body except his head at the doctor while being treated for his poison ivy, decapitated the Pink Panther and used his body to beat SpongeBob at the Fry Cook Games. After SpongeBob was injured while attempting the Deep Sea Dive, Patrick claimed the trophy, only for his head to get knocked off the stolen body while celebrating his victory.
