The Pink Blueprint is the 18th cartoon produced in the Pink Panther series.^[1] A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.

Plot

A frustrated building contractor (the "Little Man") battles with the Pink Panther over the design of a house being built. The original design has blue overtones and a more traditional "milk carton" shape; conversely, the panther's is futuristically rounded, sleek, and all pink. Several unsuccessful attempts are made at swapping the original house blueprint with the pink version. In conclusion, it appears that Pink Panther gets the outlandish house he wants, but it is really the boringly-designed house the contractor was going to build, with a fancy-looking pink "facade" (false-front wall) loosely tacked onto the front for disguise.^[2]
