"Pink Ice" is the ninth cartoon produced in the "Pink Panther" series. A total of 124 6-minute cartoons were produced between 1964 and 1980.

Plot

The Pink Panther owns a diamond mine in South Africa and manages to unearth a large stone. Though he has safely locked the diamond away, a crooked pair of rival miners operating the neighboring mine steal the panther's discovery. The two miners then try to dispose of the Pink Panther, but fail miserably. [Beck, Jerry. (2006) "Pink Panther: The Ultimate Guide to the Coolest Cat in Town!"; DK ADULT, ISBN 0756610338]

The panther speaks

"Pink Ice" is one of two "Pink Panther" cartoon shorts in which the feline is given dialogue. Whereas the panther had a single line of dialogue in "Sink Pink", he is given extensive dialogue in "Pink Ice". Friz Freleng soon realized that the feline was more appealing as a sophisticated mute, and discontinued the talking panther for the remainder of the series. The panther has a British accent. His voice sometimes starts out a little soft but gets a little deeper the more he talks.

The voice was supplied by impressionist Rich Little impersonating English actor David Niven. Niven's sophisticated vocal style was chosen for the Pink Panther, as he portrayed diamond thief Sir Charles Lytton (aka, the Phantom) in the original "Pink Panther" film with Peter Sellers. [" [http://dfe.goldenagecartoons.com/ DePatie-Freleng website] "]

The Panther speaks these lines:
*"Gophers?"
*"By any chance, have you seen any gophers with diamonds in?"
*"They just could be trying to hide something."
*"And this is quite cricket."
*"Can you imagine those fellows leaving things like this lying around?"
*"My what a beauty!"
*"It's a good thing I carry a small shovel with me just for these sort of emergencies."
*"They say a rolling stone gathers no moss. We wouldn't want a beautiful stone like this to gather moss, would we?"
