Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Pink is the 45th episode of The Pink Panther Cartoon Series

Plot[]

The Pink Panther purchases a hilltop plot, building a house that by coincidence lies between an astronomical observatory and the moon. Pink and the astronomer soon engage in a battle with one another, with Pink defending himself against an intrusive telescope. Eventually the astronomer turns his telescope into a cannon, which backfires,ejecting the astronomer onto the moon. Pink is then seen charging visitors a token fee to view his former nemesis on the moon through his home telescope.

Trivia[]

  • Although the astronomer doesn't speak in actual words, it's presumed he's telling his superiors he's discovered a new world populated by gorgeous female beauties. This was a common plot theme in many early science fiction films as well as in TV shows such as Star Trek: The Original Series.
  • The episode’s name is a parody of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
