Production Notes
The musical score for Extinct Pink is composed of the jazz compositions used in The Ant and the Aardvark series.
After the completion of Extinct Pink, production on new Pink Panther shorts went on hiatus for approximately two years. When the theatrical Pink Panther shorts found a new home on NBC-TV on Saturday mornings as The Pink Panther Show in 1969, David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng opted to focus on other series for the successful television show. New series like Tijuana Toads, The Ant and the Aardvark and Roland and Rattfink began production at this time. Extinct Pink was re-released in 1978 with the feature film Revenge of the Pink Panther.
The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV in the U.S. When MGM released all 124 Pink Panther cartoons on DVD in 2006, the theatrical versions were, for the most part, utilized. However, several television prints made their way onto the DVD set, Extinct Pink being one of them. As a result, the laugh-tracked version is currently available.
