The Pink Panther

I always wondered why they call it the Pink Panther and use the cartoon character in the previews, but hes never in the movie or anything. Why is it called when the Pink Panther Pink Panther is not in the movie?

The original Pink Panther film starred Peter Sellers in the 60s and 70s. Then they put the cartoon The Pink Panther.

First, the diamond is called the Pink Panther.
In addition, in the cartoon is a detective trying to catch the Pink Panther which is represented by Jacques in the movie Pink Panther.

The Pink Panther in the original film and movies with Steve Martin is a diamond with an image of pink panther in its center. The title sequence for the original film was the "Pink Panther" theme written by Henry Mancini and used a Pink Panther cartoon that had nothing to do with the movie in him. The title sequences of films gave birth to the cartoon television. But the name of Pink Panther, music and cartoon character are always associated with films on the Inspector Clouseau.
