Production notes
This is a unique entry in the series in that it features extensive dialogue (albeit not by The Pink Panther).
Equally unusual for a Pink Panther cartoon, it is a somewhat serious satire on nationhood and warfare. Also unusual in that the dialogue is at one point censored (bleeped). A voiceover gets inside the heads of both the Pink Panther and his neighbor.
Actual film of tanks in action is used.
There is no resolution to the action - just the Devil popping up at the end and a chance for the audience to think a bit about the consequences of rash actions.
