(United Artists, 1963) Incredibly rare title artwork for the opening scene of Blake Edward's The Pink Panther. Although not an animated film itself, the opening title launched Friz Freleng's Pink Panther character into stardom, with a series of theatrical shorts and TV shows. This title, Once Upon A Time, appears at the beginning of the film, and is hand painted on a pane of glass by the Pacific Title Company. As the glass would usually be washed off and reused for other titles, this piece is extremely rare and represents not only a piece of the film, but also the beautiful lost art of title making that Pacific Title was known for. The artwork has been framed over a printed reproduction background of a scene from the film, and measures 23"x33". The condition is very good with minor wear and some scuffs to the glass of the frame.
