Genre/Atmosphere - The Pink Panther

What is the tone?
The opening of "The Pink Panther" is a comedic and secretive tone. This is created through the music the "Pink Panther Theme" and the panthers actions, this adds an extra feeling to the opening, like someone is continually sneaking up on you, which is what Inspector Clouseau is doing to the "Pink Panther".  The comedic tone is shown several times throughout the film when Inspector Clouseau attempts to capture the diamond. For example, when Clouseau gets out of his little car and gets his foot stuck in the window,

Or his facial expression when his foot falls through the floor while putting out an ember....

He thinks he is being smart by stamping out the last flame....

But then his foot falls through the floor and ends up falling two stories.

Mood of the opening?

The mood of the opening is funny and comedic at the beginning, it made me laugh when he karate chopped the credits, when the "Pink Panther" did the tango with Inspector Clouseau the mood changed to sassy or almost seductive but in a humorous way, because the inspector doesn't want to dane  especially with an imaginary thing.

How is it created?

The comedic tone and mood are created by the actions performed by the inspector and the pink panther, these actions are neither sad, nor serious nor scary. These actions show everyday things, like listening to music, but because it is a cartoon Inspector Clouseau gets tangled in long music sheet and cannot free himself this is funny because it isn't possible in real-life.
