The Pink Panther. Ep-019. Pink, plunk, plink. 1966 TV Series. Animation. Comedy

The Pink Panther learns to play the violin and interrupts an orchestra's performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in the Hollywood Bowl with "The Pink Panther Theme" played on various instruments, much to the anger of the conductor (the Little Man). Ultimately, after a series of interruptions involving instruments such as a tuba and a trumpet, the Panther disposes of the conductor with a firework baton that launches him into the sky and then explodes. The Pink Panther then leads the orchestra in a jazzy rendition of "The Pink Panther Theme". To his surprise, the only one in the audience is an applauding Henry Mancini (who makes a brief live action cameo as himself).
