Trivia

 * The writers opted to watch a lot of DePatie–Freleng Enterprises' shorts to get to know how they would have the film working.
 * Unlike the previous films, this film is based on the iconic animated shorts produced by David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng rather than the live action films staring Inspector Clouseau in order give the movie its own identity. However, it also serves as a sequel to the original 1963-1983 live-action films, as the Lyttons return as the main antagonists to Pink.
 * At the end of the film, when the Lyttons and their henchmen are all arrested by the FBI, Mouseiur LeMoau reveals himself as Inspector Clouseau, who has faked his death (as descripted in the final original Pink Panther films) so he would retiring. The Lyttons' arrest was considered by film critic Doug Walker in his web series Nostalgia Critic as Clouseau's personal revenge at them for having framed him of being the Phantom at the end of the first Pink Panther film.
