DFE was founded by Warner Bros. Cartoons alumni, Friz Freleng and partner David H. DePatie after Warner Bros. left the animated cartoon business. Many of the animators who had worked at Warners in the 1950s and 1960s went with them, as well. Their first major production was the opening titles to the first Pink Panther film in 1963, which led to a series of cartoons inspired by the concurrently-running movie series. They won their only Oscar for The Pink Phink in 1964, receiving a further nomination for The Pink Blueprint in 1967.
