A good theme - like the 'Pink Panther' or 'Baby Elephan

A good theme – like the ‘Pink Panther’ or ‘Baby Elephant Walk’ – can work all the way through the picture, which is what I did with them. So, for me, a good melody is not just a pretty tune.
Henry Mancini
‘Black Panther’ had a whole cast of beautiful black brilliance. Black scientists. Black presidents. The style. The technology. The color.
Shaun King
The cool thing is, I was a little nervous about how they were going to handle Black Panther in his own movie, but then when I saw ‘Civil War’ and just the perfect way they handled him in that movie, it made me even more excited about a Black Panther film.
Brian Stelfreeze
I don’t think there is really much from my career that I want to go back to. I think that, with most of the characters that I’ve been lucky enough to work with, I’ve said all I have to say about the Black Panther, Green Lantern, and on and on.
Christopher Priest
All I can tell you is ‘Black Panther’ sets up the MCU to go in a really wonderful new direction, sets up a new language, a new world for the MCU to play in, and that construction is then rocked to its core when Thanos enters in ‘Infinity War’ – get ready.
Winston Duke
It’s very difficult to be funny musically. I think I achieved It with ‘The Pink Panther.’
Henry Mancini
The ‘Black Panther’ series was never really about the Black Panther at all. The State Department guy, Everett K. Ross, was the series protagonist, so politics was simply a logical part of the character’s tool set.
Christopher Priest
But we did the Pink Panther not in Hollywood, in Italy.
Claudia Cardinale
We – America – have to move past the ideology, the tribalism, that grips this country. As ridiculous as this sounds, I believe ‘Black Panther,’ the film, could help us do that if it addresses issues of tribal polarization and, by extension, racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in an entertaining, non-preachy way.

Yes, we do defend our office as we do defend our homes. This is a constitutional right everybody has, and nothing’s funny about that. The only reason they get mad at the Black Panther Party when you do it is for the simple reason that we’re political.
Fred Hampton
Personally, I’ve always liked movies about big diamonds, like ‘Pink Panther’ and ‘The Thomas Crown Affair.’ I’ve always found those films really interesting, and they have a good energy about them, which I like.
James Bobin
As an Egyptian, I was glad to see the film ‘Black Panther’ embrace my country with its inclusion of the Ancient Egyptian goddess Bast as the deity of Wakandans. But considering the anti-black racism against the Nubian indigenous community and visitors in my country, I knew Egypt would not return the love.

Angela Rye
With ‘Black Panther,’ black artists were provided with the opportunity and agency to create art that captures the full range of their imaginative possibilities. It matters that Chadwick Boseman is the protagonist and is supported by a cast of nearly all black characters.
