Excellent, a Must See

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The Pink Panther buys a puny little car, spray-paints it pink and goes for a joy ride. However, the car seemingly has a mind of its own and can kick and race like the speed of light as it pleases. As a result, while on the road, the car gets angry with the other motorists passing him and leaving a trail of dark exhaust, and tries to get even with them, including a drag racing granny! Pretty funny stuff here, and the Pink Panther surely didn't really get his moneys worth in this car. Pretty entertaining from start to finish, and you'll be left eager to know how the panther gets out of this predicament.Grade B+

The Pink Panther is one of my childhood favourites, and I do like a vast majority of his cartoons a lot. Pink Pistons is one of his better ones from 1966. It does run out of mileage at the end, with the ending being too predictable and abrupt. Everything else though is just great. The animation is very nicely done, simply designed but also elegantly so with colours that are very easy on the eye and look as though they were done with thought and care. The music from the incidental music to the theme tune is still as catchy and infectious as ever, succeeding in enhancing the gags and giving the cartoon a sense of life and energy while giving it time to breathe also. The gags and premise are among the funniest and most creative of the Pink Panther cartoons, they all make their mark and only the ending doesn't quite work. Pinky is cool and likable, and the Granny is hilarious and probably one of my favourite Pink Panther secondary characters.Overall, another great Pink Panther cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Just watched this vintage Pink Panther cartoon on YouTube as linked from the Saturday Morning Blog. In this one, the lead character goes to a used car lot. The first car he looks at, he checks the engine and suddenly it collapses! The next one, he checks its gadgets-of which one of them raises the seat the Panther sits on up high-and it seems to be a good fit for him so he buys it. It turns up the car has a mind of its own, however, as it coughs when his owner spray paints it pink or later on when it gets challenged to a drag race by an antique car granny...Directed by Friz Freleng protégé Hawley Pratt, this cartoon is quite inventively funny almost all the way through. It's just the ending that's a little predictable. Still, Pink Pistons is certainly worth a look.

I enjoyed this movie very much... an obvious comical parody of the famous "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" movie. However, I noticed an error in the color of the car in one scene --- after Pinky meets Granny and they race the first time, she turns on the "supersonic rockets" and roars off, leaving Pinky and his car covered with soot. A few seconds later, Pinky and his car zoom away after Granny, shaking off the soot and leaving it in a pile on the road. But then the car is next shown in its original BLUE color as it whizzes off down the windy road and disappears around the bend --- evidently somebody in the art department momentarily forgot that Pinky had re-painted the car pink.
