I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

After getting a little too into his superhero comics one lazy afternoon, the Pink Panther decides to play at being one himself, only he goes one step further and takes it to the rooftops! Being his oblivious sweet panther self however, he proves to be more of a super-catastrophe than a hero, and because he's too physically weak to actually do any superhuman feats, he instantly and horribly botches his every attempt to help out a little old lady, who, after getting repeatedly crushed and having her home and car wrecked by the rescue attempts of the well-meaning but utterly clueless Panther, reveals her own super-heroic secret identity in a bizarre twist, only she's playing for keeps and uproots a telephone pole and chases our pink super-zero down the street! OK so here's something I love and something I hate. I hate the thrice-damned laugh track. I know that by the very nature and style and everything of how they were put together the Pink Panther cartoons are a little dry and bland, but that's no reason to patronise little kids and tell them when they're supposed to laugh, they're smart enough to figure it out for themselves, that s**t just feels plain awkward to hear and is nothing but a distraction.. I love the way that the Pink Panther shorts are already so odd and vague that they could try out virtually any scenario with the character that they wanted to and this short is no exception. A strength of this little series is that it's fun just to watch that silly panther in action, he's so cute and lovable and has a lot of distinct personality in how he moves around and is for all intents and purposes a mute, I particularly enjoy the adventures like this one, where he's trying to do good but is basically acting stupid and inadvertently being a walking disaster area! All in all it's a good short and I shall always dig that panther, he's such a ~cool~ cat! x

The Pink Panther cartoons are childhood favourites that mostly hold up. On the most part they're well animated, funny at least with some of the catchiest music of any cartoon series and a cool title character. Super Pink doesn't see Pinky or the series at their finest hour, and it is not quite super, but it does entertain and is a good cartoon overall. Pinky doesn't have the strongest of foils in the elderly lady, she has her moments like when she's flattened but the chemistry between them is a little lacking in wit and she to me wasn't particularly funny. But the worst thing was the laughter-track, which is distracting and unnecessary, I know the gags here are funny but I want to laugh at them in my own time and not when I feel I'm being forced to. The animation has a very elegant and careful style to it, and the music is as catchy as it ever has been(don't think I'm ever going to tire of the theme song). The gags are funny, there are a lot and they're simply set up but still make a good impact, elevating even further the somewhat routine but very interesting and entertaining scenario and helped by the crisp pacing. And I still love Pinky to bits, he has immense likability and has always been charismatic and cool too. Here the story plays to his strengths and even with his numerous mistakes he is still endearing and funny, and that's always been part of his appeal. Overall, not super but fun and entertaining and that's all you can ask for really. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Admit it… as a kid, you sometimes had trouble distinguishing fact from fiction. Even into adulthood the line is sometimes too blurry. That's the case for Pinky here. He's so inspired by a Super Guy comic that he just has to try and emulate him. The problem here is that his choice of "damsel in distress" isn't particularly impressed with his efforts. In almost all scenes featuring her, the elderly lady ends up being the butt of his woeful attempts to emulate his fictitious idol. (One exception: a muscular thug's gun goes off on him when he can't wrestle it away.) The very last scene, where she transforms into a caped fighter of her own and chases the stupefied feline with an uprooted traffic post, is a perfect example of how and why intentions are considered less important than results to anyone who is collateral damage in any act of misconduct.Luckily, if you can get past the speech component, the 1993 television version features a far more competent version of the crime-fighting panther.

Perched up in a tree, the Pink Panther is relaxing and reading a "Superguy" comic book. He imagines, as most of us males have at one time or another, of being a Superman-type guy.He finds a costume (and a phone booth) and now looks the part. The problem is acting the role! He tries various heroic deeds, always trying to save or help the same old lady....and the poor woman (and her automobile) takes a beating. I liked the joke early on in which he slid the flattened woman under her front door. Most of it was pretty good, with the usual fitting ending.This was an entertaining cartoon marred only by the insulting laugh track which is totally unnecessary in a cartoon (or anywhere, for that matter). I wound up turning the sound off the last few minutes.
