This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Blistering performances.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This is the first in a collection of Pink Panther cartoons, where the pointy nose man is painting a house entirely blue. However, the Pink Panther has something to say to that and slyly paints the colors over with pink paint. What results is a back and forth paint duel between man and panther.There is not much of a plot in this cartoon, just a lot of painting around. However, there are plenty of laughs and some slapstick comedy you will get out of this cartoon short. The animation look kind of dated, but unique, and there is, like almost all of the other Pink Panther cartoons, no dialog - just sound effects and a funny sounding music soundtrack.It's fun stuff for the entire family. Grade A

I have never sawed the short. Whenever I see the Pink Panther, my stomach will churn...but this is an instant classic.The animation is very simple. According to Bethany Cox, she says that the colors are pretty to look at. Pink Panther is very cool and a fun character. So I salute Pinky.The music is pretty catchy. If you want an animation studio where smooth animation and improved music has been started, you got the great DePatie-Freleng Productions. They produced other cartoons for your TV and your local cinema. Like 'The Inspector'.The short is very funny, according to Mrs. Cox. So I recommended the short.Like most Pink Panther cartoons, it has a VERY RARE laugh-track on international airings. The toons with canned laughter was a mixed bag, due to them being decent, and not pairing with Pinky's personality.GRADE: '100% A+++

There is certainly some irony to it that it needed an MGM movie to get Warner Bros cartoon filmmaking legend Friz Freleng his first and only Oscar. This 6.5-minute film was made 50 years ago and stars the Pink Panther and a little man who wants to paint everything blue. However, in the end, everything is pink and this does not only include the walls of the house, but the entire world including the human character. So yeah, some smart ideas included in here. I especially liked the one where they simultaneously painted the top/bottom of the wall blue/pink. A good watch, but no material here for anything over 7 minutes. Still some laughs and as always there is no dialog in here, but we hear the Pink Panther theme for the entire film. The animation is fairly simple, so this one relies more on wit in terms of story. And as a whole I think it delivers in this area. Recommended.

The amiable if somewhat limited cartoon character of "The Pink Panther" was introduced in the animated opening credits of Blake Edwards' 1964 classic caper comedy of the same name; in the film proper, it was the nickname taken by cat burglar David Niven but the eventual franchise revolved around the antics of his inept nemesis Inspector Clouseau (which would soon become Peter Sellers' signature role).In the concurrent cartoon series (which I used to watch as a kid on local TV and have subsequently acquired on DVD), the silent rosy feline took centre stage, albeit usually employed in more mundane occupations, like a house painter as in this very first instance – even if it was still pitted against a bungling, moustached albino who was Clouseau in all but name. The latter wants to paint the house in question blue and the protagonist, inevitably, wants it painted pink. The ensuing confrontation is certainly pleasant if hardly providing outstanding entertainment value, but it was enough for the short under review to cop an Academy Award.
