There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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

The Pink Panther is one of animation's most iconic characters. Pink Phink was the cartoon that introduced audiences to him, and to this today it is one of the best Pink Panther cartoons ever made. The animation is simple but the colours are very pretty and the backgrounds don't look cheap. The music is very catchy, the main theme sticks in your head and in an infectious way rather than an annoying way. The jazzy orchestration is equally good. As well as well-animated and scored, Pink Phink is very funny. The story like the animation is simple but never to the point that it is predictable or dull. The gags are very creative and entertaining, never feeling repetitive. True, you do get the basic idea of what to expect with the other gags from the first gag, but each gag is dealt with in a fresh way so that is in no way a bad thing. Pink Panther himself is very cool and proof that you can be funny without having to say anything.All in all, the introductory Pink Panther cartoon is still one of his best. 10/10 Bethany Cox

'The Pink Phink' is probably the best Pink Panther short. It is also the first one and it won on Oscar. In a building the pink panther sees a man paint everything blue. The pink panther liked pink more so he changes everything to that color. Where other Pink Panther movies become dull when it is the same joke over and over again this one stays funny until the end. The simple animation makes it even funnier.

This Academy Award-winning short was the first Pink Panther theatrical release (at least as a short subject) and is a winner on all counts. Hilarious, well animated, marvelous story and use of music-everything is wonderful. There wee other very good shorts in the series, but none of them even came close to equaling this first one. I've always felt sorry for the poor little guy in this cartoon! Most highly recommended.
