hyped garbage

Excellent, a Must See

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The set-up for The Pink Quarterback is somewhat routine and the middle does drag a little. The Pink Quarterback however still has a lot of entertainment to be had. There are some good gags throughout like with the quarter and the shoe, but the best part is indeed the ending which is inspired brilliance and funny isn't enough to describe it, it's hilarious more like. The animation is nice and simple, and looks pretty and elegant. The theme tune is a timeless classic, and the music in the cartoon is catchy, appropriately orchestrated(have always loved the jazziness of it) and action-enhancing. Pinky is still a cool and likable character with the comedy coming naturally to him. All in all, not one of the classics but very good and towards the better end of the spectrum in correlation to Pinky's cartoons. 8/10 Bethany Cox

The title makes you think this is a football story, but not so. It's the Pink Panther trying to get his quarter (25 cent-piece) back! Clever, eh? Maybe.Anyway, the cartoon is clever and excellent, a wild trip through the city streets of the big city. It all starts when the PP finds a quarter on the street. He's going to celebrate by buying himself a hot dog. However, on the other side of the street comes the aroma of a sizzling hamburger. That, too, only costs a quarter (is that all they cost in the late '60s?). Unable to decide, our boy flips a coin - that quarter - and if starts rolling everywhere with the Panther in hot pursuit. When I say "everywhere" I mean down lots of streets, subways, through apartment buildings, subways, you name it. Also, the people has has to battle for this quarter as he tries to capture it are wacky and very funny. This is excellent entertainment and one of the better Pink Panther shorts.

This is an okay short which starts out interestingly, gets a bit tedious towards the middle and finishes off with a bang. Without the marvelous ending, it would have sunk without a trace. As I intend to discuss some details, this is a spoiler warning: The Pink Panther finds a quarter and sets out to buy something to eat, but can't decide between a hot dog or a hamburger (easy choice, if you know what they put in most hot dogs). As he's deciding, the quarter slips away and he starts after it and so goes the one basic joke of the short-everything which happens ripples out from the chasing of a quarter, like the wake of a pebble tossed in a pond.Parts of this are funny, like the part where a bum sees the quarter roll into one shoe and out the other and join the chase. But a lot of this gets tedious and predictable.The ending of this takes what is, at best, an average short and raises it to the level of good. I won't spoil the ending here, but it is incredibly funny.This short is available on the Pink Panther Classic cartoon Collection and it's well worth a look. The Collection itself is worth getting if you're a fan of the Pink Panther. Recommended.

'The Pink Quarterback' is a nice and sometimes funny short starring the Pink Panther. He finds a quarter and with that money he can buy a hot dog or a hamburger. He can't make up his mind and before he has bought something he loses the quarter. Basically we see the panther chasing the quarter the entire time.Sometimes it is pretty funny, sometimes it is very predictable. The simple animation does work a couple of times here, especially in a sequence that involves trains. Although most of the Pink Panther shorts are pretty much the same this one feels a little different, probably because of the very funny ending.
