The Pink Panther at the gym
The Pink Panther cartoons are always interesting at least to watch, not all of them are great but most make for great entertainment. In The Pink is nice enough, but it doesn't see the Pink Panther at its best. The story is somewhat formulaic with a couple of spots that were lacking in energy, and not all the gags work. Some do, the boxing ball gag is the best of them and it is hugely amusing in its absurdity, others don't with the shadowboxing jokes forced and predictable(also a couple are obscure to the extent that even an adult might be at a risk at not getting them). The animation is detailed with some simple but very elegant-looking colours. The music is infectious in its upbeat jazziness and the theme tune for one so iconic has great staying power and doesn't annoy. While there are a couple of pacing lulls, In the Pink generally moves briskly and there are a lot of gags at least, though admittedly their effectiveness is a mixed bag. The little man is a funny and suitably bemused adversary, and Pinky is still charming and cool with great and wholly natural comic timing. All in all, not one of the Pink Panther's finest hours but nice to watch. 7/10 Bethany Cox
