Touches You

So much average

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

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

Man oh man this episode gets funnier every time I watch it and I love it how the Pink Panther keeps on painting the house pink while the guy was trying to paint the house blue, this episode is timeless and I consider it one of the best cartoon episodes ever made in television history! I love the moments where the Pink Panther pours pink paint in the man's gun and the man ended up shooting paint at the Pink Panther, it's no surprise that this episode won an academy award for the short subject and it was the first time the studio won an Oscar with its first cartoon release, WAY TO GO!!! While I consider the Pink Panther shorts from 1964-68 to be the Golden Years this episode is on par with the best shorts of the Golden Years, the 1969-72 was also a really good era for the Pink Panther shorts but not quite in the same league as the episodes from 1964-68, the 1974-76 Pink Panther were a hit and miss for me and the 1977-80 shorts was where they really hit rock bottom, many of the shorts from 1977-80 were mediocre at best and the music seemed to be too fast and the gags weren't as well timed.

The Pink Panther is cool as cool can be. And so funny and cute. In this cartoon he observes some little dude painting a house blue. Preferring Pink to Blue he goes about sabotaging the painter's work. Every where the painter paints in blue, the Panther paints in Pink. Sounds simple and not funny, but it's hilarious. The Pink Panther cannot be outsmarted, he's just always way ahead of the game and in the end he inevitably wins and claims the now pink house for himself.And why not? Though only 40 years old and not really as well established as the Looney Tunes cartoons The Pink Panther is surely one of THE classic animated characters.
