Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The Pink Panther wants to travel to Anaheim and is over 1,000 miles away. He tries to hitchhike but no cars will stop. Then, he spots a horse grazing and thinks that it will be his transportation to the city. Afterward, the lazy, deplorable horse keeps resisting the panther and, on a number of occasions, knocks him silly off his hide.There are lots of slapstick humor moments and stuff, but the horse horse-laughing at the Pink Panther's expense gets rather old and annoying and you will wish you could knock him off his feet a couple of times. Too bad the panther gets the best of him in this one.Grade C-

Pinto Pink is not one of the gems from the Pink Panther cartoons, but at least it entertains which is more than good enough. The story is simple, not a problem as all the stories in Pinky's cartoons are, but also rather predictable and drags a tad in the middle. The falling down the cliff gag raises a smile, but has been done so many times in the Roadrunner cartoons that at the same time it is a kind of tiresome gag. The rest of the gags though are very clever and funny with good timing. The animation is elegant and colourful, with some very detailed and not too complicated drawing. The music sticks in your head for a long time and in a good way, the jazzy style suits it wonderfully and the theme tune is still worthy of its classic status. Pinky is a cool and likable character as always, with natural comic timing, but this is one of the few times where he is (slightly) overshadowed by his supporting character, here a very sly and quite hilarious horse, who gets its own way at the end.All in all, predictable but also colourful and entertaining. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I really laughed right near the beginning of this when the Pink Panther does a Claudette Colbert imitation. She had a famous scene with Clark Gable in "It Happened One Night" where she shows her legs in order to get a car to pick her and the hitchhiking Mr. Gable up. Unfortunately for the Panther, his legs weren't as good as hers and the ploy doesn't work. The Panther, for some unexplainable reason (few things are ever explained in these wild and wacky cartoons) is hitchhiking 1,250 miles to Anaheim, Ca.The PP spots a horse nearby (hence the title "Pinto") and gets the idea that he could ride the horse to California instead. The horse, however, has other ideas, doesn't cooperate in a number of humorous scenes, and mainly just gives our star a bunch of "horse laughs."This was funny, another solid Panther animated short that was clever, colorful and just plain enjoyable.

The Pink Panther is ambitious enough to attempt to hitchhike his way to Anaheim, California despite the fact that it's over 1500. The reason why he wants to go there is never explained and he's not having much luck finding sympathetic drivers willing to take him this massive distance.A nearby horse laughs at him, so Pinky has the brilliant idea of riding the horse all the way. But the horsey is having none of it and the rest of the cartoon is made up of Pinky's various attempts at mounting it. A thin excuse for some slight gags. One of them involves Pinky falling off a cliff and landing in a puff of smoke like Wile E. Coyote (director Hawley Pratt was involved in several RoadRunner cartoons). But the very end in which the horse gets the very last laugh makes up for the rest of the tedium.
