Trailer Synopsis Cast

A short, pointy-nosed safecracker intends to rob a safe in a building, but he doesn't realize that the safe is occupied by the Pink Panther, who has made the safe his home. When the safecracker tries to blast the safe open with explosives, the Pink Panther returns each of the thief's devices just before they explode, with the thief taking all of the blasts. Finally, the Pink Panther decides to let the persistent, little man have the safe, which the panther has rigged with a bomb.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

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

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is a great, slick Pink Panther cartoon - one of his earlier ones - where he outsmarts a bumbling robber who wants to take away the panther's safe in his apartment.From constantly having the safe fall on him from being blown away by a bomb, the robber hilariously falls for the panther's slick tricks.There's no dialog or laugh track in this short, and the music score is perfect - classic Pink Panther that what makes these earlier cartoons funny, exciting and full of substance.Overall, great little cartoon. Wished all robbers could be outsmarted like this.Grade A

There is much to love about the Pink Panther cartoons. He is a very iconic and likable character, and his cartoons make for at least amusing viewing. If you love Pink Panther, you'll love Dial "P" for Pink. The story isn't much of a surprise but at least it's never dull. And it helps that the gags are so great, all of them especially the ending range from funny to hilarious. The animation is simply designed, especially the background art, without being too simplistic. The colours are very nicely done. The music is the epitome of cool and catchy, the main theme is the most memorable and irresistible themes. Pinky still is a very likable character, while his foil matches him very well.Overall, great and any Pink Panther fans will enjoy it. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This one is number 4 in the list of The Pink Panther's cartoons. This is definitely one of my favorites. So simple, yet so enjoyable. This one can make anyone give some good laughters.This is original, creative, hilarious and has lots of imagination too. In this story, our friend feline deals with a thief who wants to crack a safe. Unfortunately for the thief, whenever he tries to do anything to the safe, his attempts always turn against him, thanks to Pinky (who's hidden inside the safe). Pinky makes the thief's life miserable, causing him to fall off the window, returning explosives to the thief (which always explode on the thief)...There are many good gags in this. Even the ending is absolutely hilarious.What makes the cartoon even funnier is that, most of the time, the thief doesn't even know that the Pink Panther is inside the safe and, as such, doesn't understand what's happening to him.

Probably still looking for a place to get some sleep, the Pink Panther has strangely chose a safe in a random building to catch some Zs. But some burglar dude turns up with the intention of breaking in. Old Pinky has fun changing locks and tormenting him, as usual. The little burglar dude can hardly believe his eyes when he finally sees whats inside, but the hijinks don't end there. Cleverly, Pinky convinces the burglar to take away the safe even though he suspects a bomb is inside.There are plenty laughs to be had in this cartoon and by this point Pinky's cleverness was beginning to match even that of Bugs Bunny. The Pink Panther is a great character and I love him.
