Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is like another one of those best-of compilations, but it's presented in a neat way. The pointy-nosed man finally let the Pink Panther get the best of him and has went to see a psychiatrist for help. There, we are shown clips from various Pink Panther cartoons, where he drives the man crazy. It's funny stuff, as it shows the Pink Panther getting the upper hand and you get to see some end-results from the pointy-nosed man's point of view. You get a few chuckles out of this one - not much. But, it's not a bad cartoon overall.Grade B-

Pinkologist is not all bad, the music is as catchy and energetic as ever(in the recycled material), both the classic theme tune and the incidental scoring, the Little Man is quite touching here, Pinky is predictably likable with good interplay between the two and it was nice to see Rock A Bye Pinky, The Pink Blueprint and Pink Posies used. The problem though is that nothing interesting is done with them, the story is just an excuse to string along together recycled material and add a plot-line that is high on predictability(especially the ending) and with a run-out-of-ideas feel. The three cartoons themselves are fine, they are actually funny and well-animated, unfortunately the animation in the non-recycled is flat in colour and comparatively simplistic in drawing while Pinkologist outside of the recycled material is almost humourless and drawn out and the music in the non-recycled material lacks their vibrant orchestration and rhythmic energy. In conclusion, Pinkologist is one of the two pointless Pink Panther cartoons, the other being 1971's Pink-In(the one misfire in the 1971 batch). If you've not seen the older recycled material prior to watching Pinkologist you will get some enjoyment but if you have then you'll find Pinkologist very little more than a completely unnecessary copy-and-paste-up. 4/10 Bethany Cox

A very worried short, pointy-nosed man goes to a psychiatrist. Beginning with his infantry and childhood, he finally gets to tell about a pink panther that turns up everywhere he goes and causes trouble. We see scenes from Rock-A-Bye Pinky (1966), The Pink Blueprint (1966) and Pink Posies (1967).Along with the earlier Pink-In (1971), this is a needless paste-up job with a predictable and silly punch line. It's sad to see animators, short on ideas, recycle old material. At least the old scenes are long enough to provide some enjoyment, at least if you haven't seen the original cartoons.
