It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

The Pink Panther is a secret agent looking for enemy spies in this funny cartoon short, where a background voice narrates the story's every element and talks to the panther, guiding him on his secret mission to catch the crooks.The spies attempt to detonate a series of black-ball devices around the city and the panther tries to stop them, only to see himself hilariously being counterattacked by guns, crocodiles and cigarette bombs. Lots of slapstick comedy and moments that will make you laugh-out-loud.Grade A

Pinkfinger is perhaps not among Pink Panther's best, but it is still a good fun cartoon, which is what matters more. Phrases like "old boy" and "good show" in the narration are overused to annoyance, some of the character designs are lacking in smoothness and while amusing the alligator gag has been done before in cartoons many times so the outcome wasn't all that surprising. However, the colours and backgrounds are beautifully done and look very Fritz Freleng, it's simple but effective in that sense. Henry Mancini's main theme is iconic, you can still hear why and the rest of the music accompanying the action is just as catchy. Pinkfinger is more amusing than it is hilarious, but it still entertains. The cartoon's biggest laugh easily comes from the "blast him" gag, if there was one part that was hilarious it was this. The story fun, well-paced and different somewhat for the Pink Panther, nothing comes across as predictable or derivative. Pinky as ever is subtly cunning, and has considerable enough to carry the material. Paul Frees and Dave Barry's vocals are very nicely done. All in all, not Pinky at his best but still worth the viewing. 7/10 Bethany Cox

The Pink Panther reads a book called 'Secret Agent' and fancies himself as a bit of a Spy. Luckily for him an offscreen narrator informs him of a gaggle of Ruskie spies conspiring in a building a few yards away. Pinky now takes it upon himself to see what they're up to. Cue sight gags and mishaps as nothing Pinky seems to try works and he'll end up with his fur blown off or something. It's all funny and director Hawley Pratt and producer Friz Freleng use their Looney Tunes experience to bring a familiar sense of anarchy to some of the gags. But don't ask me to explain that last joke, coz I just don't get it.

Cartoons starring the Pink Panther do not belong to my favorites. They always have one or two funny moments but compared to the cartoons from Disney and Warner Brothers they are not good. 'Pinkfinger' is no exception, unfortunately, although it is a little different from other cartoons starring the Pink Panther.The Pink Panther is a secret agent and communicates with a person off-screen. With the help of that person he tries to catch some of the bad guys. Things do not go as planned, of course.All things that go wrong with the Pink Panther in this cartoon could be really funny but it gives us only one or two laughs. The first moments are pretty good as well, the ending saves this one a little. Still, not recommended.
