Among the best of the later Pink Panther cartoons
21 November 2014
The Pink Panther cartoons are on the most part good entertainment, not always consistent(the 1969 and 1971 batch were pretty much so though with one exception), then again what cartoon series is? The cartoons after 1975 were hit and miss in quality, fortunately for Sprinkle Me Pink it is one of the hits. Apart from the odd scrappily animated background(especially the one 4 minutes into the cartoon), Sprinkle Me Pink is among the best of the later Pink Panther cartoons. Most of the animation is fine, the colours are very vibrant and colourful and Pinky and the cloud are very well-drawn. The music is terrific here, it bursts with energy while in places also reminiscent of the older Pink Panther cartoons, of all the post-1975 Pink Panther cartoons Sprinkle Me Pink is one of the better ones in terms of the music score adding so much to the action. The theme tune is still catchy and deserving of its classic status, no matter how many times I've heard it it's still not annoying. Sprinkle Me Pink is swiftly paced with the story while a little standard(again then again not unusual for a Pink Panther cartoon) always interesting and eventful. Sprinkle Me Pink is also one of the funniest later Pink Panther cartoons, the gags are all funny and feel fresh rather than repetitive. Pinky is immensely likable and cool, you also feel very sympathetic towards him in his increasing irritation, while the cloud has a great personality and matches him in comic timing, really loved the lengths it went through to continually get him wet. Overall, a great cartoon and one of the best and most entertaining later Pink Panther cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox
