Mystic Pink (1976) User Reviews

Reasonably fun though unexceptional

Is Mystic Pink worth seeing? Of course, every Pink Panther cartoon is worth seeing at least once(some more so than others). Is it great? To me, no it wasn't but it was a long way from bad either. There is no problem with the music, the theme tune is timeless and despite having been heard umpteen times it's still endearing while the music accompanying the action and story is slinky and doesn't feel at all repetitive or pedestrian, despite being essentially variations of the theme tune. Pinky is still cool and likable, his comic timing as amusing and subtle as usual, and the rabbit for one so big is quite cute. The second half mostly is better than the first, the gags are never hilarious and there are not that many but they are fun and serve the fun concept well, the ending is where the cartoon is at its funniest. The animation has been better before though, the Pink Panther cartoons all use a simple minimal style which is usually appealing but here it looks rather hurried and sparse with not much variety in shade and colour. The first half does take a little too much time to set up, which hurts the pacing a bit and the Little Man, usually a fun adversary and one we sometimes feel sympathy for has next to nothing to do here. All in all, reasonably fun but unexceptional. 6/10 Bethany Cox

. . . Oval Office Occupants often confuse MYSTIC PINK with a couple of other pictures from the 1900's. These geezers really cannot help it, since all the tangled neurons and chemical coatings cluttering up their brains makes it a challenge to remember such things as the day of the week or where the bathroom door is. Here's some tips to help them and other geriatric relics to distinguish MYSTIC PINK from those films with which it is most commonly conflated within minds turning to mush. First of all, this animated short has little in common with MYSTIC PIZZA, other than some of the words and letters in their respective titles. The latter film is a 1988 live-action romantic comedy-drama starring a much younger Julia Roberts than the one appearing in this fall's TICKET TO PARADISE. Secondly, though HARVEY also involves a six-foot, three-and-a-half-inch tall bunny rabbit, it's another live-action feature, released in 1950. Surely it would be good for America if MYSTIC PINK's magic top hat could materialize a leader with all of his marbles.

A random and forgettable Pink Panther short.

The Pink Panther for some reason has a house right on the land of the City Dump. With nothing to eat, the Pink Panther walks around hoping to find food, but instead, finds a magician's hat that was accidentally left behind by his speeding vehicle. The hat contains a over-sized bunny rabbit, who helps the panther create food, a membership card to a sauna and other stuff by magic.

Not much laughs in this one - just some random magical stuff that is supposed to help the Pink Panther better his life. It's odd that with all the homes the Pink Panther is shown living in the cartoons, he is shown living at a house on a city dump.

Not one of the better or laughable Pink Panther cartoons out there - just a very random and forgettable one.
