Pink Paradise (1967)
7/10
My sympathies are largely with the dog
16 July 2006
This short (like most of the Pink Panther shorts) is primarily composed of sight gags, given a singular lack of dialog. The humor in this short most often arises from the interaction between the little man who is the frequent foil for the Pink Panther and his dog, rather than much that the star of the series does. The dog is placed in situations which end disastrously for the little man and it looks as though his dog caused bad things to happen, when in fact the dog has been expertly set up to look that way. Several repetitive sight gags later, typically violent and rather painful in appearance, and the dog has been made Canis Non Grata. The closing gag is cute, though repetitive.

Not the best short I've seen and not the worst-about average for the Pink Panther series. This short is available on the Pink Panther Cartoon Collection, along with all the other shorts in the series. Recommended.
