Tickled Pink (1968)
8/10
An example of a one-joke cartoon done well
19 September 2013
Fun stuff, if not among one of the best Pink Panther cartoons, and apart from having skates and has a more-of-the-same sort of premise. The animation is kept simple but has good detail and the colours are pretty. You don't expect the music to be any less than good, and it is good, in fact the music is great. It is jazzy and energetic and the theme tune still has its timeless value. There is nothing extraordinary or creative about the gags, that doesn't matter so much because they're still well-timed and funny. It's also very one-joke stuff but it's executed well. The accidental painting of the white lines and Pinky's escape from the train in the subway were agreed particularly good. The ending is funny too. Pinky is still of great likability, charm and coolness as a character, carrying the cartoon with no problems at all. All in all, very good and fun, one-joke cartoons don't always work but Tickled Pink did. 8/10 Bethany Cox
