Not a bad cartoon, but of the 1971 batch of Pink Panther cartoons seen so far- which is all but two- Psst Pink was the weakest. It is mainly let down by the story and the second half. The story is one that is both predictable and later on repetitive while the second half is very lacklustre, the best gag is only raise-a-smile worthy and the rest failed to really amuse. That the jokes in this half are not that inventive and could have done with crisper timing, the second half loses the energy that the first had add to the problem. The first half however is good, the gags here while not hilarious are entertaining and are visually well-animated. The action keeps things moving nicely. The animation keeps things simple but still has some good amount of detail instead of being too stark and it is elegant and colourful too. The theme tune is still wholly memorable and the music accompanying the action while keeping to the seductive-sounding and catchy jazz music of the 60s-70s still enhances things rather than distract. Pinky has not lost any of his likability or coolness, and the tyre matches him in energy and comes close to stealing the show. In conclusion, uneven but a small step above average, a case of one half being good and the other not so much. 6/10 Bethany Cox
