Info

An English voice talks to the Pink Panther, who is reading a book about secret agents, and suggests to the panther that he become an agent. Intrigued at this idea, the Pink Panther dons a trench coat, hat, and pipe and walks nonchalantly on city streets, looking for enemy spies. He comes upon a gang of foreign agents scheming to detonate a series of black-ball bombs, and when they realize he is following them, they shoot him with guns, lure him into a crocodile trap, and, under cover of darkness aboard a train, replace his cigarette with a bomb.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
OllieSuave-007 The Pink Panther is a secret agent looking for enemy spies in this funny cartoon short, where a background voice narrates the story's every element and talks to the panther, guiding him on his secret mission to catch the crooks.The spies attempt to detonate a series of black-ball devices around the city and the panther tries to stop them, only to see himself hilariously being counterattacked by guns, crocodiles and cigarette bombs. Lots of slapstick comedy and moments that will make you laugh-out-loud.Grade A
TheLittleSongbird Pinkfinger is perhaps not among Pink Panther's best, but it is still a good fun cartoon, which is what matters more. Phrases like "old boy" and "good show" in the narration are overused to annoyance, some of the character designs are lacking in smoothness and while amusing the alligator gag has been done before in cartoons many times so the outcome wasn't all that surprising. However, the colours and backgrounds are beautifully done and look very Fritz Freleng, it's simple but effective in that sense. Henry Mancini's main theme is iconic, you can still hear why and the rest of the music accompanying the action is just as catchy. Pinkfinger is more amusing than it is hilarious, but it still entertains. The cartoon's biggest laugh easily comes from the "blast him" gag, if there was one part that was hilarious it was this. The story fun, well-paced and different somewhat for the Pink Panther, nothing comes across as predictable or derivative. Pinky as ever is subtly cunning, and has considerable enough to carry the material. Paul Frees and Dave Barry's vocals are very nicely done. All in all, not Pinky at his best but still worth the viewing. 7/10 Bethany Cox
ccthemovieman-1 The Panther is reading his "Secret Agent" and hearing a voice coming from somewhere, sort of a narrator and he's asking the PP if he'd like to be a hero, getting spies and all that. They are all over the place, just a stone's throw away, according to the voice. The Panther grabs a stone, throws it out his window and suddenly hears some angry Russian curse. So, he takes the voice's advice and goes outside to be a spy. The voice, with an annoying British accent, follows the Panther and instructs him on what to do. There are tons of "I say," "good show" and "old boy," etc. It sounds like David Niven back in the '50s and '60s. All I can say is "bring back the no-dialog Pink Panther cartoons; they are far better than this sort of thing. The dialog is not only not funny, but it detracts from the sight gags which made this cartoon so clever and popular.
rbverhoef Cartoons starring the Pink Panther do not belong to my favorites. They always have one or two funny moments but compared to the cartoons from Disney and Warner Brothers they are not good. 'Pinkfinger' is no exception, unfortunately, although it is a little different from other cartoons starring the Pink Panther.The Pink Panther is a secret agent and communicates with a person off-screen. With the help of that person he tries to catch some of the bad guys. Things do not go as planned, of course.All things that go wrong with the Pink Panther in this cartoon could be really funny but it gives us only one or two laughs. The first moments are pretty good as well, the ending saves this one a little. Still, not recommended.
