The greatest movie ever made..!

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Somehow the Pink Panther is taken back to the prehistoric times, where he helps the pointy-nosed caveman push a rock. When the task proves to be too difficult, the two devises different methods to transport the rock, from putting on wheels to pulling it with a vine. However, every attempt hilariously backfires, leaving you with some chuckles.Not a lot of gags or action in this one - just a lot of rock pushing. You might get impatient, wondering when those two would push that dang rock and where are they hoping to push it to. But, it's still a pretty entertaining cartoon short.Grade B-

Admittedly there's not much to add to what's been said already. Prehistoric Pink is a fun cartoon, though some of the gags are predictable and the whole Pinky and caveman dynamic is not much new to what has been before since and since with Pinky and his other adversaries. The gags do benefit from being very well-timed, and most of them are amusing if not hilarious, as well as vibrant pacing. The ending also is a very nice surprise, and one of the cartoon's most entertaining parts, and the story is a good. The animation is done in the minimal style that is characteristic of the Pink Panther cartoons but this style is done in a fluid and elegant way, very little of it is sparse or rushed-looking. The music is nothing to complain about either, anyone looking for the jazzy and infectious orchestral music that accompanies the action will not be disappointed, and the theme tune is still a classic. Pinky is as always smart, cool and effortlessly funny, he doesn't have the freshest of scenarios to work from but it serves him well still. The caveman greatly counterbalances Pinky and you do feel some sympathy for him. Overall, fun, clever stuff if predictable. Worth seeing definitely. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Seeing the Pink Panther in a loincloth in the opening seconds was the only scene I laughed out loud, but this was a very clever story.In a nutshell, we see how some of the great inventions of all time - like the wheel - were invited. I never knew the Pink Panther invented them. He was amazing. All of it started with he and the Little Tan Guy (not White, in this episode) trying to move a large rectangular block of rock. Slowly, the Panther thinks of more progressive ways to shape and move the rock and each time something backfires. Usually, it's the Little Man who gets physically abused for the chinks in these great inventions.In the end, the Panther sees the future of wheels and transportation and has second thoughts. Not a very funny cartoon, but a "smart" story.

This is a very good short, where the gags mostly revolve around the attempts of the Pink Panther and the little guy who regularly shows up in these shorts to move a very large rock. I have know idea why they're moving the rock. I suppose the answer to that is "Because it's there". I want to give some details in this comment, so there are spoilers here: This short opens with the Pink Panther and the little guy moving a very large rectangular rock when the Pink Panther has the idea that it would move faster and easier if it were round. Things move quickly-until they hit an incline, when they start moving much more quickly. The little guy winds up in the valley between two slopes. The astute observer no doubt realizes just how unfortunate this position is for him. A suggestion to any future cartoon characters finding themselves in similar circumstances-try moving laterally! Along the way, the two try using vines to pull the block along, using logs to roll a rectangular block along and putting wheels on an axle (this last results in a very "Flintstones" type of moment in one scene, which is very funny). While many of the gags are predictable, the timing on the gags is good enough for most of them to still be quite amusing.The ending gag is clever and a bit of a surprise initially. A nice touch. The short comes full circle, ending as it began-with the Pink Panther and the little guy trying to move a rock.This short is on the Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection and is well worth watching, as is the collection as a whole. Recommended.
