OllieSuave-007 The pointy nose man goes nature hiking and takes his camera with him, photographing all the sights. But the Pink Panther, mad that the man not only refused a park donation but kicked the donation box away with the panther in it, makes a concerted and hilarious effort of spoiling the man's photos. From staring in front of the camera to photobombing the picture, and from ruining his photos while being developed in the dark room to running him off a precipice, this cartoon short will generate plenty of laughs. The Pink Panther is a sly and clever animal and it was great seeing him cause chaos for the little man. *** spoiler ahead*** Too bad the panther doesn't get the last laugh though, as he gets the fiery end of the camera when posing as a movie star. ***spoiler ends*** Still, a funny cartoon nonetheless.Grade B+
Atreyu_II "Smile Pretty, Say Pink" is a typical Pink Panther's classic cartoon with all the ingredients which makes these cartoons terrific: very entertaining, great fun and classic humor. Besides, the designs and backgrounds are simple, but quite good and the comical music is typically Pink Panther.The story, as usual, is very funny: after a naturalist (who happens to be a cheapskate) kicks the Pink Panther's donation box, the revenge of the Pink Panther is synonym of hilarious moments to makes us laugh and laugh...Whenever the naturalist tries to take a picture, the Pink Panther appears secretly in the picture, but the little man doesn't notice this. Pinky does this so many times that drives the little guy crazy.It's also funny how, by commanding a wooden bridge, the Pink Panther makes the naturalist always go to the wrong way and then sends him to the river.But the most hilarious part of this short is when the Pink Panther swallows the flashbulbs from the little dude, thinking they were eggs. The effect is bombastic: Pinky lights up whenever he hiccups, scaring everything away and ruining (once again) the naturalist's pictures. Brother, that is hysterical! The ending is funny, but my least favorite part of this short.Overall, one of the funniest Pink Panther's cartoons and one of my personal favorites.
ccthemovieman-1 There is justice at the end of this story. After sadistically tormenting our "Little White Man" at Pinkstone National Park, the Panther gets his due in the end.All the poor little guy wanted to do was take some good nature pictures at the big park, but the Panther, angry because the guy wouldn't put an extra dollar "camera fee" in the donation box, ruins the cameraman's pictures.He does so my fiddling with the man's old-fashioned camera, the kind they used over a hundred years ago. That part was fair-at-best. Suddenly the photographer has a more modern, 35mm-type camera and the PP's tricks get clever. His nastiness, however, comes back to haunt him with a funny flashbulb scene when he mistakes the bulbs for eggs.Nonetheless, the Pink Panther goes back on the attack. I enjoyed the third part the best when the guy now has a Polaroid camera and what he sees seconds after he shoots pictures is not quite the same!!In the end, the guy brings out his movie cameras and our egotistic hero gets re-paid for what he had previously done to the park visitor. Overall, lots of jokes in here and a very entertaining episode.
fredseaborne In reply to the previous commenter who wondered why the Pink Panther swallowed the photographer's flashbulbs... no, Pinky didn't think the flashbulbs were marshmallows --- he thought they were EGGS, because the flashbulbs were round and white, and they were sitting neatly in their compartmented box, just like eggs in an egg-carton. If you go back and look at that scene carefully, you'll see that Pinky thinks of an egg (a bird's nest with an egg in it and the words "GRADE 'A'" momentarily appear in a "thought bubble" in front of him) as he's happily looking at the tray of flashbulbs that is sitting right there on the photographer's picnic blanket among the other eating utensils and the salt and pepper shakers, all of which are right next to a picnic basket. And so (even though the tray that the flashbulbs were in only had ten compartments instead of the usual twelve that a regular egg-carton would have) Pinky assumed that the flashbulbs were edible eggs, since they were situated with other food-related items.P.S. One mistake I noticed about the revolving bridge scene --- the last time that Pinky rotates the bridge, he only turns it around halfway, and stops the bridge so that it's pointing parallel to the stream, causing the photographer's car to plunge off the end of the bridge and into the water. But the car comes out of the wrong end of the bridge that time --- since Pinky rotated the bridge clockwise, the car should have come out of the RIGHT end of the bridge, not the left end.
