After getting a little too into his superhero comics one lazy afternoon, the Pink Panther decides to play at being one himself, only he goes one step further and takes it to the rooftops! Being his oblivious sweet panther self however, he proves to be more of a super-catastrophe than a hero, and because he's too physically weak to actually do any superhuman feats, he instantly and horribly botches his every attempt to help out a little old lady, who, after getting repeatedly crushed and having her home and car wrecked by the rescue attempts of the well-meaning but utterly clueless Panther, reveals her own super-heroic secret identity in a bizarre twist, only she's playing for keeps and uproots a telephone pole and chases our pink super-zero down the street! OK so here's something I love and something I hate. I hate the thrice-damned laugh track. I know that by the very nature and style and everything of how they were put together the Pink Panther cartoons are a little dry and bland, but that's no reason to patronise little kids and tell them when they're supposed to laugh, they're smart enough to figure it out for themselves, that s**t just feels plain awkward to hear and is nothing but a distraction.. I love the way that the Pink Panther shorts are already so odd and vague that they could try out virtually any scenario with the character that they wanted to and this short is no exception. A strength of this little series is that it's fun just to watch that silly panther in action, he's so cute and lovable and has a lot of distinct personality in how he moves around and is for all intents and purposes a mute, I particularly enjoy the adventures like this one, where he's trying to do good but is basically acting stupid and inadvertently being a walking disaster area! All in all it's a good short and I shall always dig that panther, he's such a ~cool~ cat! x

The Pink Panther decides to become a superhero after reading a superhero comic and wants to dun a costume and cape. He attempts to help an old lady on a number of occasions, from rescuing her from a falling piano to retrieving her cat from a tree. However, all attempts result in disastrous events or mishaps. Very funny scenes as a result, especially when we see the poor old lady's frustrated facial expressions. She is one tough woman to withstand all of the Pink Panther's bungles! Plenty of laughs and humor and lots of action as well. A very entertaining cartoon short.Grade A

The Pink Panther cartoons are childhood favourites that mostly hold up. On the most part they're well animated, funny at least with some of the catchiest music of any cartoon series and a cool title character. Super Pink doesn't see Pinky or the series at their finest hour, and it is not quite super, but it does entertain and is a good cartoon overall. Pinky doesn't have the strongest of foils in the elderly lady, she has her moments like when she's flattened but the chemistry between them is a little lacking in wit and she to me wasn't particularly funny. But the worst thing was the laughter-track, which is distracting and unnecessary, I know the gags here are funny but I want to laugh at them in my own time and not when I feel I'm being forced to. The animation has a very elegant and careful style to it, and the music is as catchy as it ever has been(don't think I'm ever going to tire of the theme song). The gags are funny, there are a lot and they're simply set up but still make a good impact, elevating even further the somewhat routine but very interesting and entertaining scenario and helped by the crisp pacing. And I still love Pinky to bits, he has immense likability and has always been charismatic and cool too. Here the story plays to his strengths and even with his numerous mistakes he is still endearing and funny, and that's always been part of his appeal. Overall, not super but fun and entertaining and that's all you can ask for really. 7/10 Bethany Cox

No, it's a large, anthropomorphic pink cat.The Pink Panther is sitting in hammock reading a super-hero comic-book and wishes to be one himself. He nicks a pink cape from a nearby washing-line ands sets about rescuing and helping people in need. Only he's really, really bad at it and would be better off not interfering with them at all as pain and suffering are about the only things he's good for.Some of the visual gags are funny and each bad situation as a fair amount of invention to it. It adds up to an above average cartoon and no matter what he does, Pinky is my hero.
