OllieSuave-007 This is not a bad Pink Panther cartoon - cleverly done with plenty of surprises, twists and fun. Here, he sneaks into the home of a magician after he steps out, and finds himself the brunt of magical tricks, courtesy of the magician's rabbit.From disappearing doors to crooked rooms, and from the rabbit changing in sizes to odd mirrors, it's a cartoon short that's chock full of tricks and treats. Too bad I didn't find it too funny, and it seemed the panther gets the brunt of all the misadventures.Not a bad Pink Panther, nonetheless.Grade B-
Shawn Watson Pinky is wandering a winter landscape when he happens upon Zammo the Magician's house. He sees through the window that Zammo is leaving for the day and has left his fire burning. Not content with being a mere peeping tom Pinky then indulges in some light breaking and entering in order to warm himself up but soon discovers that Zammo's house of tricks is out to get him.The humor is smart and Pinky's pratfalls entertain but it lacks any truly memorable moments. Writer Jim Ryan went on to script childhood favorite Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf before disappearing off the face of the Earth.
TheLittleSongbird Most of the Pink Panther cartoons are good but The Hand is Pinker than the Eye- what an inspired title!- is one of the best/great ones. The animation is some of the most colourful and most inventive of any Pink Panther cartoon, while it is wonderfully wacky the simple elegance is still maintained too. The music is still infectious and it has a jazzy nature that appeals even now and works/ed wonderfully within the era too. The story is one of the more original ones of the series, and has great wild pacing that doesn't feel rushed and matches the wackiness of the gags and visual style. The gags are clever and hilarious too, The Hand is Pinker than the Eye personally has always stood out as one of the more consistently funny Pinky Panther cartoons. Pinky as you'd expect is likable and is a cool character with comic timing that comes across as very natural. The scenario does well for him. In conclusion, wonderfully wild, colourful and hugely entertaining, one of the best from the Pink Panther. 10/10 Bethany Cox
ccthemovieman-1 This is REALLY wild, one of those cartoons you wonder if someone, especially back in the late '60s, wasn't on drugs when he came up with these bizarre visuals. Being someone who appreciates great visuals and funny effects, this cartoon stunned me in spots, it being so outrageous.We see a very well-drawn mansion and inside, apparently, dwells a magician. He leaves the house. The PP is outside with his earmuffs and freezing in the snow. That gives him the excuse and open up and window and jump into the man's house, to warm himself by the fireplace. That's when utterly crazy things begin to happen.We see things like (1) a fireplace disappearing; (2) a top hat following the Panther wherever he walks; (3) a mirror which shows people walking in opposite directions at the same time; (4) a television set in which the drama on the tube suddenly becomes real-life; (5) a dinner that walks away from the plate; (6) trap doors and rugs and floors that are there one minute; gone the next, etc. etc.And.....oh, yeah, there's a rabbit that keep appearing and kisses the Panther. It's all totally insane, like a Daffy Duck cartoon gone amok.
