The ending is the best part
'The Pink Panther' "Sky Blue Pink" (1968)
Opening thoughts: All the previous years' batches for the Pink Panther series were very solid and well worth watching. All the years had a couple of disappointments, but also even more very good and more cartoons. 'Sky Blue Pink' is a decent if somewhat disappointing start for the 1968 output, which was also generally worth watching if also inconsistent, and as a cartoon it is decent if rather unexceptional and only slightly above average. It is worth seeing for particularly the ending, but there are far better representations of Pink in the series.
Bad things: 'Sky Blue Pink's' story is both routine and predictable and not as vibrantly paced as other Pink Panther cartoons. The gags are amusing at least but they never rise to more than that, the funniest it gets is the ending and The Little White Guy's priceless expression at the state of his wrecked house.
And while Pink is a charismatic character in his own right he has been much funnier and more likable before and since 'Sky Blue Pink'.
Good things: The Little White Guy makes more of an impression here, you do feel genuinely sorry for him and can relate to him, he is a good character and works well with Pink.
The best thing about 'Sky Blue Pink' is the ending, which is both funny and exciting, while the rest of the cartoon is decent but lacking the last two minutes really shine. The animation is simple, but clean, elegantly coloured and very nicely drawn. And the music is still catchy and infectious, no matter how many times you hear the theme tune or any of the scoring it never gets old.
Closing thoughts: Concluding, unexceptional but has a good ending and support character. So it's certainly worth watching but ranking The Pink Panther cartoons it's around the lower-middle end.
6/10.
