Pink, Plunk, Plink (1966)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The Pink Panther was practicing the Pink Panther theme on his violin and attempts to perform with the symphony at the concert hall, only to be thrown out. However, he sneaks back in and interrupts the orchestra's rendition of Beethoven's Symphony Number Five with the panther theme, angering the pointy-nosed and short-tempered conductor.There are plenty of laugh-out-loud humor, from a violin bow going off like a shotgun to the panther switching the conductor's baton with a rocket. The panther's attempts to inject his theme into the music are hilarious and the conductor's reactions are just classic. There's even a special cameo at the end of the cartoon short. One of the funniest Pink Panther cartoons I've seen! Grade A

Pink, Plunk, Plink is really not really among the Pink Panther's best cartoons and did have potential to be much more. The previous reviewers have summed up Pink, Plunk, Plink very well, and this review is not going to add much to what has already been said. The story's set-up is nice if rather unoriginal, but it does come across as thin and routine. Much of the cartoon is Pinky and the conductor trying to outsmart one another, not much different from other Pink Panther cartoons actually, and it is one of those that has some funny moments but it's never hilarious and the fun is not consistent or sustained throughout really. The conductor I also found to be annoying. However, Pinky is still cool and fun, and still a strong character to carry his cartoons. The animation is crisp and clean and elegantly coloured, while the music is still catchy and upbeat, fitting with the antics wonderfully. The theme tune for one so iconic is also infectious. The ending is very cute and unlike other endings of the Pink Panther cartoons, and it was nice to catch a glimpse of Henry Mancini in the audience. All in all, fairly enjoyable but I've seen better. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Our boy is obviously trying to become a great violinist, as we see pages of instructions and lessons littered on his floor. After a few notes, we can tell he is anything but ready. Nonetheless, he packs his violin and heads out to a concert hall (which looks like Albert Hall in London), where he promptly gets booted out. Later, however, when the real concert starts, featuring Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, the Panther sneaks back inside and sets himself up in the orchestra! (What happened to the Security?)Most of the "story" is simply the Pink Panther playing different instruments and tormenting this temperamental conductor during the concert. You couldn't root for either party as the PP had no business there and the conductor was an idiot. Although certainly not boring, I found very little funny in this cartoon but the last minute was "cute" and one of the most unique endings in this series.

In this cartoon the Pink Panther is practising his own theme on a violin at home. He fancies himself as a bit of a professional musician and sneaks into a grand concert of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. His various attempts at hijacking the orchestra into playing The Pink Panther theme fall flat as the overzealous conductor goes crazy at him.The jokes mainly come from them outsmarting each other. Only some of them are imaginative but the rest is not that funny. A pretty average cartoon overall, I'm afraid. In the end, after his theme takes over, the only person in the audience is Henry Mancini. Who is obviously applauding.
