Pink Is a Many Splintered Thing

About This Movie

So, 'Pink Is a Many Splintered Thing' is quite the quirky little gem from 1968, bringing together the whimsical world of animation and a dash of comedy that really stands out. The Pink Panther, in his quest to become a lumberjack, faces off against an overly enthusiastic lumberjack and a rather chaotic swarm of bees. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged with its slapstick humor and clever visual gags. What’s particularly striking is the way they manage to convey so much personality and charm without any dialogue – it's all about the animation and timing. This one has a distinct feel of that late '60s animation style, with practical effects that have a certain charm that newer CGI just can't replicate.

This short has seen various releases over the years, but good luck finding a clean, original print. Many collectors appreciate its unique blend of comedy and animation, making it an interesting piece for those who enjoy the Pink Panther series. It’s not the hardest to come by, but pristine versions are becoming more sought after as the years go on.
