Pink Pull

About This Movie

So, 'Pink Pull' from 1979 is a neat little gem in the Pink Panther animation series. The atmosphere is light and playful, typical of the franchise, but this short really shines with its clever use of a magnet as the focal point. It’s a simple premise, yet the pacing keeps it engaging, letting you enjoy the antics of the Pink Panther as he navigates the pitfalls of urban life to retrieve a lost coin. The practical effects, particularly how they animate the magnet’s pull, adds a whimsical touch that makes it distinctive. Can't help but appreciate how it showcases the charm of hand-drawn animation in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh for its time.

This short film has seen limited releases over the years, mainly on VHS and a couple of DVD compilations, which adds a layer of scarcity for collectors. The interest surrounding it seems to fluctuate, given its status among the Pink Panther series, with some collectors keen on acquiring any piece of the franchise. If you stumble upon a clean copy, it might be worth snagging, as the nostalgia factor for animation enthusiasts could drive demand unexpectedly.
