OllieSuave-007 The Pink Panther finds a magic lamp in the streets and it starts talking to him. Instead of the lamp granting wishes to the panther, it encourages the panther to become the genie himself. Then, the panther could have the powers to grant other people's wishes as long as they rub the lamp. However, nobody seemed to be interested in rubbing at the lamp, as it gets used it all sorts of purposes, from being used as a tea kettle to a hockey puck.It's just a lot of back and forth of lamp rejects to the panther trying to dodge obstacles while stuck in the lamp. Not many laughs here and not many action.Grade D+

ccthemovieman-1 A talking magic lamp?? Yes, and he's a funny guy. He says things like "zowie," "be the life of the party; amaze your friends, come on in!"The Pink Panther was just walking along minding his own business one day when he spotted the lamp on the ground. The lamp gives him this funny sales pitch (see above for part of it) and convinces him to be a "genie" inside the lamp. Then, he says, just wait for people to rub the lamp and you'll be in business!That turns out to be easier said-than-done. People don't know it's a magic lamp. How would they? Consequently, our PP has some disrespectful (and funny) things happen to the "lamp." Sometimes he comes out of it, dressed in genie garb, and then places the lamp out where some nice people (i.e. an old lady) will see it and take it. Most of the time, he just hops around inside of it and waits to see what happens. Each time, however, it's a disaster.I didn't find this hilarious as others have, but it was inventive and definitely fun to watch, especially the beginning.

Shawn Watson Pinky is out for a stroll when he comes across a talking lamp (why they call Genie Lamps 'lamps' is beyond my understanding as they are clearly old-fashioned kettles) that tries to sell him the pros of being a genie (the life and soul of the party and so on). Pinky falls for it and crams himself into the lamp (it's a kettle), eagerly awaiting his first wishmaker.But instead of being the life and soul of the party the lamp/kettle is kicked around, stomped on and thrown away by everyone it encounters, giving Pinky inside a rather rough ride. It's quite funny and I did feel sorry for Pinky. He only wants to entertain. And that he did, though by accident I think.

rbverhoef The pink panther encounters a talking lamp and he becomes the genie of that lamp. Inside the lamp it is not as good as he hoped for when the lamp is mistaken for a lot of other things. With a great number of big laughs, especially in the first half, this is a great short from the pink panther.
