TheLittleSongbird Maybe the ending is a tad predictable, but because it was also funny it is easy to overlook. Smile Pretty, Say Pink to me is one of The Pink Panther funniest cartoons. The premise is a very simple set-up and much of the humour revolves around Pinky and his foil(the cameraman this time around) outsmarting one another, but when the humour is good the simplicity and routineness(somewhat) works. And it certainly worked in Smile Pretty, Say Pink, there are a lot of gags here and they all worked, the best being Pinky lighting up every time he hiccoughs. Pinky is still the cool and likable character as he always is, and the scenario doesn't undermine him in any way. The cameraman is a good foil, working very well with Pinky, and the outsmarting between the two is funny to watch. The animation is elegant and well drawn, not too busy, not simplistic and not too sparse, it is just right. The music, from the incidental music to the iconic theme tune, are as energetic and infectious as they can be. Overall, so much fun and one of my personal favourites from The Pink Panther. 10/10 Bethany Cox

ccthemovieman-1 There is justice at the end of this story. After sadistically tormenting our "Little White Man" at Pinkstone National Park, the Panther gets his due in the end.All the poor little guy wanted to do was take some good nature pictures at the big park, but the Panther, angry because the guy wouldn't put an extra dollar "camera fee" in the donation box, ruins the cameraman's pictures.He does so my fiddling with the man's old-fashioned camera, the kind they used over a hundred years ago. That part was fair-at-best. Suddenly the photographer has a more modern, 35mm-type camera and the PP's tricks get clever. His nastiness, however, comes back to haunt him with a funny flashbulb scene when he mistakes the bulbs for eggs.Nonetheless, the Pink Panther goes back on the attack. I enjoyed the third part the best when the guy now has a Polaroid camera and what he sees seconds after he shoots pictures is not quite the same!!In the end, the guy brings out his movie cameras and our egotistic hero gets re-paid for what he had previously done to the park visitor. Overall, lots of jokes in here and a very entertaining episode.

fredseaborne In reply to the previous commenter who wondered why the Pink Panther swallowed the photographer's flashbulbs... no, Pinky didn't think the flashbulbs were marshmallows --- he thought they were EGGS, because the flashbulbs were round and white, and they were sitting neatly in their compartmented box, just like eggs in an egg-carton. If you go back and look at that scene carefully, you'll see that Pinky thinks of an egg (a bird's nest with an egg in it and the words "GRADE 'A'" momentarily appear in a "thought bubble" in front of him) as he's happily looking at the tray of flashbulbs that is sitting right there on the photographer's picnic blanket among the other eating utensils and the salt and pepper shakers, all of which are right next to a picnic basket. And so (even though the tray that the flashbulbs were in only had ten compartments instead of the usual twelve that a regular egg-carton would have) Pinky assumed that the flashbulbs were edible eggs, since they were situated with other food-related items.P.S. One mistake I noticed about the revolving bridge scene --- the last time that Pinky rotates the bridge, he only turns it around halfway, and stops the bridge so that it's pointing parallel to the stream, causing the photographer's car to plunge off the end of the bridge and into the water. But the car comes out of the wrong end of the bridge that time --- since Pinky rotated the bridge clockwise, the car should have come out of the RIGHT end of the bridge, not the left end.

Shawn Watson A photographer goes to Pinkstone National Park to take pictures of pretty scenery. But when he fails to donate any amount of money to the donations box at the entrance, the Pink Panther feels obliged to make his trip hell.Again it's a thin set-up for pranks and games of outsmarting each other, but Pinky does play enough clever tricks (like the one with the revolving bridge) on the photographer to make it worthwhile. The ending is predictable and some of it is uninspired but it's overall an above average Pink Panther cartoon. I still don't understand why Pinky swallowed that box full of flash bulbs. Did he think they were marshmallows or something?
