This one is number 4 in the list of The Pink Panther's cartoons. This is definitely one of my favorites. So simple, yet so enjoyable. This one can make anyone give some good laughters.This is original, creative, hilarious and has lots of imagination too. In this story, our friend feline deals with a thief who wants to crack a safe. Unfortunately for the thief, whenever he tries to do anything to the safe, his attempts always turn against him, thanks to Pinky (who's hidden inside the safe). Pinky makes the thief's life miserable, causing him to fall off the window, returning explosives to the thief (which always explode on the thief)...There are many good gags in this. Even the ending is absolutely hilarious.What makes the cartoon even funnier is that, most of the time, the thief doesn't even know that the Pink Panther is inside the safe and, as such, doesn't understand what's happening to him.

In 1965, this short was released. The picture features the music from Shot in the Dark and was done wonderful by William Lava as well. In the film, the Pink Panther tries to sleep in the safe. However, an would be thief tries to rob the safe. No matter what the thief does, the panther always finds a way to have the thief fail. Eventually, the thief uses his head to carry the safe like an balloon but, the panther pops the balloon and dropped it on the thief. Next, the panther tricks the bandit into taking an exploding safe. Which at first the thief thought was an bomb but then thought it had money and reclaim the safe. I highly recommend the picture for the ending and the gags between the thief and the panther. It's was available on DVD so, if you can find the DVD, watch it and you'll enjoy it as well.An 9 out of 10

These first Pink Panther cartoons all had the same thing: the panther driving someone nuts! In this case, it's a second-story burglar. Just inside the window is a safe and the little man is there to crack it. Unfortunately, the Pink Panther is inside. Why? We have no clue, but the fact is that he's there and he drives the totally befuddled thief insane by constantly changing locks, opening the top door and pushing him back out the window, etc.For all but the last 50 seconds of the cartoon, the burglar doesn't know the Panther is inside the safe. When he discovers, some really strange scenes occur. It's amazing how many gags they produce in less than a minute!

One of the strongest of the Pink Panther shorts, this succeeds by a series of gags on the same theme: a safe cracker attempting to break into a safe inside of which is the Pink Panther -- the panther itself, of course.It also is strengthened by not having the two problems of many of the Depatie-Freleng cartoons. It does not have actively ugly backgrounding -- the backgrounding, instead, is nondescript -- and it does not have a laugh track, so you can enjoy it on your own terms.What it does have is the Pink Panther, a character with little personality, That is a weakness of all of the series. A comedian without a personality may do funny things and make you laugh, but he is also replaceable by any other comedian. It is odd that the old pros who did these cartoons seem to have forgotten that, but there you have it.
