The Pink Panther surely didn't get his money's worth when he purchased a puny camel for his Egyptian treasure hunt. All the animal could do was resist helping the panther carry his luggage and act like a overly cute, but dumb dog.There are a couple of scenes that warrant a chuckle here and there, particular the parts where the Pink Panther gets frustrated with the misadventures headed his way. But, not a very exciting cartoon - just too concentrated on a useless camel and a treasure hunt that went particularly sour.Grade D

Apart from an abrupt ending(though it's also a funny one), Pink Sphinx is a winner all round and one of the better 1968 Pink Panther cartoons. It is vibrantly and crisply animated, as well as being effective in its simplicity. You can't go wrong either with the jazzy orchestral score and iconic theme tune. The gags are cleverly timed and hilarious throughout, as well as being one of the better 1968 Pink Panther cartoons Pink Sphinx also has to be one of the funniest. The story is exciting and adventurous, not as routine as some other Pink Panther cartoons certainly. Pinky is cool and likable with great comic timing and the little camel is both funny and adorable.All in all, a delightful Pink Panther cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This is a marginal short partially salvaged by an interesting ending. There will be mild spoilers in the portion which follows: The Pink Pather is looking for artifacts and/or jewels in Egypt. He goes to buy a camel, but has little money and has to settle for a small camel that behaves as if it were a dog. The old saying truly holds here-he got what he paid for, which wasn't much. In spots, it reminds me all too much of the horse in Pinto Pink and other shorts The little camel causes the Pink Panther no end of trouble and gets chased away more than once here. There are a couple of interesting gags involving water in one way or another, with the strange sight of a camel guzzling a canteen being the most unusual.The Pink Panther has a few experiences with explosives here and finally manages to get into a crypt-one with a warning of a curse on anyone who enters. He grabs a large gem and begins running, only to periodically change into things-a rat, a lizard, etc.Not the greatest short, but it's only six minutes long and it does have a few moments which make it worth watching. It's on the Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection, which is well worth getting.

The pink panther is in Egypt. He wants a camel but has not enough money for a good one so he ends up with one that acts like a dog. He has a map that says where a treasure is hidden and together with his strange camel he enters the desert.This short was funny enough to be entertained for a couple of minutes. Especially the camel acting like a dog gets some good laughs.
