The Pink Panther decides to become a superhero after reading a superhero comic and wants to dun a costume and cape. He attempts to help an old lady on a number of occasions, from rescuing her from a falling piano to retrieving her cat from a tree. However, all attempts result in disastrous events or mishaps. Very funny scenes as a result, especially when we see the poor old lady's frustrated facial expressions. She is one tough woman to withstand all of the Pink Panther's bungles! Plenty of laughs and humor and lots of action as well. A very entertaining cartoon short.Grade A

The Pink Panther cartoons are childhood favourites that mostly hold up. On the most part they're well animated, funny at least with some of the catchiest music of any cartoon series and a cool title character. Super Pink doesn't see Pinky or the series at their finest hour, and it is not quite super, but it does entertain and is a good cartoon overall. Pinky doesn't have the strongest of foils in the elderly lady, she has her moments like when she's flattened but the chemistry between them is a little lacking in wit and she to me wasn't particularly funny. But the worst thing was the laughter-track, which is distracting and unnecessary, I know the gags here are funny but I want to laugh at them in my own time and not when I feel I'm being forced to. The animation has a very elegant and careful style to it, and the music is as catchy as it ever has been(don't think I'm ever going to tire of the theme song). The gags are funny, there are a lot and they're simply set up but still make a good impact, elevating even further the somewhat routine but very interesting and entertaining scenario and helped by the crisp pacing. And I still love Pinky to bits, he has immense likability and has always been charismatic and cool too. Here the story plays to his strengths and even with his numerous mistakes he is still endearing and funny, and that's always been part of his appeal. Overall, not super but fun and entertaining and that's all you can ask for really. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Admit it… as a kid, you sometimes had trouble distinguishing fact from fiction. Even into adulthood the line is sometimes too blurry. That's the case for Pinky here. He's so inspired by a Super Guy comic that he just has to try and emulate him. The problem here is that his choice of "damsel in distress" isn't particularly impressed with his efforts. In almost all scenes featuring her, the elderly lady ends up being the butt of his woeful attempts to emulate his fictitious idol. (One exception: a muscular thug's gun goes off on him when he can't wrestle it away.) The very last scene, where she transforms into a caped fighter of her own and chases the stupefied feline with an uprooted traffic post, is a perfect example of how and why intentions are considered less important than results to anyone who is collateral damage in any act of misconduct.Luckily, if you can get past the speech component, the 1993 television version features a far more competent version of the crime-fighting panther.

No, it's a large, anthropomorphic pink cat.The Pink Panther is sitting in hammock reading a super-hero comic-book and wishes to be one himself. He nicks a pink cape from a nearby washing-line ands sets about rescuing and helping people in need. Only he's really, really bad at it and would be better off not interfering with them at all as pain and suffering are about the only things he's good for.Some of the visual gags are funny and each bad situation as a fair amount of invention to it. It adds up to an above average cartoon and no matter what he does, Pinky is my hero.
