Calamity results when the Pink Panther wishes for a pair of roller-skates and is granted his wish by his fairy godmother. The "enchanted" skates take the Pink Panther on an uncontrollable junket through a city. He smashes repeatedly through huge windows being unloaded by moving men, knocks over a painter's ladder, tracks through the paint, and puts double lines on a road- and off the road- for cars to follow. He collides with a brick wall, and still the skates won't stop. Every attempt by the panther to remove the troublesome skates fails, until his fairy godmother returns to grant two more wishes. The panther wishes for the removal of the skates, then for the skates to be placed on the fairy godmother's feet, sending her on a similarly uncontrolled and disastrous journey.

The Pink Panther strolls by a park and sees children on roller skates. So, he gets the idea that he wants a pair of skates for his own as well. As luck would have it, the panther's fairy godmother appears out of the blue and grants him three wishes. His first wish is a pair of roller skates, which appears and, unfortunately attaches to his feet and automatically moves on its own. So, we have a runaway panther hilariously causing havoc in everywhere he runs into, from the City Park to the City Zoo. He also does a little traffic rerouting and some police dodging. Funny stuff here, not much of a story, but still pretty entertaining.Grade B

Fun stuff, if not among one of the best Pink Panther cartoons, and apart from having skates and has a more-of-the-same sort of premise. The animation is kept simple but has good detail and the colours are pretty. You don't expect the music to be any less than good, and it is good, in fact the music is great. It is jazzy and energetic and the theme tune still has its timeless value. There is nothing extraordinary or creative about the gags, that doesn't matter so much because they're still well-timed and funny. It's also very one-joke stuff but it's executed well. The accidental painting of the white lines and Pinky's escape from the train in the subway were agreed particularly good. The ending is funny too. Pinky is still of great likability, charm and coolness as a character, carrying the cartoon with no problems at all. All in all, very good and fun, one-joke cartoons don't always work but Tickled Pink did. 8/10 Bethany Cox

A Fast-Moving Cartoon.....Literally The Pink Panther idly watches kids go whizzing by on roller skates and thinks it looks like a fun thing to do. He shrugs his shoulders and walks away but instantly his "fairy godmother" appears and offers him three wishes. Basically, until the end, he gives him just one - his first wish which is, of course, some roller skates. Unfortunately for the Panther, these skates not only go off on their own but they're are fast and don't come off!So, what we get is one mishap after another as the Panther zooms around town, in the country and back in the city. Along the way we get some very good sight gags. I especially laughed at him accidentally painting the white lines in middle of the road, his escape from the subway train and the car assembly line.I know it's only a one-joke episode, but I thought that one joke was pretty darned good: clever in parts and very, very entertaining. That includes the ending in which we see the Panther's final two wishes, and justice prevails, big-time. Good stuff!

The pink panther runs into a fairy godmother and he can wish for three things. He wishes for skates but unfortunately for him he can't control them.This short from the pink panther is not very funny and it is all basically the same. What I did like was the ending, it is quite funny.
