i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

The Pink Panther buys a puny little car, spray-paints it pink and goes for a joy ride. However, the car seemingly has a mind of its own and can kick and race like the speed of light as it pleases. As a result, while on the road, the car gets angry with the other motorists passing him and leaving a trail of dark exhaust, and tries to get even with them, including a drag racing granny! Pretty funny stuff here, and the Pink Panther surely didn't really get his moneys worth in this car. Pretty entertaining from start to finish, and you'll be left eager to know how the panther gets out of this predicament.Grade B+

Our pink hero is searching for used cars in a lot when he discovers a James Bond-type Aston Martin vehicle with all the gadgets. This little sports car intrigues and impresses him, so he buys it.As in other Pink Panther cartoons, an inanimate object turns to be human-like, so when our guy brings his new car back home and begins to spray paint the front of it pink, the car balks! It wants no part of this spray-paint job!The car - not the Panther - winds up in a drag race against an old lady, who turns out to be "Granny Flash: senior citizens drag champion."This was hilarious, thanks to Granny, and I hated to see it end so abruptly. They could have continued this for another full cartoon with the just race between the two cars.

I enjoyed this movie very much... an obvious comical parody of the famous "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" movie. However, I noticed an error in the color of the car in one scene --- after Pinky meets Granny and they race the first time, she turns on the "supersonic rockets" and roars off, leaving Pinky and his car covered with soot. A few seconds later, Pinky and his car zoom away after Granny, shaking off the soot and leaving it in a pile on the road. But then the car is next shown in its original BLUE color as it whizzes off down the windy road and disappears around the bend --- evidently somebody in the art department momentarily forgot that Pinky had re-painted the car pink.

The Pink Panther is nosing around a used-car lot and is contemplating buying a small bug car that looks like it would fit him perfectly. Only it's the wrong color. So he happily pays good money for it and takes it home to spray-paint. Once out on the streets with his new pink bug the car starts to give him hassle and is finally pushed over the edge when Pinky drag races an old granny.I'm not that impressed with this cartoon. Nothing much really happens and it's not really that hilarious despite few funny moments. It's mostly a one joke affair and doesn't really get good mileage out of it. Pun intended.
