Such a frustrating disappointment
Just perfect...
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

View MoreThe Pink Panther sees a construction worker wanted sign and decides to joins a crew of pointy-nosed men working at a building site. There, the Pink Panther's inexperience inadvertently leads to a series of disasters and mishaps at the expense of the men, which were honestly quite funny and entertaining. You will get laughs out of the slapstick humor and gags the pointy-nosed men fall victim to the oblivious Pink Panther's work.You get to see the Pink Panther's classic sly and outwitting self. It's a funny little cartoon that is great for the entire family.Grade A
View MoreIn this cartoon Pinky is ambling along the street when he spots a construction site and fancies himself as a laborer. Without an interview, skills, or a clue what he is doing Pinky invades the site and starts doing stuff, much to annoyance of the foreman who can't seem to nail him down and scold him.Everything that Pinky does leads to disaster, as one would expect, with plenty of amusing slapstick and pratfalls. The crew eventually get tired of his antics and of having a giant cat among their workforce and chase him out of town.A fairly amusing cartoon.
View MoreWalking by a construction site, the Pink Panther sees a sign on the fence "workers needed," so he hops the wall and enters the site. He walks right by the half-dozing foreman and begins to go to work. Apparently, the PP doesn't think he needs a job interview or anything. Immediately, our hero causes a disaster with the first thing he does. This joke carries the cartoon as the Panthers walks around on high beams, does various projects, takes and puts back work objects....with the result - every time - being that somebody gets clobbered and it's usual that same foreman. This almost reminded me a Three Stooges short in which the boys would inadvertently make a total wreck out of a place, such as when they were plumbers.The gags here are clever and fun to watch.
View MorePink Panther cartoons (for which I have a soft spot) often feel recycled, even when they're not. The artists responsible for them were all veterans, and if they hadn't told these exact jokes before, they'd told many like them - only, in the Panther cartoons, they're told for the first time in an almost perfectly minimal style, shorn of such things as intricate artwork, complicated animation, camera movement, and personality. (The Pink Panther's distinguishing feature is that he doesn't have one. He may, at most, have moment-to-moment motivation.)There's always a cunning exactness to the design, and the artwork is often attractive - although, in this cartoon, it's a touch TOO minimal for that to be the case. The Panther is long and thin, and so are girders, and so are wooden planks, and apart from these things (and a blue sky background), there's not a lot to look at. That's the cost of applying the Pink Panther style to a construction site. The benefit is that no bad cartoon, I'll be willing to wager, has ever been made about a construction site. They're too rich in possibilities. So the gags are good, the humour unlaboured and unforced, the timing assured. At the very least it's a decent effort.
