Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

OllieSuave-007 The Pink Panther finds a magic lamp in the streets and it starts talking to him. Instead of the lamp granting wishes to the panther, it encourages the panther to become the genie himself. Then, the panther could have the powers to grant other people's wishes as long as they rub the lamp. However, nobody seemed to be interested in rubbing at the lamp, as it gets used it all sorts of purposes, from being used as a tea kettle to a hockey puck.It's just a lot of back and forth of lamp rejects to the panther trying to dodge obstacles while stuck in the lamp. Not many laughs here and not many action.Grade D+

TheLittleSongbird The Pink Panther has lots of entertaining cartoons, and The Genie with the Light Pink Fur is one such cartoon. It is also one of his most inventive in a scenario that I don't think has been done in a Pink Panther cartoon. well certainly not before The Genie with the Light Pink Fur that is. The first half is a little better than the second half in terms of humour, but that is not a problem as The Genie with the Light Pink Fur maintains its imagination and sense of fun throughout right to the end. The gags, a numerous amount too, are very well timed and clever, not to mention very funny. You also feel Pinky's frustration and you do feel sorry for him. The animation is clean and elegantly shaded, no obvious starkness, scrappiness or flatness. The music does nothing to dull the story or gags, it is still jazzy and you still remember it. The theme tune is very catchy and one of those that will not irritate you no matter how many times you hear it(I myself can't count the number of times I've heard it and I love it still). Pinky is fun, cool and instantly likable, in this cartoon as said already you are sympathetic towards his predicament. In conclusion, imaginative and funny, with a great unique(for Pink Panther) idea and packed with clever gags. A winner, and one of the better 1966 Pink Panther outings. 9/10 Bethany Cox

ccthemovieman-1 A talking magic lamp?? Yes, and he's a funny guy. He says things like "zowie," "be the life of the party; amaze your friends, come on in!"The Pink Panther was just walking along minding his own business one day when he spotted the lamp on the ground. The lamp gives him this funny sales pitch (see above for part of it) and convinces him to be a "genie" inside the lamp. Then, he says, just wait for people to rub the lamp and you'll be in business!That turns out to be easier said-than-done. People don't know it's a magic lamp. How would they? Consequently, our PP has some disrespectful (and funny) things happen to the "lamp." Sometimes he comes out of it, dressed in genie garb, and then places the lamp out where some nice people (i.e. an old lady) will see it and take it. Most of the time, he just hops around inside of it and waits to see what happens. Each time, however, it's a disaster.I didn't find this hilarious as others have, but it was inventive and definitely fun to watch, especially the beginning.

rbverhoef The pink panther encounters a talking lamp and he becomes the genie of that lamp. Inside the lamp it is not as good as he hoped for when the lamp is mistaken for a lot of other things. With a great number of big laughs, especially in the first half, this is a great short from the pink panther.
