Keep Our Forests Pink

Pink Panther cartoons are a vast majority of the time worth watching, and while it's somewhat different Keep Our Forests Pink is not an exception. If you want funny visual gags look elsewhere, Keep Our Forests Pink is agreed not that funny though with a few amusing touches(though admittedly that was the intent of the cartoon, just that it is very different to what we're used to). The ending is a very odd if slightly clever one, and the pace lags a bit. However Keep Our Forests Pink is simply but well animated, minimal but colourful and not too sparse in the drawing. The music as ever is fabulous, the soulful jazzy orchestration fits well and the theme tune is a justifiable classic, one of those theme tunes where no matter how many times you hear it it doesn't come across as annoying. Pinky is cool and likable and the Little White Man is a great foil filling in the role of the person doing what Pinky is trying to stop. Keep Our Forests Pink is very much a message cartoon, and does a great job in that regard, the messages the cartoon contains are very much relevant now and somehow it does it without being too heavy-handed. Considering that it was covering a subject matter where it was more than easy to be that it's quite impressive. Overall, a good Pink Panther cartoon if not a great one, there are both better and worse around. 7/10 Bethany Cox

The Pink Panther is a ranger at a national park and is in charge of keeping the forest clean and safe. It's clever how he works with the wild animals to enforce all the safety laws, which is to the detriment of the pointy-nosed man, who doesn't heed to all the "no fishing," "no fires," "no littering" signs.

While not a terribly funny cartoon, it's entertaining seeing the Pink Panther outsmart the pointy-nosed man on a number of occasions and nice seeing the cartoon sending kids messages to always pick up after yourselves.

Grade A-

Despite signs in the forest which say, "Don't make fires, "Don't Fish" "Don't Litter," the Little White Man and his dog do just the opposite.

The Pink Panther is a forest ranger in this animated short, and he cleans everything. He even has an "army" of ants help him, so when this slob comes by and breaks all the rules, the Panther makes it rough on him

Frankly, although interesting, there was nothing really funny in this cartoon. It was more of a "message movie" than the usual cartoon-comedy. It's a good "dig"" at the pigs who litter our forests (and everywhere else, for that matter) and or-think rules belong to someone else, not them.

The ending was very strange with the forest turning out to be a fake one. That was clever, but not funny, either
