Pink Campaign (1975)

Pink Campaign Review

Pink Campaign is a 1975 animated short film from the Pink Panther series.

The Pink Panther steals the house of a lumberjack (the Little Man) piece by piece in revenge for the lumberjack’s cutting down his treehouse home. The premise is great, but per usual we needed a better execution of it. I loved the use of the Little Man here. Yes, we’ve seen a forest setting many times before, but here he is a lumberjack, which was original for this movie and it was very funny following his demise here.

The anti-lumberjack narrative is so amusing and the highlights were Pink’s revenge scenes with every single cutting of the house being very entertaining. However, the ending is disappointing. I liked the little guy’s demise, but Pink’s house being destroyed was not explained why it happened and it was needless in my opinion.

Pink Campaign has its problematic moments, but the premise is great and the two characters are well realized. The animation is excellent too.

My Rating – 3.8
