The Pink Arabee (1976)

The Pink Arabee Review

The Pink Arabee is a 1976 animated short film from the Pink Panther series.

An Indian fakir’s magic rope falls in love with the Pink Panther’s tail and the Panther tries to run away from it. This is a very interesting take on the Arabian setting and The Thief of Baghdad-like formula that fits the Pink Panther formula so well. Again, per usual the short isn’t as funny as the best ones in the series are, but it is one of the more solid ones.

The animation’s great, the setting is very well realized and although the characters this time around are lacking with only Pink being present, that rope is so well utilized into the overall plot that it led to some very amusing sequences with the final third of the movie being particularly memorable.

The Pink Arabee isn’t great, but it’s very solid with great animation and a very well realized Arabian setting.

My Rating – 3.9
