The Pink Flea (1971)
The Pink Flea Review
The Pink Flea is a 1971 animated short film from the Pink Panther series.
I really did not love this one. It’s in fact one of the worst Pink Panther shorts so far in the series. That is not to say that it’s not without its moments. As a water guy, that scene in the water appealed to me, and in particular the icy ending was a lot of fun and quite memorable. The animation is also good.
But every other scene is utterly forgettable and lacking in originality. The entire premise is so familiar by now that it can be thought of as a rehash. How many times are we going to follow Pink as he is pestered by some insect? Needless to say, I was bored here.
The Pink Flea has its moments, but most of it felt very derivative and utterly forgettable.
