The Pink Panther cartoons are mostly lots of fun, though some of the later ones are not quite so good. And that is the case with Pinknic. If you are familiar with the Pink Panther cartoons though, there won't be much story-wise that will come across as surprising, and the ending is a little rushed and not as funny as the rest. The gags are inventive and highly amusing, the lively pacing helps. The animation is clean and colourful with everything lovingly drawn, and some visual ideas like seeing the mouse through Pinky's sleeping eyelids are really clever. The music is still catchy and infectious, it's the sort of music you hear a lot but it never gets old, or at least to me it doesn't. Pinky is cool and fun as well as instantly likable, and I loved how the mouse was the sort of foil who couldn't have been more different in personality to how he looked. Their outsmarting of one another while somewhat predictable at times is still a lot of fun to watch. In conclusion, fun and inventive with the lead characters on great form. 8/10 Bethany Cox
