. . . as a National Park Ranger standing next to the Liberty Bell with a GS-4 "Historical Interpreter" designation, you pick up more ding-a-ling information than anyone would ever need. "Cracked and mute, resting silently here" was one of Granddad's favorite phrases, memorized as part of Mort Crime's after-hours push-button bell spiel available to late night dog walkers and homeless insomniacs alike. Therefore, I have reason to believe that PINKIE DOODLE is at odds with True History. This tolling giant did NOT crack the night of Paul Revere's Ride, or break during a Hump-Tee Dump-Tee type fall. It did not even bust ringing for the Declaration of Independence on July 2 or 4 or 8 or whatever, 1776. No sir re, Bob, it actually broke while mourning for one-time U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. Grandpa says that during the Bicentennial, Marshall's gallstones were on display in Philadelphia's Mutter Medical Museum, as well.

That annoying horse again!
OllieSuave-00723 October 2016
It is back in the Revolutionary War times and the Pink Panther is assigned to warn the townspeople by the incoming invasion of the Red Coats. However, the cartoon seems to be mostly focused on the panther grappling with an annoying horse who wouldn't cooperate; for some reason, the Pink Panther never has any luck with horses in his stories.
Not a very funny cartoon, nor very entertaining. In my humble opinion, I'm tired of seeing a horse laughing hysterically at the Pink Panther in every one of the cartoons a horse appears in. I would have liked to see the panther deal more on one with the Red Coats. A little clever touch of patriotism, though, especially the part with the Liberty Bell.
Grade D

The standout of the 1976 Pink Panther cartoons
TheLittleSongbird11 August 2014
The previous 1976 Pink Panther cartoons have been entertaining but have ranged only from just above-average to pretty good. Apart from the somewhat predictable at times story and the rather ugly character design of the horse(personal opinion once again), Pinky Doodle was very good. It is the best animated of the batch, yes with some hasty-looking backgrounds and the horse's design but Pinky is again very well drawn and the colours are very vibrant. Pinky Doodle is also the funniest of the 1976 Pink Panther cartoons, the ending will make you laugh out loud but faring best was the gag with various body parts of Pinky swelling up with water, that was a hilarious and well paced gag and had the cleverest animation of the entire cartoon. The cartoon also has the best-paced story with not a lull in sight and the music from the classic theme tune to the rousingly jazzy incidental scoring is fitting with the action, is recognisable without feeling stock and it's pleasant to listen to as well. Pinky is a cool and likable character that you actually feel sorry for here, while the horse is a very funny foil here on the whole though his laugh in the water gag is a little grating. Overall, a very good and fun cartoon and the best of the 1976 batch for the Pink Panther. 8/10 Bethany Cox
