These are great fun. Our boy is butting heads with an astronomer. The little guy is just trying to observe the moon when TPP decides to build a house on a bluff in front of his telescope. This leads to a series of quid pro quo things between the two. It's really pretty funny.

. . . campuses is "Why does everyone hate astronomers?" TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE PINK goes a long way toward anticipating the decades-long on-going Astronomy War being waged upon Hawaii's sacred M-a-u-n-a K-e-a over the invasive $1.4 billion Thirty Meter Telescope. Big Astronomy is constantly scalping hallowed mountain tops and polluting space with gargantuan nosy spy devices on both land and in the formerly pristine vastness of Outer Space. How many monks need to incinerate themselves at trail heads in order to get these self-appointed "star gazers" to finally butt out? These monomaniacal science bozos behave like classic sociopaths, wishing anybody in their way to fall off a cliff and perish, as the crazed telescope guy does several times to the Pink Panther during TWINKLE.
Nice little cartoon, with some cute gags.

While this cartoon is nothing special, it does have some amusing bits, As I want to discuss some details, please take this as a spoiler warning:
In this short, the Pink Panther's usual adversary, "The Little White Guy", is an astronomer working at an observatory, The Pink Panther buys a piece of land and builds a house which blocks the telescope's view of the Moon.
The astronomer intrudes his telescope into the Panther's home through a window, so he closes the blinds, which angers the astronomer, who then shines a bright light through the telescope at the Panther's home. The Panther paints the lens black.
The Panther then builds a brick wall and the telescope lens winds up being shattered. Things escalate from here on out, with each trying to retaliate against the other. There are some really cute gags, culminating in the astronomer's pushing the Pink Panther's house off its perch and a nice little bit about its crashing to the ground.
The Panther then makes it look as though little green critters can be seen doing a dance routine on the Moon, which the little guy reports, which brings two rather burly types to carry him off, his sanity in question.
The Pink Panther rebuilds his home and the little guy comes back to try and blow him up, only to blow himself to the Moon. The ending is priceless.
This cartoon is available on the Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection and is well worth seeing. Recommended.

Can't Feel Sorry For The Little Guy This Time!
ccthemovieman-130 April 2007
This is another outrageous Pink Panther cartoon in which one bizarre scene follows another....and that's fine with me!
I especially loved the beginning when the "little white man" - an astronomer in this story - is in the observatory with the lens that stretches right to the PP's bizarre home on top of steep mountain. The lens goes right up to the blinds and the scientist thinks he's seeing a new Jupiter-like planet. He reports it immediately to his "hotline" superiors. Then the huge lens goes right into our Panther's bathroom window, where's taking a bath! The scientist sees more things that he obviously misinterprets and reports them, too.
After he finally wises up, he tries to demolish the PP's house and mayhem ensues. Usually I feel sorry for the poor little guy who gets the worst in these PP cartoons, but not here. In this story, he deserves all the bad things that happen to him.
Overall, a very, very inventive cartoon that will leave you laughing out loud.

A Room with a View!

The Pink Panther buy a land on top of a mountain, with a spectacular view of the moon, and builds a house there. However, he constantly is interrupted by a man working at a nearby space observatory as he keeps using a gigantic telescope in attempts to look at the moon, hitting the panther's house in the process. What results is a hilarious duel of the the two as the panther wants his privacy left alone and the man would stop at nothing to see the moon, including knocking poor Pink Panther's house off the cliff!
Plenty of laughs and gags in this one - loved how the Pink Panther sneaked into the control room, closing the observatory door and slicing the telescope in half. Then, the man counters by bandaging it!
Grade A

Outrageously funny

Structurally it's somewhat on the formulaic side. On the upside, that doesn't come across as too much of a problem as Twinkle Twinkle Little Pink is still a great cartoon, the funniest Pink Panther cartoon since Pinkadilly Circus and one of the series' most delightfully bizarre cartoons. The animation is still minimal, but nicely drawn and colourful still, besides the minimal style is one of the series' charms. The music still manages to be appealingly jazzy and infectious with the theme tune for one so iconic not annoying in the slightest. The gags are the kind that are never less than funny and are delivered beautifully, the best especially the priceless ending being hilarious. Pinky is cool and charismatic, as well as charming as naturally funny, a one-dimensional character maybe but a great one too. The Little White Guy is a great foil, and it is agreed that Twinkle Twinkle Little Pink is one of the few times where you don't feel sorry for him, you identify much more with Pinky here in a way that hadn't quite been seen for a while in his previous cartoons. To conclude, Twinkle Twinkle Little Pink is a great and outrageously funny cartoon and is recommended most highly. 9/10 Bethany Cox
