We Give Pink Stamps (1965) Online

The Pink Panther secrets himself inside Gamble's Department Store, so that after closing time, he can occupy the warm building for a night. But when a diminutive, pointy-nosed janitor arrives, the panther must go back into hiding. He conceals himself inside the mouth of a tiger-skin rug. When the janitor sweeps floor litter into the mouth of the rug, the Pink Panther ejects the litter and causes the janitor to think that the rug is alive. The janitor obtains a rifle and shoots the rug after the Pink Panther has crawled out of it. When the janitor spots cat prints on an escalator and is stealthily tapped on the back by the Pink Panther, he thinks the tiger-skin rug is responsible and goes back to fire more shots into it. The Pink Panther tries some of the store's merchandise, including a miniature rocket car, a washing machine, an iron, and, finally, a convertible chair, which starts biting like a dog and attacks the janitor.

The UK rating certificate was upgraded to PG for "potentially dangerous behavior" in 2006.

It's the Pink Panther torment a night-time department store custodian. I guess our hero is a kind of homeless type of guy who hangs out wherever he can find a warm, indoor spot. In this case, he's lying comfortably in the rug section.

Problems (and some very good sight gags) start when the Panther goes inside a tiger-skin and the janitor gets lazy, trying to sweep the dust and stuff inside the tiger's mouth. The PP shoves the dust right back at him. From that point, the Panther, undetected by the employee, drives the poor man crazy, appearing and re-appearing in different departments of the store, including the escalators.

In the meanwhile, the PP takes a bath in a washing machine, and tries out a few other things in the store such as the "Miracle chair." Most of them are have pretty funny results.

Overall, this was very entertaining.

The last time we saw the Pink Panther was in Pink Pajamas, in which he was desperate for a safe, warm place to get his head down. Nothing has changed as in this cartoon he stows away in Gamble's department store for a cozy night.

But the night janitor is suspicious of their uninvited guest and ends up being the butt of old Pinky's usual jokes and tricks. It's pretty funny stuff as both of them race from department to department trying out avoid and outwit each other.

The Pink Panther is very cool and very cute and this is one funny cartoon. But can someone explain the title to me?

The Pink Panther is an iconic character, and there is much charm and fun to be had in his cartoons. While not one of his absolute masterpieces, We Give Pink Stamps is thoroughly entertaining in all respects. I do agree though about the title, even as a kid I found it perplexing and still don't get the significance of it. The animation is simple but also stylish and the colours are pretty. The main theme to The Pink Panther is one of the most timeless themes for any animated show or character, and the music for We Give Pink Stamps is every bit as catchy. The story like the animation is simple but not simplistic, what matters more is that there is never a dull moment and sustains the running time nicely. The sight gags are imaginative and funny, Pinky is cool, sweet and funny(but never mean-spirited) in his craftiness, and the janitor takes the butt of Pinky's jokes memorably. In conclusion, the title is curious but We Give Pink Stamps makes for great entertainment. 9/10 Bethany Cox

We give pink stamps is the 3rd pink panther cartoon flick and it is good, I guess.

I like the idea of pink trying to hide from the little man, but having fun at the same time, but I could have been done better, but I don't know how.

The music is great and the animation is solid, but I feel this was a little bit of a bore, kind of.

The little bits of the panther messing around with the store products are neat, but they are a little boring.

Overall I give it a 5/10 stars, for being a good concept but executed kinda poorly.

The Pink Panther stoles away at a department store to spend a few nights, only to find himself driving the night-shift custodian berserk.

The panther wants some peace and quiet, so, he hilariously plays tricks on the custodian, from making pink footprints on the escalator to spitting back dust at him in order to scare him away. The panther also runs into a lawn chair that for some reason is able to come to live again (oh, the imagination of cartoons!). I liked the part where the custodian finally silences the live chair.

It's also a little too funny that the cat rug, which withstood several shots from the custodian's shotgun, was able to come to life as well! A rather funny cartoon - a little too incredible - but still entertaining nonetheless!
