Dial 'P' for Pink
A short, pointy-nosed safecracker intends to rob a safe in a building, but he doesn't realize that the safe is occupied by the Pink Panther, who has made the safe his home. When the safecracker tries to blast the safe open with explosives, the Pink Panther returns each of the thief's devices just before they explode, with the thief taking all of the blasts. Finally, the Pink Panther decides to let the persistent, little man have the safe, which the panther has rigged with a bomb.

Good concept, poorly executed.
Excellent but underrated film
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This is a great, slick Pink Panther cartoon - one of his earlier ones - where he outsmarts a bumbling robber who wants to take away the panther's safe in his apartment.From constantly having the safe fall on him from being blown away by a bomb, the robber hilariously falls for the panther's slick tricks.There's no dialog or laugh track in this short, and the music score is perfect - classic Pink Panther that what makes these earlier cartoons funny, exciting and full of substance.Overall, great little cartoon. Wished all robbers could be outsmarted like this.Grade A
There is much to love about the Pink Panther cartoons. He is a very iconic and likable character, and his cartoons make for at least amusing viewing. If you love Pink Panther, you'll love Dial "P" for Pink. The story isn't much of a surprise but at least it's never dull. And it helps that the gags are so great, all of them especially the ending range from funny to hilarious. The animation is simply designed, especially the background art, without being too simplistic. The colours are very nicely done. The music is the epitome of cool and catchy, the main theme is the most memorable and irresistible themes. Pinky still is a very likable character, while his foil matches him very well.Overall, great and any Pink Panther fans will enjoy it. 9/10 Bethany Cox
One of the strongest of the Pink Panther shorts, this succeeds by a series of gags on the same theme: a safe cracker attempting to break into a safe inside of which is the Pink Panther -- the panther itself, of course.It also is strengthened by not having the two problems of many of the Depatie-Freleng cartoons. It does not have actively ugly backgrounding -- the backgrounding, instead, is nondescript -- and it does not have a laugh track, so you can enjoy it on your own terms.What it does have is the Pink Panther, a character with little personality, That is a weakness of all of the series. A comedian without a personality may do funny things and make you laugh, but he is also replaceable by any other comedian. It is odd that the old pros who did these cartoons seem to have forgotten that, but there you have it.
Probably still looking for a place to get some sleep, the Pink Panther has strangely chose a safe in a random building to catch some Zs. But some burglar dude turns up with the intention of breaking in. Old Pinky has fun changing locks and tormenting him, as usual. The little burglar dude can hardly believe his eyes when he finally sees whats inside, but the hijinks don't end there. Cleverly, Pinky convinces the burglar to take away the safe even though he suspects a bomb is inside.There are plenty laughs to be had in this cartoon and by this point Pinky's cleverness was beginning to match even that of Bugs Bunny. The Pink Panther is a great character and I love him.
