The Pink Panther surely didn't get his money's worth when he purchased a puny camel for his Egyptian treasure hunt. All the animal could do was resist helping the panther carry his luggage and act like a overly cute, but dumb dog.There are a couple of scenes that warrant a chuckle here and there, particular the parts where the Pink Panther gets frustrated with the misadventures headed his way. But, not a very exciting cartoon - just too concentrated on a useless camel and a treasure hunt that went particularly sour.Grade D

Apart from an abrupt ending(though it's also a funny one), Pink Sphinx is a winner all round and one of the better 1968 Pink Panther cartoons. It is vibrantly and crisply animated, as well as being effective in its simplicity. You can't go wrong either with the jazzy orchestral score and iconic theme tune. The gags are cleverly timed and hilarious throughout, as well as being one of the better 1968 Pink Panther cartoons Pink Sphinx also has to be one of the funniest. The story is exciting and adventurous, not as routine as some other Pink Panther cartoons certainly. Pinky is cool and likable with great comic timing and the little camel is both funny and adorable.All in all, a delightful Pink Panther cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The was a fun story and one in which you could have made a much longer Pink Panther cartoon out if it, judging by how much fun the writers obviously had in doing this.You get an Indiana Jones adventure story, a slapstick comedy and a cute little camel for some human interest. There is a lot to like in this animated short which was good from start-to- finish. I hated to see it end. That ending was kind of goofy and little abrupt. That's another reason they should have expanded on this and made it a short featurette."Honest Abdul's Camel Lot" is where the Pink Panther strolls into, looking at "new and used" camels. He's in Egypt and needs some transportation. His goal is to find a treasure and he has a map. After some funny scenes at the Camel lot (pun intended), we have the PP's adventures of trying to get the treasure and his poor little camel (the only one he could afford) inadvertently making things more difficult.Overall: very enjoyable.

The pink panther is in Egypt. He wants a camel but has not enough money for a good one so he ends up with one that acts like a dog. He has a map that says where a treasure is hidden and together with his strange camel he enters the desert.This short was funny enough to be entertained for a couple of minutes. Especially the camel acting like a dog gets some good laughs.
