''The Dingles'' is a 1988 Canadian animated short based on a book by Helen Levchuk, directed by Les Drew for Creator/NationalFilmBoardOfCanada.
Its titular characters are an old woman named Doris Dingle and her only companions: Donna the snobby Siamese, DeeDee who likes to tap Doris' cheek with her paw, and all-around good guy Dayoh. The four live a carefree and idyllic life, but one day, a huge storm suddenly arrives and nearly threatens to put an end to their usual routine.

!!Tropes:
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''oris '''D'''ingle and, assuming the short's title could refer to all four of the characters, her cats.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: All of the characters' names start with the letter D.
* AnthropomorphicZigZag: Donna, DeeDee and Dayoh, who often show human characteristics like walking on their hind legs, grasping objects with their front paws, etc.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The earthworm seen in the opening and closing credits has visible BlackBeadEyes. Real-life earthworms ''don't''.
* AStormIsComing: Immediately after everyone finishes breakfast and tend to themselves, a storm comes and disrupts their wonderful day.
* BigStormEpisode
* BlackkBeadEyes: All of the characters except Donna (and the poodle that is briefly seen being blown away by the storm) have these.
* BuriedAlive: The wind tips over a bag of peat moss which buries Dayoh as he is digging to... somewhere (possibly his unfinished hole to China).
* CoolOldLady: Doris formulates a plan to make her way into the house along with her cats - by ripping her apron into three pieces and tying them around each of the cats.
--> '''Narrator:''' But even though Doris was very scared, she had a plan...
* CrazyCatLady: Who else but Doris Dingle?
* CreativeClosingCredits: The credits show the earthworm seen earlier in the opening credits, sleeping alongside the credits. At one point, it is seen sleeping on top of Raymond Dumas' name in the "Animation Camera" section, and falls down when it fades away. Finally, the credits end by fading to a picture of Doris holding her cats.
* DiggingToChina: After digging loads of holes leading to several countries, Dayoh then proceeds to dig one leading to China. We don't see him ending up there though, but judging by the flags he marked the other holes with, it's implied that he showed up at the countries he dug to.
* FearOfThunder: Donna is frightened by a lightning bolt viewed outside the house from a window and hides under a rug and then into Doris' dress, clinging onto the woman's panties.
* FurryReminder: The cats groom their paws with their tongues during the scene where Doris relaxes in the bathtub.
* GoToSleepEnding: The short ends with Doris and her cats settling into bed at night.
* HarmlessElectrocution: Once the Dingles make their way to the front door during the storm, a lightning bolt strikes a fence and bounces off to them. All it does is send them, sans DeeDee, flying through the door.
* InstantWristwatch: DeeDee briefly looks at her wristwatch when the narrator finishes this line:
--> "After eating, they would drink catnip tea in the sunshine, then go about their business in the backyard."
* HighOnCatnip: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. The catnip tea that the three felines drink does not seem to affect them in the slightest.
* HumanKnot: At the end of the credits, the sleeping earthworm crawls back into its hole, unaware of the fact that its tail is tied in a knot.
* KindheartedCatLover: Again, Doris Dingle. The narrator's dialogue at the beginning says it best.
--> "Doris Dingle had three cats: Dayoh, Donna and Dee Dee, and she loved them with all her heart."
* MoodWhiplash: The storm that sets off the conflict of the short.
* {{Narrator}}: The short has one.
* NiceHat: Doris wears a white cap with an unnaturally-oversized brim.
* OutOfControlPopcorn: DeeDee's breakfast cereal, for some odd reason, is a bowlful of popcorn that continuously pops out of the bowl after Doris pours milk on the bowl.
* PantyShot: The wind causes Doris' skirt to be blown upward, revealing her panties before she pushes it down.
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: "Ride of the Valkyries" by Music/RichardWagner starts playing as the cats approach Doris and hold on tight onto her.
* SphereEyes: Donna has these. So does the poodle being blown away by the storm.
** [[spoiler:Doris herself briefly gains these when she freaks out in one scene, and Dayoh briefly gains sphere eyes as he brings over Donna and DeeDee while preparing to cling onto Doris.]]
* SpotOfTea: Doris serves her cats catnip tea after they finish their breakfast.
* TheEnd: This is the very last thing said by the narrator at the end of the short.
* TheOneGuy: Dayoh is the only male character in the short.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Dayoh does a cartwheel at one point as he gets ready to jump on Doris in response to her calling his name.
* WingdingEyes: The cats (including the flamingo statue Dayoh is clinging on for dear life) get + eyes as they get blown to the fence, hit it and slide down, one-by-one. Then, immediately after the cats peek out from the rubble pile against the fence, Donna gets + eyes again when a trash can lid lands on her head.
