| 2 | ''Dinky Doodle'' was a cartoon character created by Creator/WalterLantz for [[Creator/BrayStudios Bray Productions]] in [[UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation 1924]]. Dinky was a standard boy character, sporting a flat cap, a striped shirt, and dark shorts. He and his dog Weakheart appeared alongside Lantz himself (as the cartoonist) in a series of short films that combined live-action and animation, similar in style to [[Creator/MaxAndDaveFleischer Max Fleischer's]] ''WesternAnimation/OutOfTheInkwell'' series, as well as Creator/WaltDisney's ''WesternAnimation/AliceComedies''. |

He was later (mockingly) mentioned as someone supposedly kidnapped when Angelo mocks Eddie Valiant for working for a toon in the [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation 1988]] film ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. |
