Dinky Dog is an animated television series from Hanna-Barbera that complemented Popeye in the CBS show The All-New Popeye Hour, between 1978 and 1981. It is an original series and unrelated to E. C. Segar's creations.
Plot[]
The series stars the voices of Julie Bennett as Monica, Jackie Joseph as Sandy, Frank Nelson as Uncle Dudley and Frank Welker as Dinky the dog. It tells about two sisters that buy a tiny puppy at the pet store, the dog soon growing to enormous size and continually and unintentionally causing chaos and destruction in and around the house, to the ire of Monica and Sandy's Uncle Dudley. Episodes also saw the four main characters go sailing around the world, giving Dinky the chance to wreak havoc internationally.
This format lasted until 1981, when the Popeye Hour was shortened to a half-hour and renamed The Popeye and Olive Comedy Show. At this point, Dinky was spun off from its 11-minute segment to a show of its own, packing two 11-minute installments per half-hour episode.
