[http://www.dingo-pictures.de/en Dingo Pictures] is one of the low-budget animation studios working for low-budget video game publisher Phoenix Games; formerly it worked for Midas. Dingo Pictures animation studios resides in Germany.

* Most of them have only two voice actors - one male and one female. In some cartoons, there's only 1 voice actor.

* Numerous characters often start laughing randomly and silently.

* Most of the animal characters are recycled from cartoon to cartoon. Same to bases of human characters.

* They also recycle the backgrounds and background music a lot.

See also [[Video Brinquedo]] and [[Spark Plug Entertainment]] for their [[All CGI Cartoon|computer animation]] counterparts.

 

* [[Anastasia]]

* [[Bedknobs and Broomsticks|Animal Soccer World]]

* [[The Prince of Egypt|Moses: Prince of Egypt]]

* [[Pocahontas]]

* Son of the Lion King

* Wabuu, the Cheeky Raccoon

 

Another "Hercules" cartoon (Legend of Herkules), not made by Dingo Pictures, was released by Phoenix Games, as were the <s>films</s> works "Mighty Mulan", "Peter Pan", and "Cinderella".

 

* [[Accent Adaptation]]: A dog with a Dutch accent in Animal Soccer World, for example.

* [[Alternate History]]: In ''Anastasia'', Communism is never established in Russia and a democratic republic is established instead. However, in a case of [[Tropes Are Not Good]], the whole thing seems to play out more like [[You Fail History Forever]].

* [[Anthropomorphic Shift]]: An interesting variation. Most (but not all) animal characters here usually walk on four legs except when doing certain tasks which humans do (e.g. play football) which makes them temporarily turn bipeds and get clothes.

** Oddly enough, when the shift occurs, the characters' legs do not change shape into that which supports bipedal motion, hence you have scenes like a black panther running with wildly flipping hind legs in Animal Soccer World.

** Not only that, but the way in which he achieves kangaroo-like locomotion is the stuff of [[Nightmare Fuel]].

** The T-Rex-ish ''thing'' in Dinosaur Adventures has a [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying|red button nose]] and is apparently the child of [[Critical Research Failure|two sauropods]].

* [[Expy]]: Most notably in ''Animal Soccer World''. Expies of [[Captain Ersatz]].

* [[Extra! Extra! Read All About It!]]: Happens a few times and proves why this trope is [[Dead Horse Trope|dead]] elsewhere.

*** In the English dub of Animal Soccer World, the football anthem is sung in Dutch over the original German.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Dingo reuses the same voice actors ''constantly''. Often within the same cartoon, with no attempt by the actor to distinguish the voices. Some shows, while having male and female characters, have a single voice actor/actress.

* [[Jerkass]]: Wabuu, ''especially'' in his eponymous short.

* [[Large Ham]]: Oro, the professor dinosaur in Dinosaur Adventure.

* [[Love At First Sight]]: In their Pocahontas cartoon, this trope was taken to the extreme, accompanied by a horrible song.

* [[Limited Animation]]: [[Up to Eleven|And that's putting it lightly.]] This makes [[Filmation]] look like [[Disney]].

* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]

* [[Mood Dissonance]]: The look of utter revulsion and horror on Hercules' face when he falls in [[Love At First Sight]].

* [[Mouth Flaps]]: In all of their works, most obviously in Animal Soccer World.

* [[The Mockbuster]]: Almost all of its animations.

* [[Non Dubbed Grunts]]: Obvious at some point.

* [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here]]: Harry the "reporter" in Animal Soccer World.

* [[Obligatory Swearing]]: A few examples, possibly due to [[Values Dissonance]]:

** One of the more infamous pieces is the ominous "jungle" music featured in Animal Soccer World, which plays for almost the entirety of the movie even when other pieces of music play over it.

* [[Reused Character Design]]: For certain values of "star."

* [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying]]: In Dinosaur Adventure, there are '''apes''' and deer.

** In general, everything about the dinosaurs in said movie, which are all said or implied to belong to the same species and that are all herbivores, [[Carnivore Confusion|treating the dinosaurs that became carnivores as evil]]. And not only pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, the one present [http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/_sMHku2Z6vo/hqdefault.jpg looks like a mutated child between] [[The Land Before Time|Petrie]] [http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/_sMHku2Z6vo/hqdefault.jpg and a cockatrice].
