'''''Dinky Doodle''''' was a cartoon character created by [[Walter Lantz]] for [[Bray Studios|Bray Productions]] in [[The Silent Age of Animation|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 [[Fleischer Studios|Max Fleischer's]] ''[[Out of the Inkwell]]'' series, as well as [[Walt Disney]]'s ''[[Alice Comedies]]''.
Dinky Doodle enjoyed a degree of popularity among audiences, but was retired from the screen in 1926. He was later (mockingly) mentioned as someone supposedly kidnapped when Angelo mocks Eddie Valiant for working for a toon in the [[The Renaissance Age of Animation|1988]] film ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''.
