Lovely to see Dinky has kept up with modern technology! I used to watch his cartoons as a child. Thank you for uploading this!

This cartoon was featured on "Mighty Mouse Playhouse" TV show and it was in black & white during the CBS run. Despite the TV titles, this one is rare with the smiley face in the background. The syndicated version had the familiar shape border design that goes with the title and it was reshown in color. There is a color version of the same cartoon which is still hard to find.

This was a color cartoon. I have a 80's video of it in color.

Dinky did rescue the chick from the water.This is one good lesson in how a misunderstanding can lead to a war.

In this early Dinky cartoon,there were no spoken words other and cheeps and quacks.Future cartoons had Dinky and the others talking-like the memorable one where Mr.Owl gave Dinky a sky-hook to keep him from drowning(actualy give him the confidence to swim).

This was indeed the second cartoon in Paul Terry's "Dinky" series (produced until 1953), filmed and released in black & white ['Terrytoons' wouldn't be regularly filmed in color until 1943]- this is a TV print, minus the original credits. Directed by Connie Rasinski; story by John Foster; music by Philip A. Scheib.

Thanks. the flicker look is the camera not in sync with the projector. It is also brighter in person.
