I thought I used to watch Dodo. I guess I was too young at the time to remember any of what happened in the shows. I don't recall them all rhyming everything like in this clip. It seemed like the theme song sounded a little different too in my memory. In the one I remember, he used to use a word like discombobulated or discombooberated or something like that. He even looked and sounded different in my memory. Was there another Dodo show? Oh well, the memory does get fuzzy sometimes with age : )

@MusicLovingLady2006 Sounds more like Marvin Martian or Colonel Bleep or possibly Prince Planet!

Dont forget the original outer space cartoon, Colonel Bleep , and who remember's watching Spunky and Tadpole.?

[drbotanus]

@1952kid There should be some Colonel Bleep toons on here. It is also in the public domain.

THANK YOU!!! I LOVE DODO. I remember it from when I was a kid. I asked others if they remembered it - this cartoon about a kid, with 'propellers on his heels,' and I usually got blank stares in return. This, Hashimoto Mouse (?), Kimba,Speed Racer, Tintin and Thunderbirds were my favourites. So cool! Again, thanks!

@uszoninyc House of Hashimoto is posted on Facebook. Look around. I never actually saw Dodo, or else I dont remember. I am told that this print is recorded at a slower speed than normal. There were plenty of weird sixties cartoons I saw in the 70s that I saw and dont know the titles of. I did not even know that Tintin had an English translation. All I ever saw were those French books. For me it was Kimba, Speed, Marine Boy, King Kong, Felix (Transworld) .

And, one more observation: I'm no linguist expert by any stretch, but I detect a pattern in this cartoon: it seems to rhyme. Did anyone else notice? Doesn't it seem sublime?

OMG ...is Dodo 'rapping'? Is he the original Rap Master?!?

If you lived in Los Angeles in the 60's , this would've been on KHJ Channel 9 with other Japanese cartoons like Speed Racer, Kimba The White Lion and Gigantor to name a few.

it's actually says it's from 1965 and not 1960. @ 0:24

I would get up each Saturday at 5:30am and this would be the first show on.

This sounds kindof slow.  I watched this as a kid.

@drbotanus Whew! Sorry about the multiple posts. YouTube never gave confirmation that anything was posted, even after refreshing. Anyway, it had to be Dodo because I remember the metal bird. I think a show called Doctari used to follow it. I never saw Marvin Martian or Colonel Bleep. I know and remember Prince Planet well. Also Marine Boy, and Gigantor. Those were the days.
