Jellystone (BurningRhino Style) Part One

A bit scratchy but at least it doesn't look like it's drawn by a six-year-old. I'm cool with that kind of thing with fanarts but if you're doing it with high-quality animation, it certainly won't appeal to everybody and yes, I drew the female counterparts of Dixie and Boba Looey. Dixie makes more sense and I just love Bobbie's voice

5/?? Childhood TV Shows you should watch

Pixie, Dixie, and Mr. Jinks

Seasons: 3

Episodes: 57

Original Release: October 2, 1958 – October 13, 1961

Synopsis:

The cartoon series stars two mice, the bow-tied Pixie and the vested Dixie, and Mr. Jinks the cat who is always outfoxed by the mice. The show's plot itself and its characters followed the same basic concept as Tom and Jerry.

My Rating: 6/10

My Reasoning:

I think the majority of the beginning of my list is Hanna Barbera cartoons; so bear with me. Anyway, this is another one that I quite enjoyed. I love Tom and Jerry; this show is in that same format but with more dialogue. So imagine if Tom and Jerry could talk and you pretty much have this show.

Is it as good as Tom and Jerry? I'd have to say no. I do quite enjoy it regardless though. I remember watching this as a kid and really liking it. Although, I might be biased since I did like pretty much anything created by Hanna Barbera. This is one of the more underrated ones. It's certainly not one that everyone remembers. I still personally think it deserves a chance at being watched; especially if you enjoy the cat-and-mouse hijinks.

You LAME Cat...

I don't understand Mr. Jinks's role in Jellystone!. Outside the show, he's a cat beatnik who tries to live a chill life while tormenting Pixie and Dixie. (Who often torment him)

In Jellystone!, Jinks barely has a personality other than being Huckleberry's boyfriend assistant. I say this because in almost every episode, Mr. Jinks is shown to be near or interacting with Huckleberry. But why? I guess it's because the Pixie and Dixie shorts were a part of the Huckleberry Hound show. But why, out of all the characters from any segment on that show, did they choose Mr. Jinks? They could have easily used Hokey Wolf or Yogi Bear. Personally, Huckleberry shouldn't even be the mayor of Jellystone because he's always seen as a job hopper. No job he has is permanent. I'd go further into this argument. But that'll have to wait for another day.

If you're going to have Mr. Jinks, Pixie and Dixie shouldn't be too far behind, right? Don't even bother getting excited for them because they're ordinary background characters in Jellystone!. They rarely show up. And when they do, it's a rarity to hear them say anything. This rolls right back to Jinks' character as he and the meeces never get to interact with each other. No meece means there's no point in having Jinks appear in the show as they form a character dynamic with him and Jellystone! breaks that dynamic by not having these three interact with each other. I mean, what's the point of including Mr. Jinks if you're not going to do anything with Pixie and Dixie?

There's DOZENS of characters that shouldn't be in Jellystone! because of how little the writers utilize them. The only ones who matter are Yogi, Boo Boo, Cindy, the three kids (Augie, Shag, and Yakky), Snagglepuss, Huckleberry, and Top Cat and his gang. Every other character is either used for gags or to make certain scenes feel more lively. Mr. Jinks is a prime example of this. Taking an established character from the Hanna Barbera lineup and doing the bare minimum with them.

I don't care if they'd come off as Tom and Jerry rip-offs. If the original Tom and Jerry formula still works, it should also work for Pixie, Dixie, and Mr. Jinks. It also doesn't help that the three also stand out from Tom and Jerry.

Soooo....

Just picture Mr. Jinks in a catnip-induced daze resting in his basket, plotting confused payback on "them meeces" for their planting genetically-modified catnip in the garden so Pixie and Dixie could keep playing undisturbed.

Huckleberry Hound - Here Comes Huckleberry Hound (Colpix, 1961) - Designed by the Hanna-Barbera Studio

In a Hanna-Barbera mood, so why not?

This record contains radio drama-like recreations of four Hanna-Barbera shorts originally produced for The Huckleberry Hound Show, narrated by Daws Butler as his Huckleberry Hound character (Huckleberry himself gets two tracks). Interestingly, this record was released just as Yogi Bear was getting his own show (he was just a segment of The Huckleberry Hound Show before he became popular enough to have H-B spin him off).

hanna-barbera Wild West panorama!

Tom and Jerry peeking at their ripoffs, who are pretending to be Native Americans and making it rain. Jinks, you take that headband off, you’re making a mockery of native culture

Quick Draw McGraw lassoing a Buffalo. Captain Caveman, wtf are you doing???

Doggie Daddy telling stories by the campfire to Augie, Ricochet Rabbit, Crazy Legs, and some random animals. I also love how Blast-Off Buzzard is up there, perched on a cactus, looking salty.

Dino being Dino.

An animal jamboree (wtf? Atom Ant x Granny Sweet confirmed? That raises disturbing questions)

Fred Flintstone serving soup. Top Cat looks so short here for no reason. Oh and Huck playing the triangle, love that for him
