Notes[]

  • Joe Oriolo later renamed Dinky to Winky due to Oriolo's preference and the negative connotation of "dinky" at the time.
  • Only the original iterations of Inky & Dinky as they appeared in the black and white films are public domain. All later iterations, including Dinky’s updated name of Winky, remain under copyright by DreamWorks Animation/NBCUniversal, the current owner of the Felix the Cat intellectual property.
