Dingbat Land is a 1949 short animated film produced by Terrytoons and distributed by 20th Century Fox starring Gandy Goose and Sourpuss. This short is one of the few Terrytoons shorts to be in the public domain.
Plot
Gandy Goose and Sourpuss go on a safari jungle hunt in search for a rare Dingbat bird.
Production
This is the first short to introduce Dingbat, a yellow canary wearing a sailor's hat. Paul Terry was inspired by the Looney Tunes character Tweety, and hoped that Dingbat would become a recurring character. The series lasted just two more cartoons: All This and Rabbit Stew (1950) and Sour Grapes (1950).
