Behind the Scenes: The Making of Pixie and Dixie for Our YouTube Channel

Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran from 1958 to 1962 as a segment under The Huckleberry Hound Show, with a total of 57 episodes airing in syndication. Each episode followed the ongoing adventures of mice, Pixie and Dixie, as they're in constant battle with housecat, Mr. Jinks.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, Pixie, Dixie and Jinks were in the first lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did all the modeling work for the characters.

The first Pixie and Dixie story we produced for the channel, titled "Jinks is Too Much," was written by me. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original storyboard as it was lost over time. The plot followed Jinks chasing Pixie and Dixie. The second story, titled "Jinksy's Mad," was also written by me, it once more involved Pixie and Dixie having been chased by Jinks. In the final story, "Too Much Chasing, Meeces and Cats," which I also wrote, it again had Jinks chasing Pixie and Dixie, although I should make note that around that time, we had created smaller models for Pixie and Dixie.

We are still in the process of writing more Pixie and Dixie stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Pixie and Dixie story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
