Pixie & Dixie and Mr. Jinks

Pixie & Dixie and Mr. Jinks is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon that featured as a regular segment of the television series The Huckleberry Houns Show from 1958 to 1961. The show featured two mice, Pixie and Dixie and a cat named Mr. Jinks. In many ways the shorts resemble Hanna-Barbera's earlier better-known creation, Tom and Jerry, which is also featured a warring cat and mouse in a domestic setting. However without Tom and jerry's more lavish budget for full animation, the Jinks team had to rely on funny dialogue and voices to carry cartoon's humor.

Pixie is voiced by Don Messick, Dixie and Mr. Jinks are voiced by Daws Butler in different ways. One is in a southern accent and the other is impersonating Marlon Brando.
