Dingbat Land is a 1949 short animated film produced by Terrytoons and distributed by 20th Century Fox starring Gandy Goose and Sourpuss.[2] This short is one of the few Terrytoons shorts to be in the public domain.
Gandy Goose and Sourpuss go on a safari jungle hunt in search for a rare Dingbat bird.
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).[3]
