History WesternAnimation / PinkyDinkyDoo

* FakeInteractivity: The Game Time segments have this.

* AnAesop: Sometimes. For example, the moral of "Stinky Pinky Doo" is "treat others the way you want to be treated".

* FireForgedFriends: Daffinee and Pinky, as shown in "Stinky Pinky Doo". Daffinee made fun of Pinky's stinky breath before, but when Daffinee ripped her skirt, Pinky gave Daffinee her jacket to tie around her waist so people won't see her underwear. They've been great friends since then.

* InformedAttribute: According to [[http://www.pinkydinkydoo.com/print/characters_print.html this]], Pinky's dad is a cartoonist, but we never see him acting as such in the show itself.

* COnspiciousCG: The second season is done in very, very, VERY obvious cel-shaded CGI.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Daffinee is spoiled and can be rude at times, but she's mostly kind.

* OnceAnEpisode: During the made-up story, Pinky must Think Big, at which point her head swells up like a balloon and she comes up with an often wacky solution to the problem while singing. While Pinky usually does the thinking, there are occasional times where Tyler does it, and even Mr. Guinea Pig does it in "Shrinky Pinky".

Pinky is a seven-year-old girl who lives in Great Big City with her parents, her four-year-old little brother, Tyler, and their pet, Mr. Guinea Pig. When a problem arises, Pinky dances her way to a cardboard box called her Story Box with Tyler and Mr. Guinea Pig and uses a piece of chalk and her imagination to tell a story.
