Saturtainment: Dinky Dog, movie star? (1978)

Eager to have Dinky Dog out of his house, Uncle Dudley (Frank Nelson, ex-The Oddball Couple, The Jack Benny Program) gives his blessing to Sandy & Monica (Jackie Joseph & Julie Bennett) to take Dinky (Frank Welker) to an audition. Here's "Dinky, The Movie Star":



You'll notice there's a separate closing sequence for Dinky, unlike when the segment was part of The All-New Popeye Hour, and it looks like Dinky was syndicated overseas, since there was no spin-off here in the US.

In memory of Julie Bennett, whom we have learned has passed away at 88 due to complications from COVID-19. No rating out of respect.
