Pinky Malinky is an American-Canadian animated web-television series and the forty-third major Nicktoon that was produced by Nickelodeon and released on Netflix. It was created by Chris Garbutt and Rikke Asbjoern, and produced by Jam Filled Entertainment and Nickelodeon Animation Studios. Series production was announced in August 2015. It was the first ever Nicktoon to be produced for a streaming service and be distributed off of Nickelodeon networks.

Series description[]
- “'Pinky Malinky follows the title character, a hotdog living in a human world, who — along with his two best friends — made his first appearance on Nickelodeon in 2016. At the time, the character had an active social-media presence. The show uses the tropes of a mockumentary and reality show format, with Pinky and his friends will talk directly to the camera and the audience to share their silly take on real life.”
