James "Jim" Jinkins (born 1953 in Richmond, Virginia, United States) is an American animator and creator of the animated ''Doug'' television series which was later the basis for a feature film. Jinkins also created ''PB&J Otter'', as well as several other shows produced by his two companies, Jumbo Pictures and Cartoon Pizza. ==Background and career== Jinkins was born in Richmond, Virginia, and lived there during his childhood. His experiences growing up in Richmond would serve as an inspiration for the fictional town of Bluffington, Virginia, in the series ''Doug''. Later, Jinkins worked in advertising, creating TV commercials and promotions featuring a young boy and a dog, who would become the main characters of his major creation, ''Doug''. Jim had developed Doug Funnie through doodles during a time of the early days of his career. Doug and his dog Porkchop first appeared in Jinkin's book ''Doug Got a New Pair of Shoes'', which led to his creating an animated pilot titled ''Doug Can't Dance''. He sold the ''Doug'' pilot to Nickelodeon. The pilot tested higher than any other pilot for the network at the time. Jinkins established Jumbo Pictures in 1990 to produce ''Doug'' for Nickelodeon. ''Doug'' went on to become one of Nickelodeon's most popular and successful series. Jinkins also created a TV show for Nick Jr, ''Allegra's Window''. Doug's success caught the eyes of Disney executives. In 1996 Jim sold Jumbo Pictures to Disney. Disney then developed ''Disney's Doug'' (originally ''Brand Spanking New! Doug'') as part of their "One Saturday Morning" lineup. Jinkins and his team at Jumbo Pictures have produced the ''PB&J Otter'' and ''101 Dalmatians'' animated series and feature film ''Doug's 1st Movie'' for Disney. Jinkins has also founded an independent company, Cartoon Pizza, which produced shows such as ''JoJo's Circus'', ''Stanley'', ''HoopDogz'', and ''Pinky Dinky Doo''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Jinkins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
