James Jinkins, a celebrated American animator, cartoonist, and children's author, entered the world on August 8, 1953, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey that would eventually lead to his widespread recognition as the visionary creator behind the highly acclaimed animated television series Doug. This groundbreaking show would later serve as the inspiration for a feature film, cementing Jinkins' status as a master of his craft.
In addition to his impressive work on Doug, Jinkins is also the creative driving force behind the beloved animated series PB&J Otter, as well as several other notable shows produced by his two esteemed companies, Jumbo Pictures and Cartoon Pizza.
