Dooly the Little Dinosaur (Korean아기공룡 둘리; RRAgigongryong Dulli) is a South Korean media franchise created by cartoonist Kim Soo-jung. It was originally created as a manhwa (comic) that was serialized from 1983 to 1993.[2] It centers on the titular Dooly, an anthropomorphic baby dinosaur character. The media franchise expanded to include a television series and animated film.[3]

Dooly is considered one of the most respected and commercially successful characters of South Korean animation.[4] Dooly was even made a citizen of South Korea, and given a resident registration card.[5]

There is an official sequel, Baby Saurus Dolly (베이비 사우르스 돌리; Beibi Saureuseu Dolli), which came out in 1995.[6]
