Production notes

This series imitated Japanese cartoons at a time when Japanese cartoon series often imitated foreign cartoons.

Cartoon jingle:

DoDo, the Kid from Outer Space,
DoDo can go, go any place,
With propellers on his heels,
Antennas on his ears,
He's the science-fiction pixie
From a strange atomic race,
DoDo, the Kid from Outer Space.
DoDo!
