A 4-foot-tall sheriff with a Napoleon complex and his sarcastic horse walk into a bar...
"Hoot Kloot" was a series of 17 theatrical cartoon shorts produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises from 1973 to 1974. They featured Sheriff Hoot Kloot -- a diminutive, short-tempered lawman -- and his loyal horse Fester who try to maintain order in a remote western town. The series was later shown on television as part of the NBC Saturday morning cartoon series "Pink Panther and Friends."
