Twinkle The Marvel Horse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Twinkle The Marvel Horse is a fictional character in the short-lived cult classic cartoon Dave The Barbarian. He is based upon the actor Christopher Walken and is voiced by Jeff Bennett who has stated most of the lines were ad-libbed. In the Spanish dubbing his name is Astro

He resembles a My Little Pony-type character, but inside he is overly depressed. He is capable of flight, despite having no wings. It has been alluded to that he was ignored by Candy for so long (she stated upon meeting him she was sorry she didn't visit him more often) that he began to develop a form of paranoid dementia and a very dark mindset. He usually appears in the middle of a story and starts talking about his unsettling dreams. Twinkle is apparently aware he is viewed as unpleasant by most; in the episode, "Ned Frishman: Man of Tomorrow," when Twinkle wanted to play on Candy's Game Guy, and was refused, he threatened her with talking about a disturbing dream he had. Also, in "The Terror of Mecha Dave," he was properly introduced, and after Twinkle talked about his dreams, it usually ended with one of the characters saying, "Yeah, you really gotta get him out of the stable more often," or "Someone needs a hobby." He apparently can act, and requested a role in Dave's "Pageant of Udrogoth" as the Grim Reaper.

In the episode he was properly introduced, it was implied he was given to Candy as a birthday present.
