Pat and Stanley Rocks!

I've been feeling a bit rotten lately... no particular reason at all.

Thank God for the internet, I met Pat and Stanley.

They make me laugh a lot. They're fun to be with. And, they are French!



Pat is a hippopotamus and Stanley is a dog.

According to my research, Pat and Stanley is an animated series created by Pierre Coffin and Patrick Delage, two French 3D graphic designers graduated from the high-profile graphic art college, Ecole des Gobelins in Paris.

The series is produced by television producing company Mac Guff Paris and broadcast on the biggest French television channel, TF1, in their dedicated program for kids.

The series consists of short stories played by animated characters Pat the hippopotamus and Stanley the Dog.

Since the episodes hit user-submitted videos sites like YouTube, MetaCafe or DailyMotion, the animation series gained so much in popularity that it generated enough views to win at least $50,000 from MetaCafe. Pat and Stanley are still among the top 100 of Google Video for the "farting" episode.



I love them though, for their The Lion Sleeps Tonight rendition. Soo cute!



Despite the fact that they're done in French, the cartoon clip itself is hilarious.

You can search for them in YouTube, if you want to see more of their crazy antics.
