Hopla is a Belgian animated children's television series created by Bert Smets and produced by Bert Smets Productions.[1] The cartoon features the rabbit Hopla and his friends―the pig Onki, the bear Nina, and the kitten Lola.[2] Similar to its spiritual predecessor Tik Tak, the series is aimed at babies, toddlers, and preschoolers between 0–2 years old and has no dialogue (the only dialogue is the show's name). The show was animated with Strata 3D.[3]
The show first aired on Ketnet, a Flemish television channel on 2 April 2000, and became popular soon afterward. Hopla has been aired in 31 countries (including Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Spain, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States).
In Belgium, Hopla's home entertainment titles have sold over 300,000 copies and their book-related merchandise has garnered sales close to 700,000. In Portugal, the show aired on public channel RTP2, with some dialogue added to briefly describe each scene's contents.
