This is the dream wedding of the century
Susi Sonnenschein(Sunshine) marries her Happy Hippo in the sunny Hippo valley. And all their friends, from Funny Fanten to Dapsy Dinos, have come to congratulate and celebrate together. As soon as the talkative priest, Paulus Predicus, gave his blessing and overjoyed Wilma Weinumskind shed her last joyful tears, the party began. Even Susi’s childhood friend, Gustav Gluecklos(Luckless), who wishes so much if he were Happy Hippo, cannot be sad any longer. The Pingo boys start music powerfully and that makes them thirsty. It’s obvious that hard-working Service-Sepp goes into a skid. While Dinolichen scatters flowers under the guests’ feet, Moritz Stibitz makes use of the mess to eat some cake secretly. This is just one of the snapshots the photographer Uli Unscharf took for the wedding album…. When they see the photo pictures later, they all will surely be looking forward to the next big event in the new century.

World premiere in the sunny Happy Hippo valley. The funny river horses play “
Hollywood
” and make their first play-film. Star director Arnie Action has assigned all roles perfectly. The leading actress, Marylinchen, practices once again her complicated line, “I love you, Happy Hero.” Here they go: “Sound on! Camera start! And action!”
Humphrey Heartbreaker who plays the leading character casually pulls his hat over his brows and quite cool looks at the camera by Diddi Durchblick. Here they already are: “Cut, everything in the can.” After this tremendous, exciting day of shooting all Happy Hippos meet up at
Hippo
River
. All? No, Dreamer Tommy is still sleeping softly on the cables, over which many stars have tripped before…

Happy Hippo-Boss excellently runs the flourishing company without talking much about it. Willy Warmluft (Warm-Air) talks a lot without really saying something. Only the heater in his office produces more and more warm air. Rudi Ruehrbruch (Stir-Break) takes care of all technical problems. He easily changes a dribbling water tap to the most splendid fountain. A bit overscrupulous Emil Erbsenzaehler (Pea-Counter) has been searching for a 1/2 pfennig(penny) difference in the inventory for days. Dreamer Tommy is the most reliable coworker because who sleeps makes no mistakes. Klara Klatschmaul (Chatty Clara) has no time for a break. She uses every second to spread the newest gossip. |

At last, we have got something new about Happy Hippos again. After hard training hours in the Happy Fitness Club our hippos are relaxed on Captain Happy Hippo’s ship in the
South Seas
. While Nico Neureich (Newrich) solidly tries to win Susi’s favor with heavy rocks, Freddy Flaute (Lull) observes the whole goings-on skeptically. Meanwhile, Dreamer Tommy calmly lets it go on. The effect of good book reading appears just after the first few lines. This heavenly quietness, however, comes to an end shortly before Willi Wirbelwind (Whirlwind) serves set meals cooked by the chef Emil Eintopf. Then, there comes a hectic activity for a short time. Fresh sea air finally makes them hungry. |
