Pat the pink hippopotamus and Stan the orange dog have appeared in 362 short episodes as well as the 26-minute movie Pat et Stanley: Le Trésor de Pit et Mortimer (Pat and Stanley: The Treasure of Pit and Mortimer, 2006). Outside France the duo are most famous for the short clip in which Pat is seen singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."[2] The clip appeared in Italy in a commercial by Ferrero's Kinder chocolates; they also produced a "Happy Hippo" shaped chocolate snack.

Two English dubs have also been made, one broadcast in the United Kingdom with Pat and Stan voiced by Jay Simon and John Telfer respectively, and another on The CW4Kids in the United States, where Pat and Stan voiced by Dan Green and David Wills respectively, and under two Dutch versions on Jetix in the Netherlands, and on Ketnet in Flanders. Pat and Stanley are now featured in many unofficial online videos singing English (as well as international) songs. It was on Cartoon Network's website from December 5, 2014 to April 11, 2015. In the UK it is aired on CITV and Pop.
