L’hippopotame qui voulait être un crocodile

Hippolite is a hippopotamus who dreams of being a crocodile. He finds them beautiful with their emerald skin, their streamlined bodies and their sparkling teeth... Unfortunately, when the hippo looks in the mirror, he doesn't have the same style as his idols.

So he goes to the part of the river occupied by the reptiles and tries to get accepted by their group. But the grass is not always greener in the neighbor's house. He soon realizes that being a crocodile also has its bad side.
