Pat et Stanley (English: Pat & Stan, Italian: Pat e Stan, Dutch: Pat en Stan, Danish: Nik og Jan, Serbian: Pet i Sten/Petko i Stanko) is an animated series that appeared as part of the children's television programme TFOU on the French network TF1.^[1] The show is animated by Mac Guff and created by Pierre Coffin, who would later on co-direct Despicable Me at the same studio via Illumination Entertainment.

Pat the brown hippo and Stan the yellow dog have appeared in 39 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. It also appeared in Indonesia as a filler of local TV channel based at Sukamara Regency, Central Kalimantan, Sukamara Jaya Television (SJTV), of which the original audio has been completely replaced with a dialogue in Banjarese that includes body shaming.^[3]

Two English dubs have also been made, one broadcast on CITV and Pop in the United Kingdom, with Pat and Stan being voiced by Jay Simon and John Telfer respectively, and another on Kids' WB (later known as The CW4Kids and then, Toonzai) and also The Shorts on Cartoon Network in the United States, where Pat and Stan were 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 October, 9, 2008. It was reported that ITV had acquired and secured rights of the show to air and re-air on the CITV channel, ITV had acquired and secured rights of all readily available formats of the show since its conception in 2004 such as the 350 shorts of the show already made and the half-hour 'Treasure Hunt'' special too. The 350 shorts of the show were scheduled to be put on the CITV website very soon but would not be making its debut TV launch in the then upcoming Christmas of the same year. ITV had also acquired the latest new series produced at the time consisting of 39 episodes in 7 minute formats to air in the spring of 2009 on the CITV channel. ^[4][5]
