''Hip-Hip and Hurra'' is a [[{{UsefulNotes/Poland}} Polish]] animated series created by Elżbieta Wąsik and produced by Studio Miniatur Filmowych.

The series centers around a duo of {{Clueless Detective}}s, a pink hippo named [[PunnyName Hip-Hip]] and a purple weasel named [[PunnyName Hurra]]. Most of the mysteries the characters solve center around lessons about nature's phenomena.

While targeted for very young children and very educational at heart, it includes humor intended for [[ParentalBonus adults as well]] and often focuses a lot on the comedy. The series consists of 26 episodes. Outside of Poland, the show got popular in Argentina as well in Hungary, Portugal and some other countries.
----
!!This show provides examples of:

* {{Acrofatic}}: While he is a Hippopotamus, Hip-Hip is very agile and can jump very high.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: The Crane is a drummer in his band.
* AlliterativeTitle
* AscendedExtra: A lot of characters who only appeared once or twice in the first season (Crane, Kinga, the Bear Family, the Peacock) appear very often in the second season.
* AffectionateParody: Of detective stories, naturally.
** One particular episode turns into satire on TV court dramas (and trials in general) when all the characters put Magpie on trial to prove if she's a criminal or not. The episode spoofs everything from the court's protocols to surprise witnesses. Even the News report about the trial looks like a wrestling match poster.
* AnimalStereotypes: For the most part, but in some cases it's averted. For example, Gorilla is actually a very sweet and playful guy.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny:
** Hurra is very easily distracted whenever something fun is involved.
** Magpie, as you can guess, reacts this way every time she comes across shiny objects.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: With few rare exceptions (like the Zebra) none of the animals have shoes. However, most appear to get them during one episode, which is set in the winter during Christmas time.
* BerserkButton:
** Hurra gets ultra-frustrated whenever somebody mistakes him for an Otter.
** Humming-bird is angry whenever somebody calls him "tiny"... then again, he appears to have a berserk button about almost everything.
* BigEater: Hip-Hip, as well Missy the Ant, who's usually seen eating cakes ten sizes her size!
%%* BigGuyLittleGuy
%%* ButtMonkey: Hurra on occasion.
* CantTakeCriticism: Rose - who's usualy the most calm character on the show - gets hysterical (if not paranoid) by the mere thought of the art critic (the Peacock) not liking her art, to the point of having nightmares about it.
%%* ChristmasEpisode : There is one.
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
%%** Hurra!
%%** His girlfriend Kinga is even a bigger one.
%%* CluelessDetective: Two in fact!
* TheDitz: Every single character qualifies for this trope. Even if some appear to be smarter (Auntie Hen) or less zany (Rose) then the rest they still have at least few moments of true stupidity.
* ADogNamedDog: With some exceptions (Hip-Hip, Hurrah, Rose, Missy the Ant and Kinga), all animal characters are named after their species.
%%* FatAndSkinny: Hip-Hip and Hurra!
* FunnyForeigner: Mr. Bear's cousins Panda (from UsefulNotes/{{China}}) and Sloth Bear (from UsefulNotes/{{India}}).
%%* FunnySchizophrenia: Kinga
* FoodFight: One episode takes place during party at The Bears' house. Hurra accidentally throws a large cake at Polar bear, [[HilarityEnsues he grabs another cake in response, and...]]
%%* ImaginaryFriend: Adelka, Kinga's flower.
* InterspeciesRomance : Plenty. Hip-Hip (Hippopotamus) has a romance with Rose (a Giraffe). Hurra (a Weasel) has a Romance with Kinga (the Kangaroo) and the Crane has one with a Butterfly (don't ask).
* ItRunsInTheFamily: One episode focuses on the fact that all of Hip-Hip ancestors were detectives. His sister also turns out to be good at this.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Peacock. He may be a narcissistic jerk, but he can be both pleasant and helpful.
%%* GentleGiant: The Gorilla.
* HeavySleeper:
** Koala.
** Mr. Bear was shown to be this in one episode.
** Missy The Ant. Being asleep on the job is almost her trademark.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Hip-Hip and Hurra.
* HonoraryAunt: Auntie Hen is called "Aunt" by every character of the show, but she obviously isn't related to anyone in the show...
* HopelessSuitor: Hip-Hip. In fact, Rose likes him (or even has some romantic feelings about him). He just gets overpowered with being shy, so she never talks to him.
* HypocriticalHumor: In one episode, a beaver thinks a tree can talk. Upon seeing this, Kinga makes fun of him and asks her [[ImaginaryFriend flower friend Adelka]], if she's ever seen something so silly.
* LovableCoward: Hurra. (Hip-Hip has his moments as well).
* ManChild:
** Basically all of the characters, with exception of Auntie Hen.
** Kinga appears to be the biggest one in the second season. She's an adult but shares her house with her imaginary friend.
* {{Narcissist}}: The Peacock. He has an entire TV show dedicated to how awesome his tail is!
* NervousWreck: Hurra, whenever the mystery the characters are solving involves something scary (ghosts, for example).
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood : One episode centers on animals (Magpie, Coco bird) who's "evil actions" turn out to be motivated by natural instinct, therefore they can not be judged as "evil".
%%* PaperThinDisguise: Hip-Hip and Hurra use them a lot.
* ParentalBonus: A lot, though the show is mainly targeted for children 4-6 years old.
* StraightMan: Hip-Hip is the straight man to Hurra's much more wacky antics.
* ShoutOut:
** One episode is set during horse races. There is a Penguin who's is going around selling [[Film/ADayAtTheRaces1937 "tutsi fruitsi icecream"]], as he loudly announces.
** One episode is partly a parody of ''{{Film/Ghostbusters|1984}}''. Hip-Hip even quotes a line from the movie!
** In the same episode Hurra puts on a [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bat-Hurra]] near the end and says [[Film/Batman1989 "I'm Bat Hurra"]].
** In one episode, Hurra (angry for being mistaken for an Otter) yells "JAM ŁASICA!!!", which is the Polish title of WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel (and the latter character's catchphrase).
** Humming-bird's voice is an impression of character Józef Balcerek from the old Polish TV series ''Alternatywy 4''.
** In one episode, Hip-Hip and Hurra think that Missy the Ant can turn into a gigant. This leads to a dream sequence with a gigantic Missy the Ant roaming the town. At one point she looks into the window of Mrs. Gorilla, grabs her as she screams and carries her away in homage to the original ''Film/{{King Kong|1933}}''.
** The shot of Missy/Misia looking into the window is also reference to another famous shot from ''Film/JurassicPark''.
** The title of one of the episodes, "U Miśków na Urodzinach" (The birthday party at the Bears place"), refrences the Polish song "U Cioci na imieninach" (The nameday party at aunts place). The episode not only features the music from the song in the score, but at one point Missy the Ant hums it.
%%* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Mr. and Mrs. Mouse.
%%* ScooterRidingMod: The Gorilla is usually seen driving one.
* SweetTooth: Agian Hip-Hip. He just can't help himself from eating cakes and sweets.
* StalkerWithACrush:
** An early episode had Hip-Hip sneaking in Rose's garden so he could play her a romantic song as she was asleep. It gets pretty creepy, the more you think about it...
** Hurra was this in the first episode he met Kinga.
%%* PieInTheFace: See FoodFight above.
%%* PrivateDetective: Hip-Hip and Hurra.
%%* PowerTrio: Whenever Hip-Hip and Hurra are join by Misia/Missy the Ant.
* RealityWarper: It's a kind of world where the characters do this kind of stuff all the time, just for the sake of a joke. For example: In one episode, Hip-Hip needs to know what type of hair one ancestor had. In order to discover this, he asks a very old turtle to tell him the story of his ancestor. When the flashback appears and we can't see his ancestor's hair because hes wearing a hat, [[MindScrew Hip-Hip simply jumps into the flash-back and pulls the hat from his ancestor's head to see his hair]].
%%* TeamMom: Auntie Hen.
%%* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Hip-Hip and Rose, Hurra and Kinga.
* TitleDrop: [[OncePerEpisode Whenever they solve the mystery]], the main heroes yell their names out loud.
%%* {{Tomboy}}: Missy the Ant.
* OncePerEpisode: Hip-Hip and Hurra will yell their names.
* OnlySaneMan: Rose the Giraffe is usually this. She does have some {{Cloudcuckoolander}} moments here and there, however...
* ThievingMagpie: In one episode Hip-Hip and Hurra investigate series of crimes of shiny objects, which leads them to a Magpie. After being captured, the bird is put on a trial (with Hip-Hip as a judge), and at the end the animals learn that Magpie's stealing was motivated by her natural instinct, so she can't be held responsible for her actions.
%%* WackyGuy: Hurra, again.
%%* WorldOfFunnyAnimals
* VanityIsFeminine: While the Peacock has a very manly voice, his behavior is very feminine, especially his tendency to faint whenever his tail gets dirty.
