13	[[caption-width-right:350:These 'pets' have a secret - and it's totally wild!]]
14
15	''Zip Zip'' is a French 2D animated series from GO-N Productions, which began airing in 2015 on France 3 and is shown elsewhere on Disney Channel. Aside from Australia, [[Main/NoExportForYou it has yet to be transmitted to English-speaking countries]].
16
17	Washington the fox, Sam the wild boar, his little sister Eugenie, and Suzie the blackbird have grown tired of living rough in the wilderness, and yearn for the creature comforts of the suburbs. However, they soon find animal control hot on their trail, and thanks to Wash's quick thinking, the group slip on some zip-up animal costumes so they can pass themselves off as domesticated pets.
18
19	They manage to convince the Livingstones, a young animal-loving couple, to take them in, much to the chagrin of the Livingstones' housecat Victoria, who finds her pampered existence turned upside down by these impostors. HilarityEnsues as the gang learn to adjust to suburban life whilst trying to keep their wild instincts under control in their new surroundings.
20	-----
21	!!!This show provides examples of:
22	* AssInALionSkin: Washington, Sam, Eugenie and Suzie wear dog, cat, rabbit and canary costumes, respectively.
23	* BigEater: Sam eats a lot. Well, he ''is'' a wild boar, after all.
24	* BearsAreBadNews: Mitch the bear, the gang's Jerkass neighbor from the woods and a recurring antagonist, who is one of the reasons they decided to move out.
25	%% * CatsAreMean: Victoria, though she becomes more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold once she starting warming up to the gang. Played straight with Fluffy and Nugget, though.
26	%% * CatsAreSnarkers: Victoria again.
27	%% ZCE again.
28	* ChoosyBeggar: In "Rained In", Washington's having a bad PottyEmergency and refuses to relieve himself outside because it's too rainy. Suzie and Victoria refuse to let him use their own toilets, so Washington briefly considers using Sam's litter box. He decides [[WouldRatherSuffer he'd rather keep holding it than use that filthy thing]], even though it's the only other immediate option.
29	%% * CloudCuckoolander:
30	%% ** Suzie is probably the most out there.
31	%% ** The Livingstones tend to be quite zany as well.
32	* CunningLikeAFox: Washington the fox is the animals' leader and brains of the operation.
33	* DoubleDoubleTitle: ''Zip Zip''.
34	* GuiltByAssociationGag: One episode starts with animal control taking the wild animals away. They take Victoria as well because they believe that any animal who associates with wild ones must be wild as well.
35	%% * HappilyMarried: The Livingstones.
36	* HilarityEnsues: A lot of the show's humour derives from the animals' attempts to act like domestic creatures, all the while [[MyInstinctsAreShowing struggling to keep their wild instincts from being detected.]]
37	%% * MailmanVsDog: Invoked by Washington in order to make his dog act more convincing.
38	* MeaningfulName: Mr. Snubinski is a very snobbish human.
39	%% * NeatFreak: The veterinarian, when he was first seen. They ditched this trope in his later appearances, for some reason.
40	* OriginsEpisode: Season 2 ends with a two-part episode that has flashbacks of how the wild animals joined the Livingstone household.
41	* PaperThinDisguise: The wild animals' disguises have zippers and don't match the colors of their faces but no human sees through them.
42	* PsychopathicManChild: Mitch, who behaves like a six-year old and has a nasty HairTriggerTemper to boot.
43	* {{Slapstick}}: Victoria is often the brunt of the show's physical comedy.
44	%% * ThickLineAnimation
45	%% * UpperClassTwit: Alvarez, a dog who is owned by [[MeaningfulName Mr. Snubinski]], an equally snobbish human.
46	%%
47	%% Upper class twit is not only snobbish
48	%%
49	* WoodlandCreatures: The four main characters, who traded their rough life in the forest for simpler domestic living.
