KING HIPPO'S WORLD is a cartoon which takes place on the colorful and exciting island of "Hipponia" where the inhabitants sing songs, learn important lessons and have lots of fun filled adventures. Aside from the colorful and hilarious main characters, there are talking trees, wise cracking fish and many other wonderful things. The show's characters are advised and guided by the King Hippo and the guitar playing Jon Nelson, friends to all on the island. Every so often, "special guests" will row onto the Island (teachers, authors, actors, musicians, etc) and take part in the episode. At the end of each episode, the "Island Band" will perform a song recapping any particular lessons learned that day.

The goal of the show is to transport children (and their parents) to a magical, musical place where hippos, fish and ducks sing, and where the colorful characters espouse good values and ideas. Jon Nelson and his "Island Band" teach the concepts of diversity and teamwork through music.

Jon Nelson, will take the Island Band "on the road" to wherever the show is seen. Kids all over the country will be able to see their favorite songs and

"King Hippos World" characters "LIVE"!
