Cartoon Hippo on a Theatrical Stage

Cartoon style hippo performing on a theater stage. A plump, friendly hippo stands center stage under a warm golden spotlight, wearing a bright purple bow tie and a tiny top hat tilted jauntily, with a big cheerful grin and oversized round eyes. The stage features red velvet curtains drawn to the sides with ornate gold trim, and a vintage microphone on a stand in front of the hippo. The audience is a colorful mix of animals seated in plush rows, clapping and smiling. Bold black outlines, vivid flat colors, and exaggerated cartoon features give a classic children’s-book feel. Slight motion lines suggest singing or dancing, with soft stage shadows and a magical glow around the scene.
