Pat et Stanley () represents a French animated television series developed by Pierre Coffin and produced under the Mac Guff banner. It was broadcast on the children's segment TFOU on TF1. The collection comprises 39 brief episodes alongside a 26-minute feature film titled Pat et Stanley: Le Trésor de Pit et Mortimer (2006).
The characters achieved global fame following a viral video clip showcasing Pat performing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", which was incorporated into a commercial campaign for Ferrero's Kinder chocolates in Italy. Additionally, the franchise inspired the creation of a "Happy Hippo" chocolate treat by the same brand. English-language versions were aired internationally, including on UK channels CITV and Pop, as well as in the United States on Kids' WB (later rebranded as The CW4Kids and Toonzai) and within Cartoon Network's shorts lineup. Dutch adaptations were shown on Jetix and Ketnet.
In 2008, ITV secured broadcasting rights to air and rebroadcast the series on CITV in the United Kingdom, covering all existing formats such as 350 short episodes and the 30-minute special Treasure Hunt. The newest 39-episode installment was planned for release during spring 2009 on CITV, with intentions to distribute the shorts digitally.
