Hilltop Hospital, is the animated puppet series created with the stop frame technique by Eva, Folimage, Siriol, France, Canal J, directed by Pascal Le Notre and is broadcast on Rai due, from Monday to Friday, at 8,05am. Hilltop Hospital consists of 39 episodes lasting 10 minutes each. The animation made in plasticine, has animals (puppets) as protagonists, with widely humanized characteristics and is taken from Nicholas Allen's children's books. Inside the Hilltop hospital the activity of doctors and nurses is intertwined with the small and big daily vicissitudes - for example the birth of a child - creating an affectionate and friendly atmosphere around the patients. So much so that in the episode "The Great Event", the good-natured Dr. Matthews (a dog), the diligent and gracious nurse Kitty (a cat), the efficient and nice obstetrician Sally (a hippo) and finally the sleepyhead Dr. Atticus (a turtle), they help Mrs Hindianapolis (an elephant) to give birth. But they will also know how to devote the right attention to the little elephant Virdy, affection of "prenatal slaughter".
In fact, the little one feels threatened by the imminent arrival of his little brother (especially if it is a girl), because he is afraid that his parents may neglect him. Of course everything will work out for the best and, not only Virdi will be delighted to have a little sister, but Dr. Matthews and Kitti will be able to enjoy a few moments of relaxation in front of a nice cup of steaming tea. Hilltop Hospital has a clear educational and didactic intent, as it aims to make known and understood in the simplest way the function of medical equipment and the importance of this profession, but above all the family and emotional dynamics that arise from time to time , according to the circumstances. Overall pleasant and particularly suitable for children between 3 and 5 years.
