Houba Houba Hop is the German cartoon of Marsupilami and his family, and their adventures with a couple of humans that are living in the Polombian Jungles with them for a year to study the local wild life: Hector, a young pre-teen boy with intelegence that'll envy the great inventors before him, and his Aunt Diane, who's a female "absent-minded proffesor" who prides her studies on the local plants. Mars and Hector are best friends, and there enemies are Felicia (though nothing like the Disney version, she'd be soulmates with Norman, especially with their common goal of turning the jungle sanctuary into an overcrowded city... if one can get the marsupilami out of the way) and her henchmen Blu Print (a short know-it-all who panics when his creations are tampered with) and Ollie Stroy (a former military demolitionist who hasn't retired from his weapons). They also have to deal with Bring M. Backalive, with his usual goal of smuggling a baby marsu out of the jungle.
