English Summary:
Hugo the Hippo (Hungarian: Hugó, a víziló) is a 1975 animated film produced by the Pannónia Filmstúdió of Hungary and co-produced in the United States by Brut Productions, a division of French perfume company Faberge
The harbor of Zanzibar becomes infested with a group of vicious sharks, which makes it impossible for trading ships to dock. In an attempt to fix the problem, the Sultan charges his advisor, Aban-Khan, to bring twelve hippos from Africa into the harbor to keep the sharks away. His idea works well enough, but once the hippos are no longer a novelty and the people no longer feed them, they begin to starve. After the hungry hippos rampage through the city looking for food, Aban-Khan viciously slaughters all the hippos except one, a little baby hippo named Hugo. Hugo escapes across the sea to the city of Dar es Salaam, on the African mainland.

A Zanzibár szigeti kikötőben a cápák állandóan akadályozzák a kikötői munkásokat. A sziget uralkodója azon töri a fejét, hogy lehetne a helyzetet megoldani. Este egy víziló alakú csillagképet lát az égen, így Aban kánt és csapatát elküldi, hogy keressenek vízilovakat, hogy ők segíthessenek a cápák elleni harcban. A terv sikerül, így fellendül a sziget élete, s a vízilovak hamar fölöslegessé válnak.
Elhatározzák, hogy elpusztítják őket. Mindössze egy víziló marad életben, Hugó, akit gyerekek próbálnak megvédeni.
