Production notes
Animated with latex puppets in three-dimensional backgrounds.
Hilltop Hospital is a pre-school medical soap opera with more bounce than a baby bunny. It's a hit with under-five doctors and nurses everywhere, because Hilltop is a hospital run for animals by animals. The dedicated staff ought to fight like cats and dogs, but they pull together to cope with the heart-rending and the hilarious. It's all in a day's work at Hilltop.
