JimmyBo Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I'm sending in my money now! I feel sorry for these hippos and I think they need to join the Happy Hippos in It's a Small World. Plus, instead of a rolling boulder coming at you on Indiana Jones, imagine a giant Hippo rolling at you. I think I would like to see an artist rendering of that!

raptor6 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 HAHA! That's awesome! I laughed through the whole video. Â If that makes me a big bad hippo hater, then so be it!
Jay20016 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I'm not an animal hater, nor lover.... but all I'm saying is if they didn't wiggle their ears and shoot planes out of the sky, then maybe this whole ordeal could've been avoided. Â They, like Han Solo, shot first.
BeemerBoy Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 When we're finished saving hippos, will someone please go feed that starving dog at the Haunted Mansion?
Brandy524 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 So moving! Poor hippos, they only want a chance to live free!
netdvn Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Sorry to say this, but I don't support this cause. Â Saving silly animatronic hippos from certain doom doesn't really appeal to me that much. I've already donated too much money to more important causes (like saving a certain Giant Inverted Boomerang from certain doom, allowing a certain wolf-themed stand up coaster to live a few more years in it's home, facilitating the transport of a wooden coaster from a theme park that almost failed to someone's backyard via pickup truck, and protecting prairie dogs from certain death from chocolate floods). Â The hippos are being killed off because they are reproducing at a rapid rate of speed, invading the homes of other local species, and generally causing trouble to the people in that area. Once the hippo population has been reduced to safe levels, the hunting will stop. Â People don't realize how dangerous hippos really are.
Jojo19799 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 What about the hippos at WDW?? They need saving too!!!!
J man Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 ^We are currently considering future plans of expanding the organization to Orlando. OAHCS has a ring to it. Â [edit] I personally want to thank everyone who has watched the PSA, forwarded it to a friend, and played along. It's been a great success so far. Keep it up!!! However, I've seen some borderline offensive comments posted about me and the video on other forums from people who didn't get the joke. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everyone here on this forum for getting the joke and running with it. It's been great fun for me reading all your comments. Thanks again!

I thought your cause was for real. You even have a .org website. That means your a non-profit. I expect those animatronic hippos to be saved!

Director_Guy Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 The hippos are being killed off because they are reproducing at a rapid rate of speed, invading the homes of other local species, and generally causing trouble to the people in that area. Once the hippo population has been reduced to safe levels, the hunting will stop. Â People don't realize how dangerous hippos really are. Â The "hunting" (aka brutal slaughter) has been going on for 50+ years now, when will it end? If you believe it's to control the numbers, you've got another thing coming, friend. And there are no regulations for animatronic hippo hunting in those rivers, either. Anyone with a cap gun can go out and shoot any damn hippo they want. Â And by the way, there are twenty times more animatronic birds than hippos roaming about. I don't see anyone doing anything about them.
BeemerBoy Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 However, I've seen some borderline offensive comments posted about me and the video on other forums from people who didn't get the joke. Speaking of which, this is the best thing I've seen posted in your defense elsewhere....
robbalvey Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I've seen some borderline offensive comments posted about me and the video on other forums from people who didn't get the joke. Welcome to my world, Jeremy! Â You have haters when you've done something they are jealous of...meaning...congrats on your success!
harper83087 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 How can people not get the joke? Do they not understand what "animitronic" means? I thought it was hilarious and the video was very well put together and hope to see more from you in the future
cfc Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I think Groucho sums up the attitudes of many people: Â Â Remember: SAVE THE ANIMATRONIC HIPPOS!
the ghost Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Is there a facebook page for this by any chance?
Schotcher Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 ^I hope the hippos eat you. Â Episode VI: Animatronic Hippos Strike Back?

Thanks again!  Yeah, I'm a mod on that "other" site, and we all thought it was pretty ridiculous too. Some people take things WAY too seriously.  The ones that matter loved it!!!
BaMiTsPaT Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 This was an awesome satirical look at the Hippos of Jungle Cruise. This is one of my favorite rides, and I think you did an awesome job!
DougMJr Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Save the hippos! I find it absolutely horrible the living conditions these beautiful creatures have to live in. Being shot at more than Mr. Fiddy Cent on a daily basis! I can't believe that this has not hit any major news networks yet.
XYZ Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Doesn't anyone know it is a joke, everyone is being too serious.
