Description:

The 3D animated TV show Viva Piñata follows the wacky, zany, anything-can-happen adventures of the colourful animals on Piñata Island. The happy, colourful Piñatas live the sweet life, frolicking, dancing and filling themselves up with the most delicious goodies a child could ever want! They eagerly await the glorious day when they are chosen to attend birthday parties or special celebrations all over the world, bringing joy, treats, and tons o’ fun to kids of all ages. The lovable characters took their fans hearts by storm, e.g. the horse Hudson Horstachio – the popular Piñata superstar, who loves dancing – or Fergy Fudgehog – the anxious hedgehog, who’s panic-stricken when he only hears the word ‘party’ – or Ella Elephanilla – world’s most forgetful elephant.
