(1) K-3 Yearning for stardom, hippo Darlene takes a theater class. Unfortunately, things go wrong. Schwartz's straight-faced animal cast is stellar, but the show is stolen by the front-row-center theater critic (a wide-eyed bowler-wearing pig) and by modestly undivalike Darlene. It's a nice lesson for young kids: you can make mistakes and still be a star.
