Willy And Hugh

Description

An odd couple story of an unliklely friendship. Willy the chimp is lonely, but then he bumps into the gorilla Hugh Jape, and though the two of them are different, a touching friendship grows between them. Hugh protects little Willy from the attentions of Buster Nose, and Willy can read to Hugh and save the day when a hairy spider comes along!
