Ethelbert the Tiger is a children's animated TV Show. In each episode, Ethelbert, a friendly but naïve Indian tiger cub asks his wise human friend Dilip a question, often regarding morals, ethics or behaviour. The pair then set off on Dilip's raft through a magic waterfall which transports them to another part of the world. They invariably meet a new animal friend who can help answer the question and give Ethelbert a different perspective on life.
The programme's visual style is very colourful, not unlike silk painting or batik.
Ethelbert is depicted (unusually for a tiger) as a vegetarian, with a particular fondness for watermelon.
