The show was first aired on Ketnet, a Flemish television channel, in 2000, and became popular soon afterward. Currently, the show has been aired in 31 countries.

Each mini-episode is about five minutes. There is no dialogue, except for Hopla saying his own name. The show is aimed for kids of ages between 0-2 years. In Belgium alone, Hopla's home entertainment titles have sold over 300,000 copies and their book-related merchandise has garnered sales close to 700,000.
