Editorial Reviews

Who is Pingu™? He’s a charming and cheeky young penguin who lives in the snow and ice of the South Pole. Often finding himself in tricky and comical situations, the mischievous penguin meets the challenges of life head on, as he grows into a cooler and wiser penguin along the way. The award-winning, stop-frame claymation show appeals to millions of fans worldwide. Pingu has fun chillin’ with his family and friends at their Arctic home, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the cool adventures of this humorous penguin. Penguins have feelings too, and Pingu experiences the joys and frustrations of kids everywhere in these fun-filled stories. But sometimes things get out of hand ad the mischievous little penguin goes from one "ice-capade" to another! Approx. Run Time: 40 minutes

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of laughs for all ages, June 30, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Chillin' With Pingu (DVD)

We got this DVD yesterday and sat down to watch it. My 5 year old laughed through a lot of the episodes. It's a better DVD than "Meet Pingu" but I would buy both. Some of the episodes show Pinga's birth and when she was a baby. There are 8 episodes in all. Plus there are 5 bonus HIT Entertainment episodes of other shows, such as "Angelina Ballerina" and "Rubber Dubbers" which is an animated show from the UK that is like Toy Story in the tub. A great value for the money and funny for all ages.

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical before I rented my first Pingu video. But not only does my toddler love the claymation, my older ones do too - and even I got a kick out of them. Funny and universal due to no language used, I've even recommended them for my toddler neice who is half Japanese and can barely understand any English yet. Being able to tell a good story is wonderful, being able to tell a good story that older and younger both appreciate is even better - and being able to tell a good story without using words of any kind is just...wow! I'm impressed. Not only is Pingu cute, his stories are fun and educational! Now we've purchased all available and are eagerly waiting for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars the better packaged of the 2 US DVDs, July 12, 2004

This review is from: Chillin' With Pingu (DVD)

Ok well HIT almost got this one right but I think the bonus stuff is annoying and it tells me HIT is short-changing the fans of Pingu to push other product. To me, as my son could care less about the "bonus features", this just means less Pingu on the DVD.

Given the poor options available in the US. I'd say start here before you buy the tryuly atrociously packaged but never-the-less worthwhile "Meet Pingu" as this one (thanks to the menu) will spare your sanity.

Having said that, Pingu is a wonderful stop-motion series from Swizerland that really desreves a better release in the states. Pingu and his friends are charming and the stories don't talk down to kids. Your kids will love it!

I only wish the people at HIT Entertainment loved it too.
