I am no Pingu expert. I own one of the first Pingu DVDs and my kids love it. But something has happened to Pingu since. The whole "feel" of the cartoon has changed. It is as if it underwent some "hollywoodization". I wonder if the franchise has changed owners since. There seem to be more frequent cuts, the scenes change in a more rapid sequence, the characters are moving faster, seem to be less "cute", becoming more of "action characters". I miss the the old Pingu.

I have to agree with the other reviewers. We have the first two Pingu DVD's and this one is not the same. It seems to be slicker....I miss the old Pingu with the original music and the clunkier animation. This one doesn't have nearly the charm.

Everyone that has seen the first two Pingus movies (ages 3 to 52) has really liked them a lot. This new one wasn't recieved as well. Its much faster paced and Pingu is not as sweet as he used to be.

I bought 3 videos for my kids 2 to 4, years old. Butu unfortunately this is not the original pingu. They supposely have improved the the filming and animation but actually they have complpetely lost the spirit and charm of the original pingu's.

Pingu is the silliest non english speaking penguin ever. His ordeals are real and relatable to toddlers. my three old laughs hysterically everytime he watches it. It's not just pure mindless entertainment, if you watch it with your child you will see it instills very good life lessons and family values along with it's funny nature. Although they speak some jibberish language the context is clear and fun for kids.

I was used to watching "Meet Pingu" and "Chillin' with Pingu" with my little girl. I thought we could use a change, so we watched "On Thin Ice." The first two we could watch over and over again. My little girl didn't care that it was the same thing over and over, and surprisingly, neither did I. I still smiled at the same parts, still laughed, still said, "aw!" during the sweet moments. I don't even know how to explain all the changes that occurred for "On Thin Ice." I didn't feel anything. None of the stories evoked any response in me at all. Soulless and hollow. That wasn't the Pingu we'd grown to love. So, please, if you're going to get just one or two Pingu DVDs, avoid "On Thin Ice" and go for the best.

PINGU ROCKS BUT THIS DVD, AS ITS OTHER "NEW" DVDS, IS A REPEATITION OF ITS PREVIOUS ONES. ARRIVED ON TIME, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

Pingu is great for little ones. Actions speak louder than words and these short cartoons are quite entertaining and very well done. Kudos to the creators of it.

my 2 year old love this video, it's simple and funny, wonderful for small kids.

I found Pingu clips online while looking for real penguin footage, and my six year old screamed with laughter. We got this and another Pingu DVD. Both are huge laughs, and we adults love watching them, too.

I know some people complain about how the video starts, or the lack of extras, but my son is no cinema snob; he pops it in and laughs for half an hour or so. He likes to watch it again and again, it goes away for a month, and then comes out for a few more weeks. It is funny, well done, clean and there are no adverts.
