Summary: Pingu is God
Review: All right, seeing as how amazon has failed to provide a decent explanation as to what Pingu is, it's 'splaining time for me. Pingu focuses on the adventures of Pingu himself, a lovable little claymation penguin who is the cutest thing you will ever see to come out of the world of clay. Aside for maybe Gumby. But Gumby wasn't cute. He was just...weird. But Pingu is cute. And cool. And he plays the accordion. I'm 14 and I love Pingu. Everyone should love Pingu. Buy this DVD and support the greatest show of all time. It has no dialogue, it has no human characters, but that doesn't stop it from being totally awesome. Pingu makes the coolest noises too.

Summary: Clay and Ice.
Review: Being a penguin fanatic, my sister bought this DVD for me for Christmas. I wasn't for sure what to think of it originally, but came to really enjoy the DVD after watching it.Pingu is a young penguin and he and everything in his world are created through claymation (the type of animation responsible for WALLACE AND GROMIT, GUMBY, CHICKEN RUN). The stories on the DVD involve Pingu and his friends and family as they go about the daily tasks of their lives. Unlike most claymation shows, there is no literal dialogue: the creatures all speak a type of mumbling that is called Pengeese. There are six episodes on the DVD. "Pingu Goes Fishing"--in this episode Pingu has his first encounter with a young seal named Robbie who becomes his best friend. "Pingu Helps to Deliver the Mail"--in this episode Pingu helps his father deliver the mail in their small village. "Pingu Plays Fish Tennis"--in this episode Pingu and Robbie are bored and end up playing a game of fish tennis. "Pingu Gets a Bike"--in this episode Pingu's father runs over Pinga's (Pingu's little sister) bike. She cries and cries and cries until Pingu gives her his bike. Good lesson in sharing. "Pingu at the Nursery"--Pingu takes Pinga to school at the nursery. "Pingu and the Organ Grinder"--the poor Organ Grinder who lives on the outskirts of town is having a difficult time making a living. No one pays attention to him or his music. Pingu loves his music and decides to help the Organ Grinder. Overall, I found this DVD to be highly entertaing. The whole DVD is a little over 30 minutes and can be easily watched in one setting. My favorite episode was "Pingu and the Organ Grinder"; I found it to be touching and reminded me of how much I love my grandparents. This is a great DVD to watch with younger children and makes an excellent gift for any penguin or claymation fans.

Summary: A terrible DVD edition ruins a great series.
Review: First off I just want to say the my son loves Pingu. The problem I have with this Cd is how poorly packaged this is... No Menu
No Chapter selection.
It's impossible to choose between eposodes and if you go past the last one it stops the DVD and you have to put up with the stupid FBI/Interpol warnings. Bottom line: I'd wait until a better edition comes out or start off with "Chillin' with Pingu" (also sold on Amazon) which actually has a menu. Note: We rented a DVD at Blockbuster called "Introducing Pengu" which was a better deal than this one (more episodes and an actual menu) so hint hint Amazon - sell that version instead. Shame on Hit Ebntertainment...

Summary: Pingu is a Poor Pathetic penguin without a prayer.
Review: I brought this dvd and it is totally unacceptable the storylines have no depth and the characters are 2-dimensional. I can't comprehend how such a monstrosity of a dvd has been allowed to go on sale. All in All it is a terrible story based on poor charachters and a huge lack of plot it is diabolical and anyone who watches it is a sad prior and should be spurned aside like a cur.

Review: I remember first seeing this on Tv when my children were 6 and 2 in the state of Washington. We have since moved to Louisiana, and I haven't seen it on TV at all. My children are now 11 and 7. I went to Walmart and looked at the special DVD's on sale and by chance saw this DVD. I purchased it yesterday, and since then the children have watched it at least 10 times. Of course, I couldn't help watching the antics of this funny creature, and remember now how fun it was to watch. I am now trying to find out where to buy more DVD's from Pingu. One can do a search and find a couple of sites where info is available on products about Pingu. Unfortunately, nothing much is available here in the USA, but if you want to, one can get Pingu Dvd's for a hefty price (due to s&h)from overseas in the UK. For anybody who wants something refreshing for good entertainment for kids from 1 to 100, Pingu is the one to watch!! You can't go wrong with this one!! D. Tolbert

Summary: More Pingu Please
Review: It's highly unlikely that the Pygos Group intended this stop-frame claymation series to be an exercise in surrealism, but the world of Pingu is a fine introductory example of abstract logic. Taking place in the Antarctic, the adventures of Pingu center around a young penguin who lives in a small village with his family. Often accompanied by his best friend -- a somewhat sadistic seal named Robbie -- Pingu finds himself in a series of germane situations that are cosmopolitan enough to apply to any of us, which makes us feel all the better whenever he eventually triumphs. One particularly notable detail of the series is that there is no literary component whatsoever; all of the characters speak in a sort of complex gibberish known as Penguinese, which relies on expressiveness and context more than phonetics. This 30 minute "best of" is a delightfully entertaining addition to any video collection, and it's sheer absurdity will drive even the most stoic and sardonic of grown-ups into fits of uncontrollable laughter.

Review: Love it! My daughter who is 20 months just loves Pingu! She's dances and laughs at it. It's very entertaining for her and the DVD has 10 minute stories. Short and very cute! My husband and I like how different it is animation-wise. I wish there were more Pingu DVD's out there!
