Chillin' With Pingu

Summary: the better packaged of the 2 US DVDs
Review: 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.

Summary: Lots of laughs for all ages
Review: 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.
