This is it. We have surpassed all other forms of human entertainment. This claymation penguin has tapped into a well of pure art that will never run dry. This is your life. And it will never, Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverrr, be the same, again.

Netflix has its share of undiscovered foreign offerings (YouTube also knows a thing or two about dark corners), but "Pingu" is worth the dice roll. I love the dialogue (even though I have no idea how they come up with that wonderful gibberish language) and the claymation has its own physically comedic charm. I'm a cynical adult and I can watch this with my kid any time of the day, which is not something I'd say often about children's TV. There's surprising entertainment value in hearing a clay penguin squeal, "Noot Noot!". Thirty years old, and it's still fresh.I love this stuff.8/10

Pingu portrays real human emotions, which made it fun to watch. It is educational without the norm of ABC's and 123. at the end of each episode, one could grasp the moral lesson that eventually surfaces in the episode. for example, the one episode where pingu refuses to help his mom and wanted to spend the day playing outside, but at the end of the day, he came back home and helped his mom to clean the floor. this is how pingu brings up the educational part, which plays a big role in our daily human life. It deals with family problems and relationship between a brother and a younger sister. it is real, and not in any way made up or fake, which is why as an adult, i caught myself watching all of the episodes on youtube. yes pingu is naughty, and "noot noot" at each dissatisfaction, but this animation is very unique that it doesn't make the moral lessons obvious... if you watch it carefully, you will then know what it is all about... for a kid, it is indeed enjoyable because how pingu reacts and how his parents then response to him... well it is like how we humans are. i give this 10/10 because by far, no cartoon animation has made me watch it for whole day long... not even the simpsons or the family guy, though i don't understand penguinese... but "ama caprada forday" anyway.

Not much needs to be said, really. Pingu is a sweet, adorable little show which has shaped an entire generation of kids. The plot lines are simple, the characters very cute and likable, the claymation charming and the beaks ludicrously stretchable. The show's brilliance lies in its almost ridiculous, brain-comforting simplicity which the smallest child can enjoy. It is also impervious to soccer mums; they can't attack it because there's nothing to attack - they can't create gay rumours about the main character, for example (poor SpongeBob). Writing a twelve paragraph review about Pingu would be the ultimate exercise in futility. Pingu is what it is - sweet, simple, adorable, innocent, and utterly brilliant. 10 meeps out of 10.
