It's 10+ years since Pingu was released and about 2 years ago I was scrolling through Netflix's children's shows and we happened to see this. My 2 year old daughter saw the penguin and instantly asked to watch. I figured why not and wow was I surprised. This show is amazing. My daughter was instantly hooked and would only ask to watch it and I would love it because I enjoy every episode. My daughter is now 4 and she now has a sister who's two. She introduced her sister to Pingu and it is the ONLY show the two of them can sit down and watch together without one or the other walking away. My youngest loves to randomly do the Pingu noise (I can't even type how it sounds but if you watch the show you'll know exactly what I mean). To add to that, the show teaches so much about life and treating others well. My kids have learned a lot of valuable lessons from Pingu and yours can too. Don't hesitate to try this out!
... View MoreMovies are like any other art. There are movies for any age that tease the mind, expand the cognitive arena, are when all is said: art. A parent owes it to a child to expose them to art, even if the child has fun.Then there amusements derived from art, imitations that do not have these qualities. They occupy, often pleasantly. But there is no middle ground with children, if you are not allowing them to grow through art, you are forcing them to shrink.This little collection of ditties is not art. "The Muppet Movie" is. Any Pixar project is. This isn't.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
... View MoreWhen I was really young I didn't know anything about the Arctic or penguins, I just liked to watch a very good children's show. This is a show with very short episodes about the gibberish talking penguin, Pingu and his family and friends. They have many weird and wonderful adventures and stories. Some of the best examples are those that make you laugh and have a nice ending. Some of the best short stories include: Pingu and Pinga home alone, Pingu runs away, Pingu and his friend build their own igloo, Pingu goes to the dentist, Pingu wants to play with his ball, Pingu and Pinga make popcorn, and Pingu pisses on the floor! Very good for a laugh and as a kid!
... View MorePingu is a young penguin from the South Pole. He lives with his mother and father-the local postman and younger sister, Pinga. Pingu just loves to play, but he is rather mischievous. When he's not playing he likes to help his father with the post. Like most little sisters, Pinga never misses a chance to tease Pingu. But they still enjoy playing together sometimes. Robby the Seal is one of Pingu's best friends. Whether they're fishing or just playing hide and seek, they always have great adventures. Pingu teaches children lessons of life. In each episode the benefits of co-operation, and good behaviour are stressed. The negative consequences of greediness, teasing and disobediance are explained to younger viewers through Pingu's actions. I highly recommend that you watch Pingu - he appeals to all age groups - from children, who like the animations (and the trouble that Pingu gets up to) to teenagers and adults, who can appreciate the pathos and humour in the series.
