Description

An old toon i have watched when i was a kid.
Pingu the penguim.
Pingu was a BAFTA award-winning British-Swiss stop-motion claymated television series created by Otmar Gutmann. The series was produced by The Pygos Group and Trickfilmstudio for Swiss television, and centers on a family of anthropomorphic penguins living at the South Pole. The main character is the family's son and title character, Pingu. The show was made by HiT Entertainment and HoT Animation, British companies, from seasons 5-6.
The show originally ran for fourteen seasons from 28 May 1986 to 9 April 2000 on SF DRS. In 2001, there were 2 Pingu episodes made (one of them being "Pingu & the Doll") that did not air during the original run. The episodes were run later, in 2000, as part of a Pingu marathon. HiT Entertainment's request for more episodes convinced Pygos to bring back the show in 1998, with two more series. Of note, season 1 (1986-1990) and season 2 (1991-1994) were run consecutively but took 4 years for each season to complete, while season 3 (1995-1996) and season 4 (1998-2000) took 2 and 3 years to complete - the show was not cancelled in between. To this day, Pingu maintains a cult following.
