Pingu Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Mr-Fusion 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
Jeffrey Poehlmann The Pingu shorts are among some of the best "children's" programming on television but are by no means simply for children. Aside from being wonderfully entertaining, they are rich with emotion and are one of the best language tools I have seen. By this, I mean that it teaches the understanding of language and communication without the need for actual discernible words — there is no difficulty in figuring out what the penguins are "talking" about, what the story is, how characters are feeling, etc., because the meaning comes through clearly in intonations and gestures. It is a smart show, it is never condescending to its audience, and I wish I had discovered it much earlier.
sable-9 My son (3yrs old) loves this, may not be in English, but the message still gets through. Great use of humour to teach lessons to wee ones. Oh, and the penguins are incredibly cute! Pingu is a small but very smart penguin, but likes to get into trouble. He also likes to help as most youngsters do given half a chance, there are some instances of helping that arises from Pingu's play time. Another where he helps another member of his community to get some food. The animation is actually very good especially considering how long ago it was made. In New Zealand this shows on "Playhouse Disney" channel and is one of the more popular shows with my 2 wee boys. In my opinion it is as good as Bob the Builder and Little Einsteins.
Remeud Pingu 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.
