Preschool stop-frame animation about Pingu, a cheeky young penguin who is always up to mischief, finding himself in comical situations in the snowy world in which he lives. Pingu's companions include his baby sister Pinga, his best friend Robby the Seal, his caring mother and his father, who is the local postman. Pingu's mother is out with her friends, leaving Pingu to look after the twins. This wears him out so much that he gets very tired, but luckily he manages to think up a way to stay awake.
