Preschool stop-frame animation. Pingu is a cheeky young penguin who is always finding himself in comical situations in the snowy world in which he lives. Pingu's companions include his sister Pinga, his friend Robby the Seal, his caring mother and his father who is the local postman. Pingu and Pinga, at home alone, feel hungry and so try to cook. Although their culinary attempts almost always end in a disaster, they do manage to clear up the mess they have made before their parents return.
