The animated adventures of Pingu, the clumsy young penguin who is often misunderstood. Everyone except Pingu is entering the local ice sculpture contest. Pingu wants to play instead, and tries to distract Robby from his masterpiece by throwing snowballs. When a snowball hits the sculpture and makes it look bug-eyed, Pingu and Robby start to compete, making more and more freaky shapes. Soon they're working together on the weirdest sculpture of all, and eventually beat Father and Pinga to take first prize in the contest.
