Lots of fun from the South Pole!

If my generation has Rudolph for their holiday entertainment it may just be that Connor's generation has Pingu. There is something about Penguins they are just so stinking cute and combine that with modern looking clay style animation you have something really special.

Pingu's South Pole Adventures includes eight Pingu episodes. Most of which involve Pingu getting himself in trouble or attempting to get someone else out of trouble. heh. Sounds a little like every little boy I know. My favorite is the Pingu Boogaloo episode. Pingu has a favorite song and he just can't stop dancing to it. Watching him dance is worth the entire dvd as you will find yourself rewinding it over and over. Watching Pingu dance is hillarious he flails his little penguin wings, bops up and down flattening his round little tush on the ground, and flaps his feet.

Really the only problem with Pingu is you may find yourself attempting to "talk" like him. Pingu and his family speak some sort of weird Penguin language that you may not understand outright but its more than obvious whats going on. heh. It kind of sounds something like how Connor talks so maybe he understands these guys?

Enjoy a little Pingu teaser :

  40. Happy Feet is the only penguin story I've watched/heard of! My son loved it inside the womb while I was pregnant and I think he really remembers because when he dances (now 21 months old) he does a lil' tap dance.
