ABOUT
Pingu was born in 1980,
by the plasticine
brainchild of
animators Otmar Gutmann
and Harald Muecke.
Ever since Pingu made his first
appearance in several short
episodes,
it has starred in a
pilot movie that was developed
in 1986 for Swiss TV
and followed its success.
Adored for 30 years, Pingu has achieved
worldwide recognition
and universal
appeal with his unique "Penguinese" language that needs no translation.
His fondness for turning his beak into a trumpet lets us know whether he is happy or sad.
This is one penguin who wears his heart on his flipper!
And now, the globally adored, Swiss-born character Pingu is returning to television
with new stories and new characters.
This fresh, fun series brings the cheeky penguin and his world back to life using 3D computer graphics, totally recreating the texture of the original Claymation, which began in the 1980s.
