Pingu is a series of 5 minute animated films made by Tricksfilm Studios in Switzerland.
Pingu is a young penguin (made of plasticene)who lives in an igloo with his mother, his father (a postman)and his baby sister Pinga.
The house is in a small village on the ice cap with shops, a theatre, a skating rink and some ice sculptures.
Their transport has a caterpillar track, a large bulb horn and a luggage rack on the back (don't know what it runs on though)
Pingu's trademarks are stretching up and down to drastic heights when excited and of pursing his beak like a trumpet and going "Meek-Meek" to herald his arrival.
Classic Episodes include "New Arrival" where Pingu gets his baby sister. The best bits are when the parents stretch their wings and tails out to stop Pingu seeing the midwife, who carefully strokes the egg with a large sppon before cracking it open.
Also "Little Accidents" where Pingu gives his sister too much squash and he then desperately needs the loo as well.

In case youre wondering, a sppon is a newly invented Swiss medical device but of course I meant Spoon
