Meet Pingu and Friends

Loved by parents and children alike, Pingu has been a regular fixture on kids’ TV screens since 1986. A cheeky little chap, there’s nothing Pingu likes more than having some fun on an Antarctic adventure. And he’s always got his friends and family to teach him valuable life lessons.

There’s no ‘like father, like son’ when it comes to Pingu’s Daddy. He’s a sensible postman who spends his spare time making toys for his beloved children. He uses his sled to drop off the mail, and take his family out on day trips. Family is the most important thing to Pingu’s Daddy. And, while Pingu and Pinga might get a telling off every now and again, he’s always there to save the day.

Pingu’s Mommy is loving and devoted, even when Pingu is busy making mischief! She adores her two children, making sure there’s always a tidy igloo to go back to, and a plate of Pingu’s favorite food – fish! She knows that kids have to be kids, and even joins in the fun every once in a while. She shares the chores with Pingu’s Daddy, and once the work is done, she can be found with a newspaper or her knitting needles.

Pingu’s Grandfather is a dream for any child. He’s active, loving and is often the brains behind Pingu’s latest adventure. He needs a little help every now and then, but that doesn’t stop him from joining in wherever he can.

This fluffy monster with purple earmuffs and a matching scarf is far from scary. In fact, he’s afraid of the cold! Pingu accidentally finds Monster when a practical joke goes wrong. He tricks his baby sister into thinking that there’s a monster on the loose. And, with a quick sneeze from behind a snow drift, Pingu found out that the monster was very real indeed.

Pingo is a school friend of Pingu. While they might look alike, you can always tell it’s Pingo from his long, pointy beak. He might tease Pingu every once in a while, but deep down these two little buddies do care for each other.

Pingi is Pingu’s kind and sensible girlfriend. She has a heart of gold, and even forgives Pingu for dragging her along on many of his unplanned adventures. Underneath that sweet smile though, there’s a tough little cookie who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. It might have taken a while for the romance to blossom, but now the two are practically inseparable.

When Pingu gets together with Robby, they make double the trouble! This happy seal is Pingu’s best friend, sharing his love of practical jokes – and fish! He’s a playful, funny and often the reason that Pingu gets into a bit of a scrape. They can always rely on each other - just like all good friends do.

The cutest member of Pingu’s family, Pinga is Pingu’s beloved baby sister. She’s another explorer, but relies on her big brother to take her along on his adventures. Don’t let that sweet smile fool you though!
