I always liked Pingu as a child, but for most people, it’s seemed to be least remembered by many people of my generation nowadays. I kinda agree with you on Pingu’s problems, because with having Autism myself, there are many things in my life, where sometimes I sometimes feel like the odd one out, because many people would sideline me or sometimes see myself lash out or just cry out and feel isolated and be alone and I don’t want to feel like I belong here. Anyway, this series was enjoyable and I never really realised the problems as a kid, but now watching it now, I feel that why they heck did I watch the show and haven’t realised how much sometimes Pingu was related to me in some ways, despite that I am a lot more calmer than I used to be, even though I feel like crying out my problems, rather than be angry or violent to people.
Awwww. There’s my childhood :3 One of my favorite episodes was the one where Pingo helps out a poor old man by fixing his house and gathering food for him. It’s really sweet :3
MC. Gemstone that and have you seen how easy it is to imitate stop motion in 3D It’s like a much lesser but cheeper version of stop motion all so its great to hear back from you again Gemstone :)
@@Blu3tube And a Merry Christmas to you! Also yes I enjoy your video as well I love it when people talk about obscure findings like animation and such.
Thumbnail: we got: A penguin from a clay animation, Skipper from the penguins of Madagascar, a penguin who's disguised as a chicken that tried to steal a diamond and a penguin with a bowtie
I love this show as a kid. Bringing up Pingu having a disability makes sense and hey I like it when shows have a character that has autism when they are done right and not the butt of the joke. Funny enough this show really did well in Japan and had even games for the ps1 and game boy. Then again Japan loves cute looking characters so it make sense really. Funny thing is I swear when I was younger I saw a new version of that series in cgi but was still set in the south pole and such.
I will say this, I love Pingu and I still enjoy the show, and I respect your opinion on the character. As someone who has autism I could relate to Pingu and his friends as I loved animals and I found Pingu to be very special. And I do wish Pingu was confirmed being autistic. Overall I still enjoy Pingu as I enjoy penguins and I wouldn't mind seeing this lil trouble maker for years to come! He's just so adorable! Say, do u plan on reviewing his movie, Pingu at the wedding party and new reboot, Pingu in the city?
I love the fact that Mumble is on the video's image because when I was a little kid watching this show I always thought of the Oscar winning movie Happy Feet because of the fact that they both have penguins.
This show used to distress me as a young child especially the episode where he hurts himself on the table and blood is dripping and the doctor tortures him with the drill thing is so messed up
Recently discovered your channel, really enjoy your videos! Have you ever considered reviewing Cosgrove Hall’s Wind in the Willows? It’s another really interesting stop motion kids show with some really unexpectedly dark moments
Olivia Hayward I have mentioned the wind in the willows it in a few of my videos my self as I just did the fool of the world and flying ship this year which was animated by the same team that animated wind
Olivia Hayward it’s rare to find people who know of witw ( wind in the willows) as it’s a one of a kind beautiful animation ( and yeah it has some dark moments ) just in case I talk about it briefly here The Fool Of The World And The Flying Ship- Blue Artisan Reviews Christmas Special! ua-cam.com/video/vKYrJnUqpaI/v-deo.html
Just thought I’d share a lil’ memory when I watched bob the builders a Christmas to remember as a kid back in......2003 I think I remember feeling a little mystified and a little creeped out at the scene where Tom (bobs twin brother who lives in the arctic) gets side tracked by having to save a deer who was about to fall off a cliff and in the process ends of missing the boat that was suppose to take him home to bobs Christmas party. It’s just how it all played out where it’s late at night you can see the northern lights and the boat is depicted as this little square with a light on the back going off into the distance I dunno stuff to do with snow and ice sort of creeped me out lightly as a kid especially in video games where snowy levels would often have creepy sounding music. but yeah to this day I still have a lot of weird dreams and sometimes even nightmares about the programs I watched as a youngster XD like Thomas, pingu, the teletubbies, tugs and what not ^^
I'm pretty sure that Pingu was aired in the UK before Hit Entertainment bought Otmar Guitman's company. BBC distributed it on VHS tapes in the early 90s.
I also didn't know that some twisted motherfricker made a parody of Pingu that recreated The Thing! And I honestly wish I never heard of it. You know you've made it when you can say that
All jokes aside: that parody looks like something out of a f**king creepypasta! Why am i afraid that there might actually be a Pingu creepypasta that recreates The Thing?
This was my childhood cartoon and i would watch it everyday. I actually watch it to this day when i find it lol. Edit: I actually cried after this since i realized how bad sometimes he can be. But yeah, i think he overthinked everything since this is only a kid show. LITERARY
With regards to the censorship, it was actually the other way round, as far as the British release was concerned. Let me explain: - When the BBC got the TV/video rights to Pingu in 1991, they saw fit to make small cuts to certain episodes, but leave just enough for audiences to still understand what was going on (i.e. the 'pissing on the floor' scene was still shown, albeit cut down). They also cut scenes where Pingu and others did things that they thought children might imitate (hiding in cupboards, lighting stoves, etc.). Where such cuts couldn't be made without adversely affecting the rest of the episode, the BBC simply didn't air those episodes (Pingu's Dream being the best known, although Pingu and the Mother Bird from the third season was also never shown, for unknown reasons). - In 1995, the Pygos Group remastered all episodes that'd been made prior to that year, with new music and partly redone dialogue (possibly for consistency with episodes made after that point). Obviously they had access to the original masters, which were uncut. It was these remastered episodes that were included in any overseas sales made after 1995. Those made before, like Britain and Japan, continued to broadcast the originals. - Therefore, when HIT Entertainment got the rights to Pingu in 2001, it was the remastered, uncut versions that they acquired, and therefore used when distributing the series. The remasters were not seen or heard of until the first DVD release in 2003, giving rise to the misconception that HIT themselves were responsible for the remastering. - Interestingly, even as HIT was releasing the remastered episodes, the BBC continued to broadcast the originals on CBeebies, alongside the HIT-produced episodes, as late as 2015!
I grew up with the 2003 and 1986 versions, I did watch “The Pingu Show” from 2006 as well but that was just footage from the 2000s and 1980s series with the Narration of one Marc Silk (who also did the Narration on the Pingu DVD menus) linking in the episodes (usually without the Opening/Closing Titles, my Favourite part of the Programme besides the actual programme!) Plus how the Hell did they manage to get David Hasselhoff to do the Theme Tune?
Ah, Pingu. Here in Italy we got it in 1996, original flavor. Of course I found it boring as an 11 year old, but I didn't know it had such a history. I never heard the Hoff's theme, the theme song here was: ua-cam.com/video/EJdZgZE0_94/v-deo.html
Just checked if Thingu was by Stop motion Heart of Darkness Lee Hardcastle, and yes, it was. That man has some easily recognisable talent and blood splatters. Edit: jumped thr gun a bit there because he named him too. Definitely recognisable though!
"Wow a new video from one of my favourite British reviewers I found about a month ago. And it's pingu! Yay! Let's watch" A few minutes later "Ok this is great, now to-" Sees thingu..... and the pet semitary "............ And now I can never watch this review again. I am legitimately scarred. Thanks headphones for reminding me why I don't play horror games, never liked happy tree friends and despise the internet. Wait, oh god what if kids watch this?"
@@HeadphonesUK I haven't seen that show. I don't think I've heard of it. But people are always complaining about christmas without snow, don't they. Snow don't do photosynthesis.

Hey your not alone. Maybe that's why we don't see any stop motion these days...

For me Pingu was one of the most relaxing and funniest shows when I was a lad. Surely it can't be this horrific lol.

1:16 Pingu was broadcasted in the UK during this time.
The original Pingu DVDs could make me scared as a little kid, it was the menu transitions and the music

@@JoshProductions07 true
