Pingu (1986)

S3E1 Pingu the Cross Country Skier

Jun 17, 1995 Season 3 Episode 1 Animation, Comedy, Kids

Pingu steps outside his igloo and spots Pingo skiing nearby. Excited, Pingu grabs his own skis and the two decide to race each other across the snowy landscape. Their competition heats up, and Pingu tries to trip Pingo by sliding his ski-stick between his legs, causing Pingo to do the splits. He quickly recovers and catches up to Pingu. As they pass an older skier, Pingu playfully shouts into his ear, startling the skier, who angrily waves his stick at them. Both Pingu and Pingo find it amusing. Later, they argue again, and Pingu uses his trick once more, causing Pingo to fall. Annoyed, Pingo retaliates by throwing a snowball at Pingu, knocking him off his skis. As Pingu gets up, the older skier returns, scolding both of them. Pingu mimics him, and they resume their race, passing the skier again, this time downhill. In
