DVD Reviews of Chillin' With Pingu
DVD Review: Will adults like it?
Summary: 3 Stars
I watched and am writing this review of Pingu from the perspective of an adult who has no children, but I do enjoy claymation, especially from non-US sources.
There are a few laugh-out-loud moments. I would compare this to a cross between Teletubbies and Wallace & Gromit, with the weight solidly on the Teletubbies side. You find very simple and repetitive story lines. Without true dialogue, of course, you miss the wittiness and verbal banter of W&G, and the creators rely much more heavily on sight-gags and prat-falls, which with claymation can be quite funny.
Pingu is a lot of fun, though I might suggest NOT watching them all back2back. Try watching a cut every morning when you are at your grumpiest, or at night when you need a good, simple laugh.
Will adults like it? I did!
