The program is set in Antarctica and centres around penguin families who
live and work in igloos. The main character, Pingu, belongs to one such family.
He frequently goes on adventures with his little sister, Pinga, and often gets
into mischief with his best friend, Robby the Seal.
One reason for Pingu's international success is its lack of real spoken
language: nearly all dialogue is in an invented "penguin language"
consisting of loud honking noises, though occasionally words in Swedish are discernable. This was initially retroscripted by Carlo Bonomi, who
created all the sound effects for the series. This feature allows people of
different linguistic backgrounds to be able to follow the story.
