Beloved 1990s children’s TV show Pingu is making an epic comeback thanks to a partnership with an award-winning animation studio. Mattel, which acquired the penguin character in 2011, will co-develop a new stop-motion 3D animated Pingu TV show with Aardman, the animation company which created Wallace And Gromit and Chicken Run. The decision to partner with Aardman was a no-brainer, Mattel chief franchise officer Josh Silverman said.
Aardman chief creative director Sarah Cox said there were so many stories involving the lovable penguin and his family that have not yet been told. “Aardman and Pingu is such a natural and enticing combination,” she said. “The charm of the stop-frame animation along with the quirky irreverence and character-driven storytelling aligns perfectly with our creative approach. “We can’t wait to get started.” It’s unclear when production will begin on the show.
