Pingu, The Snowboarder

It's a very windy day and to stop Pingu and Pinga playing with the laundry basket, Mother has asked them to hang out the washing. But the wind is more than they had bargained for and when the towels get caught by a big gust, Pingu and Pinga give chase. When they return, they are too exhausted to play with Father and his kite!

Seeing a seagull in flight makes Pingu want to fly, so he and Robby try some ingenious ways of getting Pingu off the ground – jumping, catapulting, and gliding. None are successful until a balloon seller supplies Pingu with some helium balloons. Suddenly it's up, up and away! But Pingu realises that being grounded is actually the best way for a penguin to be…

When Father uses a shovel to get the snow off his snowcart, Pingu decides to try out a bit of digging for himself. Soon he and Robby are tunnelling around the neighbourhood and things start sinking into the snow in their wake! Pingu and Robby find themselves in trouble when the Fishmonger loses a crate of his fish and Mother and Father's picnic disappears below ground!

Father is trying to make a table but is spending most of his time keeping Pingu out of his toolbox. When Pingu is left alone in the shed, he can't resist trying a bit of DIY himself – but his efforts only make the table collapse! With Father and Grandfather's help, Pingu gets the legs back on – but the table is looking a bit wobbly…

When Pingu goes snowboarding with Robby, he wishes he was as good at jumps as his friend is. They meet Pingi who is even better than Robby, but she is happy to teach Pingu how to get better while Robby just teases him. But Robby soon learns that he shouldn't be so cocky when he shows off and gets a very sore bum!

When Pingu's Grandfather tells him all about the moon, Pingu desperately wants to visit. With Pinga's help, Pingu makes a rocket out of an old barrel, some tin foil and snow. But when they pretend that the rocket has landed on the moon, they are shocked to see an alien face at the window – until they realize that it's only Grandfather joining in!

Pingu and Pinga put up a tent and Mother allows them to sleep in it overnight. Pingu insists that brave explorers don't need to bring their cuddly toys camping with them. But Pinga insists on bringing her bunny. So Pingu scares Pinga by making her think that the bunny is growling. She is so frightened that she throws bunny out of the tent. Pingu gets his comeuppance though when he mistakes the silhouette of Robby eating their food for a giant, ferocious rabbit!

Pingu is trying to read his book in peace, but Pinga develops the hiccups, and he just can't concentrate! He takes her to the Post Office to see if Father can cure her, but none of the tricks Father knows – hand-stands, being shaken upside-down, blowing into a paper bag – have the right effect. So Pingu decides to scare her by putting on a pair of icicle fangs – but the only person he scares is himself! Luckily this makes Pinga laugh until her hiccups are cured

Father decides to take Pingu out on a fishing expedition. But Pingu is frustrated when Father won't let him cut a hole in the ice – even though Pingu feels that he could do a better job! When Pingu gets some big bites, Father takes over and firstly lets the fish escape, then later takes all the credit for landing a fish that Pingu had hooked. But in the end, Father accepts that Pingu sometimes knows best, and lets his son navigate on the journey home, and gives Pingu all the credit for the biggest fish!

Everyone except Pingu seems to be entering the local Ice Sculpture Contest. Pingu wants to play instead, and tries to distract Robby from his masterpiece by throwing snowballs. When a snowball hits the sculpture and makes it look bug-eyed, Pingu and Robby start to compete, making more and more freaky shapes. Soon they're working together on the weirdest sculpture of all, and eventually beat Father and Pinga to take first prize in the contest!

Pinga wants to play with her new balloon – but it needs inflating first. Pingu and Father find that blowing up this particular balloon will be harder than they'd ever thought possible! Simply blowing won't do it, nor will a bicycle pump, and Pinga's getting impatient! Pingu gets an idea when he sees mother using bellows to stoke the stove. He puts the balloon over the bellows' nozzle, and he and Father bounce Pinga up and down on the bellows as the balloon inflates perfectly!
