America
In the US, Pingu was released on DVD on four single-disc sets from 2003 onwards. Although the original episodes are contained, there are some omissions:
- The original versions are not included in the sets, due to HiT Entertainment lending their own versions instead of the old versions.
- All controversial episodes, including "Pingu at the Doctors", which was broadcast on Sprout, are not included in the sets due to their perceived offensive material.
- No episodes from seasons 3 or 4 are on the DVDs, but on the Antarctic Antics US tape, there is one season 3 episode, "Pingu's Long Journey". Antarctic Antics was released on DVD, but is very hard to find on DVD, although it is easier to find in Canada.
