Pingu (series 1) - Pingu and Pinga at Home

Pingu and Pinga At Home

Pingu’s parents are off to a concert for a change leaving Pingu and Pinga in charge of taking care of the house who promise to be good, and Pingu and Pinga started to cry. As their parents leave, Pingu and Pinga perform antics such as jumping on their beds and asking Pinga to turn on a radio while Pingu makes a pancake. Mother and Father meanwhile arrive at the concert. Pingu flips the pancake into the air many times, much to Pinga's delight and it ends up getting stuck to the roof. Pinga tells him to look up, Pingu does so just as the pancake falls on his head making him look like an elephant then he trumpets . Meanwhile, Mother and Father have a small talk while at the concert hall. Then, Pingu bounces his red ball and he and Pinga play catch making a big mess in the process (even causing a snowman picture's smile to turn into a frown when knocked out of place). At the concert, Father has fallen asleep and Mother wakes him up. Afterwards, Pingu rifles through a dresser strewing a woman's formal hat at Pinga. He then puts on a top hat and throws it at Pinga who somehow got herself stuck in a blue box. Then Pingu pushes Pinga as he convinces her (with the box she was stuck in now on her head) to come back to where he is standing. Then Pingu pretends to be a monster by putting a blanket over him and is devouring Pinga. Meanwhile, Pingu’s parents are worried about what Pingu and Pinga might be doing as they have a look at the photo of Pingu and Pinga as angels. Then Pinga turns on the bathtub and adds bubble bath to the bath water as Pingu jumps into the bathtub and play messily and then they tip over leaving a mess on the floor. Meanwhile, the concert is finished, and Pingu and Pinga try desperately to clean things up (including the snowman picture who starts smiling again when Pingu puts it back in place) and Pinga shuts off the radio while Pingu shoves every single pair of clothes he has all strewn about into the dresser by jumping on the clothes. When Pingu's parents come home, Mother find out that the dresser had clothes completely shoved in. They are not amused and Mother asks if Pingu and Pinga did this. They say yes. They are afraid that they are angry at him, but they are not, and they forgive Pingu and Pinga. Mother cleans out the dresser, and they congratulate Pingu and Pinga for watching the house.
