Pingu (series 2) - Pingu The Photographer

Pingu The Photographer

Pingu is out taking photographs of Robby. He then photographs an interestingly shaped block of ice from a variety of positions. Meanwhile Robby has found an ice-bridge, and shows it to Pingu. Robby climbs up to the top, and Pingu takes some photographs of him there, in various poses. They then spot a hot-air balloon drifting past, and Pingu snaps this as well. A photojournalist arrives, who also takes some pictures of the balloon, with Pingu standing in the foreground. Pingu goes home, and then goes with Father to the photo-shop to have the film developed. Unfortunately there’s nothing on the film, as Pingu has forgotten to take the lens cap off the camera. Pingu goes sadly home, and father consoles him. Mother and Pinga arrive home with the paper, and Mother shows Pingu the front page, which has a big picture of the balloon with Pingu standing in front. Pingu cheers up, and Mother frames and hangs the picture from the paper on the wall, Pinga wants to take a picture of Mother Father and Pingu in front of the balloon picture and Pingu reminds Pinga to take the lens cap off before doing so.

• Features mainly Pingu, Father, Robby, and a photo-shop manager. Mother, a photojournalist, and Pinga have minor roles.
• When Pingu is at the camera shop, eagle-eyed viewers will notice that 60% of the pictures on the wall were screenshots of previous Pingu episodes. The most noticeable one is the screenshot from "The New Arrival" (also, the ending of the episode was similar to the end of "The New Arrival" as well.)
