Pingu's Sledge Academy
Pingu and his friends Pingo, Pingg, and Pongi are out having fun on their sledges, but they’re so boisterous that they’re a menace to everyone else, leaving messes behind them wherever they go. They go first to a disrupt the Sledge Academy, then Pingu and his three friends pass by a poor old lady, who is having a parcel. They pass a man with a newspaper, making his hat and newspaper fly away as they pass. They pass by Pingi, to two igloos, and a vegetable stall, before eventually crashing into a fish stall. When Pingu gets home, he’s told by his parents that they’re not happy with his behaviour on the sledge and threaten to take it away from him unless he goes to the Sledge Academy. He and his three friends attend a course and, after a few mishaps, learn to control their sledging. They complete the course successfully and are awarded diplomas.

Famous quotes containing the word academy:
“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
