English Pingu (English 핑구) is an English dub of Pingu, produced in South Korea by Dongsung Productions Co., Ltd. (동성프로덕션) and Elite Production, made for educational purposes. The dub never aired on television as it was only released on VHS from 2000-2002. It was later re-released on DVD in 2005 with two volumes as well as an abridged 21-episode 3-DVD set from 2008. The voice cast currently remains unknown.

At the end of every episode, there is a "Listen & Repeat" where a female announcer repeats all words that were just said in the dub.

The dub has been criticized by general audiences and Pingu fans due to the concept of dubbing Pingu into English, as well as it's poor and amateur voice acting, as well as its improper grammar.

Releases[]
