Pingu Gets a Bicycle (also known as Pingu Gets a Bike or Pingu and the Gift) is the 20th episode of the second season which was first broadcast on August 17, 1994.

Summary[]

Pinga is playing happily with her teddy and toy pram when Pingu zooms up on his new scooter. Pinga immediately switches her attention to the scooter and really wants a go. She offers to let him play with her stuff if she can ride on the scooter but Pingu declines. Pinga tries to shake Pingu off, but Pingu scoots off. Then Dad comes home on the tractor sledge, and Pinga rushes over to greet him. Dad gives her a ride up the drive on the tractor sledge, but he is not looking where he is going and accidentally runs over Pinga's new toys, smashing them to bits.

Poor Pinga is inconsolable to the extent of crying her eyes out against the wall, while Mum scolds her husband for his carelessness. Pingu comes home to the broken toys and by the time he gets in, Pinga is still sobbing, so he tries to cheer her up. He tries playing his drum to no avail. Mum then tries tempting Pinga with a lollipop, giving Pingu one as well for his effort, but this doesn't stop Pinga from continuing to cry against the wall either. Pingu then gathers up a load of other toys in a cart and offers them to Pinga, but she refuses and knocks the cart over.

Meanwhile, Dad has snuck out of the igloo, feeling most ashamed of himself for destroying Pinga's toys. He makes a beeline for the toy shop and buys a blue rabbit in gift wrapped box. When he arrives back home, he presents the rabbit to Pinga, but this is still not good enough as she quickly throws the stuffed animal to the ground. As Pinga starts crying again and Mum and Dad start to argue once more, Pingu thinks that he may have the answer. He rushes back outside, fetches his scooter from earlier, and tells Pinga she can have a go, cheering her up immediately. Pingu attempts to make a clear path for Pinga before she sets off at top speed. Pinga then scoots into a towel hanging out to dry on the washing line and, unable to see where she is going, hits a bump, falls off and ends up buried in the snowman which collapses on top of her. Concerned for his sister, Pingu digs for Pinga when she pops up laughing and crowing for another go. Pingu gives his little sister a big hug, glad to see her happy again.

Trivia[]

  • Despite discarding it in this episode, the blue rabbit becomes one of Pinga's favourite toys in later episodes.
  • This episode's other name was "Pingu and the Broken Toys".

Goofs[]

  • If you look closely when Dad opens the box to reveal the toy rabbit, Pinga blinks with only one eye.
  • Both the original and remaster titles are rather misleading, because Pingu actually has a scooter rather than a bike.
  • In a close-up of Pinga stomping her feet, the pile of wood shifts slightly.
