Trivia[]

    • And the same thing happened with "Pingu Gets a Warning" in Japan. Mrs. Peng-Sniff has at one point; a carpet beater that was used to chase both Pingu and Pingo which resulted of the episode being banned from airing in Japan and was pulled from the original episode list on the Japanese Website of Pingu, alongside "Pingu and the Doll".
