Pingwings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pingwings was an animated black and white children's television series of 18 ten-minute episodes broadcast in the UK during the early 1960s. Created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin of Smallfilms, it starred a family of penguins who lived at the back of a barn on Berrydown Farm. The penguins were knitted and the animation was achieved using the stop motion technique, captured on 16mm film.
A short sequence of Pingwings is available on the CD that accompanies Oliver Postgate's autobiography, and a DVD of the 18 episodes is also available from the Dragon's friendly society.
