Pingu is one of the most popular stop-motion series of the 90s and 2000s. The show is mainly popular for its use of penguinese, a grammelot fictional language spoken by the characters. Despite this, however, it still managed to get an English dub, which was released throughout 2000 via direct-to-video and again in 2002 only in South Korea. Only the first season was dubbed and it's infamous for its use of poor grammar and voice acting.
Format
Instead of airing on TV, the dub was instead released exclusively on VHS via volumes, with each volume having 5 or 4 redubbed episodes. Whenever a character speaks English in the episodes, subtitles of what they're saying appears at the bottom of the screen. However, the subtitles sometimes don't match what's actually being said and even misspell some words at times. At the end of every episode, there is a Listen & Repeat segment where a narrator repeats all the lines said in the episode.
