Pingu (1986)

Episode Overview

Robby, with his official curling stone, invites Pingu to join him for a game. Lacking a curling stone of his own, Pingu borrows his mother’s hot water bottle for the match. In their first round, Robby’s stone travels the farthest, and he manages to do the same in the second round. However, their stones end up near a neighbor who is sitting on an ice block, reading, and he scolds them for the disruption. They decide to swap stones and play back, but Robby wins again. Frustrated, Pingu strikes the stone with all his might, accidentally sending it crashing into the neighbor’s seat, toppling him onto the ice. The neighbor, understandably irate, approaches Pingu to express his displeasure, but Robby tries to intervene, only making the neighbor angrier.
