Pingu (1986)
S04E10 Pingu and the Magnet
Episode Overview
Pingu is exploring the toy box when he discovers a horseshoe magnet attached to a metal ball. Curious, he pulls the ball away, only to be amazed when it snaps back to the magnet after he releases it. Digging deeper, he finds a wooden ball but can't get it to stick. After some thought, he heads outside with both balls and buries the magnet in the snow, forming a circle around it with a stick. Pingo approaches and suggests a game of tossing the balls into the circle. They take turns, and much to Pingo's surprise, Pingu's ball keeps rolling back to the center. As they continue, Pingo uncovers the hidden magnet and realizes what's happening, burying it again to keep the fun going. When Pingu throws his ball, it ends up near the magnet's new spot, leaving him baffled. Just then, their father drives by on a motorized sledge, and the magnet latches onto it, much to Pingu
