This is a list of home video releases for the stop motion animated television series Pingu. Japan United States In the US, Pingu was released on DVD on five single-disc sets from 2003 onwards. Although the original episodes are contained, there are some omissions: The original versions are not included in the sets, due to HiT Entertainment lending the remastered versions instead of the old versions. Some controversial episodes, most notably "Little Accidents/Pingu's Lavatory Story", which was banned everywhere except the UK and Canada, are not included in the sets due to their perceived offensive material. However, the frequently banned episodes "Pingu Runs Away from Home" and "Pingu Dreams" are present on the Antarctic Antics compilation. No episodes from seasons 3 or 4 are on the DVDs, but on the Antarctic Antics US tape, there is one season 3 episode, "Pingu's Long Journey". Many episodes from Seasons 3 and 4 have been included on VOD exclusive releases . Antarctic Antics was released on DVD, but is very hard to find on DVD, although it is easier to find in Canada.
