VeggieTales Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures |
3-2-1 Penguins! is an American science fiction computer-animated Christian children's television series, initially launched on November 14, 2000 as a direct-to-video episode [2] by Big Idea Entertainment with videos released between 2000 and 2003. The direct-to-video series held the top spot on the Soundscan kid video sales charts for its first 18 weeks of release, [3] was the #1 seller on Christian Booksellers Association's video list in 2001, [4] and had sold 1.5 million videos as of February 2009. [5]
The television series aired on the Qubo blocks on NBC, Ion Television and Telemundo as well as the Qubo channel, and later on TBN and Smile of A Child. It ran for three seasons, with the first season consisting of television broadcasts of the six original home videos. Following its conclusion in 2008, it continued in reruns until 2014. The series was a top-ranked show on NBC's Qubo Saturday morning kids block in 2008. [6]
Twin siblings Jason and Michelle are spending the summer with their British grandmother, who they call Grandmum, in Pennsylvania's Poconos region. She has a collection of kitschy ceramic figurines, the most prized of which is four penguins in a rocket ship, a honeymoon gift from her late husband. In the first video, the twins accidentally drop the ship; instead of breaking, it flies into the air and reveals the four penguin figurines are alive and are the crew of the spaceship. One of the twins is then pulled into the ship, using the crew's Galeezle (shrinking) device, and taken on a galactic adventure. [7]
The ensuing adventure ties into the moral dilemma Jason and Michelle had struggled with in the opening scene. For example, in the debut episode, Trouble on Planet Wait-Your-Turn, the twins struggle with taking turns playing a new video game and looking through their Granddad's telescope before Jason is transported to a planet of alien vacuums who also have trouble taking turns.
