Almost two decades after its last episode aired, the highly popular children's animated series Pingu is being remade by stop-motion studio Aardman and Mattel.

Mattel exec Josh Silverman spoke to THR about the company's mission to create shows that resonate with both adults and children, something he calls "new-stalgia."

Mattel is teaming up with Aardman, the studio behind Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit to develop a new stop-motion Pingu animated series.

Aardman and Mattel has announced a collaboration that will lead to the creation of a stop-motion animated Pingu series. It will be co-developed by Aardman chief creative director Sarah Cox and Alan Thorpe, as well as Sidney Clifton, Rob David, and Melanie Shannon from Mattel.
