Y2K? More like Y-2-PENGUINS! (oh god I suck at puns-)
I made some anthro 3-2-1 Penguins art over the week because I just got into watching the videos and the dynamics are so cute and wholesome. These penguins really deserved better ;-;
Sadly I wasn’t able to finish Kevin so have an a cute lil pic of him from one of the videos I watched.
Hi everypony I’m tired and sick today!! But I’m keeping food down so that’s good ig 💪💪 also do I look like Fidgel from 3-2-1 penguins yes or no!! The video explains it all 🤩 comment your opinion if you feel like it 💖💖 bye love you guys
On November 14, 2000, the team at Big Idea expanded beyond VeggieTales with the release of the first instalment of 3-2-1 Penguins. The first instalment introduced the twin children Jason and Michelle Conrad, their mom, dad, and grandmum, and the space adventuring penguins Zidgel, Midgel, Fidgel, and Kevin. According to the credits, Larry the Cucumber made a guest cameo providing the voice of a sentient vacuum cleaner. ("Trouble on the Planet Wait-Your-Turn", 3-2-1 Penguins, TV Event)
Speaking of Iconic... 3-2-1 Penguins WAS a fever dream and frankly I love it for that. We never talk about 3-2-1 Penguins (I get why...) but to this DAY the name Kevin is ruined for me and my sister, who just can't unhear the theme song. Let's see...
Zidgel, the captain. Egotistic, sometimes dimwitted leader of the group who lets his pride get in the way.
Midgel. First officer, engineer. Short. Serious about what he does. Important addition: a wonderment from the wik from ZidgelFan:
(I wonder too, ZidgelFan... I didn't before your question, but I do now. I'll ponder this.)
Fidgel. The smart, calculating "scientist" of the penguins.
Kevin. The "quiet", somewhat considered "ignorant" one. A bit of a wild card.
Wait... what other four penguins do we know who are comprised of The Egotistical Captain, the Calculating Genius, the Silent Wildcard, and the loyal Other One...?
Continuing from my previous post about if characters from Big Idea should be featured at Universal Orlando Resort, one thing I thinking of for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights would be if Bob and the Rockhopper Crew dressed up in Halloween costumes like Kevin as Frankenstein and Zidgel as Elvis, to name a few examples (feel free to suggest Halloween costume ideas for Bob, Midgel, and Fidgel if you want).
But for Larry and Archibald, I was thinking they would appear as LarryBoy and Alfred. And for promotions of Universal Studios Florida, LarryBoy would serve as a reminder not to be scared. But due to Universal's rule of network neutrality, things like mentioning God and other Christian things can't be used. However, God could be indirectly implied by mentioning "Someone bigger is watching over us all". I may do a rough trailer concept, but feel free to enjoy these two images I made.

DESCRIPTION: A short lived Christian children’s series from the creators of Veggietales. Originally starting as a small collection of direct to video episodes from 2000 to 2003, and then turning into a short lived television series on Qubo in 2006 after the bankruptcy of Big Idea. The story revolves around two siblings named Jason and Michelle spending the summer at their Grandmother’s house. When one day they find a toy spaceship and a collection of ceramic Penguins, they are transported to a fun, comedy filled galaxy adventure with the Penguins (Who are all space troopers) named Zidgel, Midgel, Fidgel and Kevin. All the while learning important life lessons from the Bible.
MOD THOUGHTS
1: No thoughts only MidgeFidge. (P.S: None of the penguins are cis I will say it over and over again.)
2: Made this for a special occasion-
3: I won’t deny that the way they handled the religious themes wasn’t well done especially given that these are the same people who made Veggietales, but everything else was so well done in the videos that I can’t help but keep on wishing that the videos didn’t stop at 6 because these were the pinnacle penguins of the Y2K era. WE COULD’VE GOTTEN A FIDGEL SONG-
