The Screen Guide

Humorous animated plasticine characters bring penguins into a school classroom. Unknown to the teacher, his zoology lesson on penguins comes alive for the class as a paper spit-ball descends from the ceiling to his desk and then morphs to bring each of the 17 species of penguins to life in turn. As the lesson progresses the class watches each species appear and play amongst the mess on the teacher's desk.
