It’s a rare day goes by that Elfie does not demand “PENGUINS DEE DEE”. In human grown-up speak this means ”Penguins DVD” and the one she is referring to is Happy Feet 2, which we picked up in the goodie bag at BritMums last year. Seriously, the girl can not get enough of those crazy, toe-tapping singing Penguins. The problem is that her concentration span bottoms out way before the film finishes so we have watched the first half of the DEE DEE over and over and over and over. It’s enough to send anyone psychotic. More maddening than Peppa Pig, even (Peppa leaves me craving bacon).
So when I was emailed this video made by Coca-Cola in cahoots with Ridley Scott, I was sold. It has everything Elfie likes in a video – improbably talking animals in an icy setting, jokes and dancing,- but the best thing is that it is only 7 MINUTES long. Which is the optimum time for her concentration span. She loves it.

Hello, hello, I’ve been reading your blog for ages now (your scrambled eggs post changed my life too) but I’ve only just managed to get my bum in gear and start officially following. Love this post! My little girl is four and she’s just the same! She had chicken pox over New Year and we HAD to watch her Ice Age seedees (she’s never grown out of that one, and it’s cute so I’ve never corrected her) all day every day. I could pretty much quote them all. She’s now taken to shouting “Precious!” loudly in public places and has requested two goldfish for her birthday with the intention of calling one Precious and the other Granny Sloth. I despair! Got to love them though eh?
Love, Kate @ Just Pirouette and Carry On…
I love that video!
