The Penguin that Hated the Cold

[Nicole]

When I was a little girl one of my favorite stories was "The Penguin that Hated the Cold" from one of those "book of the month" Disney book clubs. My kids now love this book as well.

Today we were watching an old "Sing-Along Songs" Christmas video (yes, video) and one of the songs had clips that were from an animated version of this story.

Does anyone know if this is something I can purchase? Is it on a Disney compilation DVD?

I remember seeing some Disney DVD sets a few years ago that came in a silver metal box -- unfortunately I didn't buy them then, and can't seem to find them now. Are they still available? What's their real name, and how many sets are there?

Thanks!

"The Penguin That Hated The Cold" is also known as "The Cold-Blooded Penguin". It's the story of a penguin named Pablo, who heads for warmer climates than his native Antarctica. It's seen on The Three Caballeros.

Thank you!!! There is much rejoicing in our house today due to this news!

I believe the DVDs you're referring to are the Walt Disney Treasures sets. They're in silver tins, and they've released probably twenty or so. Here's a picture:

I'm not sure if the story you're looking for is on any of them, but it's worth a shot.

No, it's on the Three Caballeros DVD.

Actually, you are both right. I had a two part question, one about the Pablo story, and the other about the Treasures series.

Thanks to both of you.
