What happens

Avenger Penguins is a British animated series produced by Cosgrove Hall Productions (Series 1)/Cosgrove Hall Films (Series 2) for Granada Television, with Thames International holding worldwide distribution rights. The series broadcast on Children's ITV for two series from 1993 to 1994. The show has the distinction of being the last Cosgrove Hall production to be animated using hand-painted animation cels, and the last production not only to be produced by the studio under the name, Cosgrove Hall Productions but also under Thames' ownership and distribution. Series 2 was one of the first two productions produced under the rebranding, Cosgrove Hall Films. All 2D animated series from the studio thereafter would use computers for the ink and paint process; with the animation, drawings scanned and then digitally coloured. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
