In the mid 1990s, seasons one and two of Pingu were rerecorded with altered dialogue, new music composed by Andy Benedict, and utilized the intro for seasons three and four along with a custom Pingu BV (later Pygos Group) closing logo made for these versions. These versions would first be released in Japan, Australia and a few places internationally, before becoming the most commonly available versions worldwide after HiT Entertainment acquired the rights to the show. It's unknown why these versions were made, but it's generally assumed to either be licensing reasons or to make seasons three and four's soundtracks more consistent with the first two seasons.
