The Pygos Group (formerly known as Pingu B.V. and Editoy AG) is a Swiss entertainment company owned by Mattel Creations. It was located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. On October 29th 2001, the company collapsed and all its assets were sold to HiT Entertainment for over £15.9m. As of today, the studio exists as an in-name-only unit used to market properties and productions associated with the Pingu library, as a result, despite retaining the copyright, they didn't have much involvement for Seasons 5-6 & Pingu in the City.
