Carlo Bonomi, the voice of Pingu, dies

Carlo Bonomi has died Pingu’s voice for most of the seasons of that animated children’s series with ‘stop motion’ starring a penguin hooligan, his voice not only in his native Italy, but throughout the world, because that voice actor and professional clown an indecipherable language was invented so versatile that the chapters could be broadcast without the need for adaptations in any country in the world.

Bonomi was not the only Pingu, because the Catalan was also put in the role of that character David Sant and the Italian too Marcello Magnibut probably the one who most associates Pingu with him, who is not known if very seriously he said that the incomprehensible chatter had been inspired by the Milanese dialect.

The adventures of Pingu, her seal friend and a dozen more characters (Bonomi gave voice to several of them in each chapter) are part of a collective memory of today’s parents and children, but what has perhaps fallen into oblivion is his essential collaboration with another unique animation series, ‘The line‘, released for the first time in 1972, and in which the magic was that all the action was starred by a single moving line.
