History

From very early on, Club Penguin had always wanted to make cartoons. They had some advertisements with no penguins talking, but they kept working at it. When Disney finally bought Club Penguin, they got the chance they had been waiting for. On December 3, 2011, the first episode aired, Never Wake a Sleeping Sensei.

The Animated Short episodes were proving to be very popular, and Club Penguin began to air Best Seat in the House in select movie theaters across the United States in Winter 2011, in the advertisements before PG movies. In July 2012, Club Penguin released their first song, The Party Starts Now, and began releasing more songs after that, with Animated Short episodes to accompany them. The music video episodes Cool In The Cold and Anchors Aweigh aired on Disney Channel during commercial breaks in late January 2013 to promote the album releasing.

Main Article: Club Penguin: The Party Starts Now!

On February 12, 2013, Club Penguin will release Club Penguin: The Party Starts Now! The album contains all of the songs from the series so far, including an exclusive track, Puffle Party (Gotta Have a Wingman), which released the same day. The album includes a code to unlock the Bling-Bling Necklace.

So far, all of the songs released in the series so far can be purchased on the Apple iTunes online store for $0.99 cents. Many penguins speculate that once the season is over on YouTube, the episodes will be released in a DVD set and on iTunes for purchase.

Differences from Game

• The Stage shows movies instead of plays.
• There is a path to the Dojo with a cliff near it that leads to the Plaza.
• Penguins can text on their Elite Spy Phone. In Club Penguin, they can receive messages, but cannot send them.
• Franky is the singer of The Penguin Band, rather than the keyboardist. Although, Stompin' Bob is seen singing in Puffle Party (Gotta Have a Wingman), even though he is the guitarist.

Trivia

• This is the first ever Club Penguin show with new episodes.
• We get to hear Sensei, Herbert, Cadence, Rockhopper, Stompin' Bob & Franky's voice for the first time.
• In every episode so far, except for Save the Island, at the end a character somehow breaks the fourth wall.
• The Four Ninjas have appeared in 3 of 10 episodes. The Aqua Penguin has appeared in 3 of 10 episodes, as well.
• The episode Save the Island does not seem to be an episode of Club Penguin Shorts because it is not added to the playlist 'Club Penguin Shorts' in their Youtube channel. It is more like just a normal video uploaded by Club Penguin.
• The Three Penguins from Ghosts Just Wanna Dance may be some of The Four Ninjas or penguins from Save the Island.
• Polo Field and Businesmoose have a cameo in Cool In The Cold, and Happy77 has a cameo in The Party Starts Now.
• It should be noted that new episodes do not air often, only once every month or so.
• This made more 'YouTube-ers' join Club Penguin. First, Club Penguin did not make videos, now Club Penguin made dozens of videos. Club Penguin's animated shorts make Club Penguin more famous. From normal pictures- to animated videos tells us that Disney is doing a great work.
• Many penguins think that this show will last for a few seasons before Club Penguin makes an actual TV series on Disney Channel and Disney XD, with normal 22 minute episodes.
