Say Hi to Pencil! ("Xin Chào Bút Chì!") is a 2011 Vietnamese short film that was later adapted into a television show.The original short was produced by the company SleepingCatFilm and is about the pens Blue, Yellow, and Red living in peace and harmony within a girl's bedroom until she brings along a pencil, who gets used more often than them and leads them to jealousy over how much attention he's getting.The TV show premiered in 2012, has the company Hi Pencil Studio as its main producer, and airs on HTV7. It's about Pencil and his pen friends going about their daily lives. Certain versions of the show are hosted by a pair of human girls (who are also claymation), Ping and Pa, who talk about the situations they've run into in their life that usually foreshadow the premise of the episode. After the episode ends, the pair tells how the story can be compared to the behavior of an animal of sorts.Hi Pencil Studio has uploaded the series to YouTube for free viewing in both Vietnamese and English. The original Vietnamese-dubbed episodes have English subtitles. |

comment |
Speaking Simlish: In the original short, the pencil and pens speak in incoherent gibberish rather than any comprehensible words, with subtitles accompanying them so that we can understand what they're saying. They speak normally in the TV show. |

Hypno Pendulum: Pencil buys one in "Hypnotism", which has him fall under the spell of his own hypno-stone (or at least, it looks like a stone based on color) when Red inquires what it is. This causes Pencil to be used by the pens for their own personal gain. |

Big Ball of Violence: In "Radish Picking", Red accidentally gets dirt all over Blue when he tries to dig the giant radish out of the ground. Blue throws some of this dirt back at him, prompting the two to attack each other. The outburst of violence produces a cloud of smoke that obscures the characters from sight. |

Burning with Anger: In "Angry Red", Red bursts into purple flames during his anger scene. A god of destruction had given him the power of anger earlier on in the episode, hence their being purple flames. |
