Hello, this is my last ditch effort to find my childhood game after no luck on other sites. I'm looking for a PC game from the early 2000s with a kind of cutesy japanese/japan inspired style and low-poly pastel animal characters, with very simplistic character models. The gameplay consisted of a bunch of randomized minigames, including a doctor's office and lawn mowing game where you cut the grass into the shape of a letter. There was also cutscene of some of the animals playing in a band/having fun that played either at the beginning or end (the band cutscene might have also been a game).
I've scoured the internet for mentions or screenshots of this game but all I came up with was two reddit posts (1, 2). It's possible the game was included as a bonus with another game, or was on a double-sided disc. My mom bought a lot of educational games for us as kids so it's possible it came with one of those.
I've ruled out the roly-poly game and the thinkin-things games.
I want to say Amazing World but I don't think that is an educational game. I wonder if the game was connected to a franchise like Zuzu Pets, Yoohoo & Friends, or something along that line.
ok I played a lot of similar games as a kid. I remember one of them had several animals, one of them was a blue penguin. There was a music section that played several well known/nursery rhyme songs. The penguin played a piccolo in that one. That is actually how I learned what a piccolo was, and I completely forgot about it!

The game definitely came out pre-zuzu pets and yoohoos. Had to have been before 2008, at least. I was very young. Also, I am positive the game was on a disc and was not connected to the internet. It was a pretty simple game.

I had so many games like this and the only way to check if its one of them is to see if we still have the discs. Everything is still pointing to the penguin and piccolo thing I mentioned earlier but looking it up online is impossible because almost all the results are for club penguin, instead of a game where only one of the animals is a penguin.

This sounds like it could be it. I might draw up some images of what I remember. It's strange that so many people remember this game and nobody can find it.

I made a mockup in 3D paint. Does this look like it might be the penguin?
This game looks so cute! I feel nowadays people see stuff with this sort of aesthetic and want to make a game that's like the "secretly eviiillll" version but I think cute aesthetics like this have value on their own and I like it better sincerely. I want to check this out for the cute look but I imagine as an adult it might not be so amusing to try to play a learning game for preschoolers anymore lol. I wish I could have grown up on it or something though. And I like the pictures here that were made from memory.
