Английский мультфильм про свинку Пеппу просто незаменим для раннего обучения детей английскому языку. Веселый, красочный и смешной, он понравится ребенку любого возраста и ненавязчиво обучит звучанию английской речи.
Пеппа – симпатичная маленькая свинка родом из Великобритании, которая живет вместе со своими Мамой Свиньей, Папой Свиньей и маленьким братиком Джорджем. Пеппа обожает играть, наряжаться, бывать в новых местах и заводить новые знакомства, но самое любимое занятие Свинки Пеппы – это прыгать в грязных лужах. Все ее приключения всегда заканчиваются благополучно и сопровождаются взрывами хрюканья и смеха. Необыкновенно занимательный и добрый, этот мультфильм подарит прекрасное настроение малышам и их родителям!
Мультфильм имеет очень интересный стиль. Все персонажи и сцены прорисованы очень примитивно, как будто это делала рука ребенка. Однако именно это в мультфильме больше всего и привлекает маленьких зрителей. Они узнают свои собственные рисунки, и без труда смогут нарисовать всех персонажей сериала.
Мне очень нравится и «качество языка», которым обладают герои сериала. Их речь проста и понятна. Используются самые популярные бытовые фразы, ну и конечно приправляется все тонким английским юмором. А чего стоят серии про королеву и празднование Рождества, это же просто кладезь культурулогического материала!

Peppa Pig is a English preschool animated television series by Astley Baker Davies. The show follows Peppa, an anthropomorphic female piglet, and her family, as well as her peers portrayed as other animals. The show first aired on 31 May 2004. The seventh season began broadcasting on 5 March 2021. Peppa Pig has been broadcast in over 180 countries.[1]
Peppa herself has been voiced by several different performers through the years. Lily Snowden-Fine provided her voice in season one and Cecily Bloom in season two, then Harley Bird, five years old when she started, acquired the role for thirteen years until stepping down after season six.[2] She was replaced by Amelie Bea Smith. John Sparkes, Morwenna Banks, Richard Ridings, Oliver May and Alice May also provide voices.[citation needed]
On 31 December 2019, Hasbro acquired Entertainment One, including the Peppa Pig franchise, for a US$3.8 billion deal.[3] On 16 March 2021, it was announced that the series was renewed until 2027, with the original creators and studio (Astley Baker Davies) replaced by Karrot Animation (producers of Sarah & Duck).[4]
On 17 November 2022, Hasbro announced that they would be selling Entertainment One, however the Peppa Pig franchise would remain with Hasbro.[5]
Background
Taking place in a world where almost all characters are animals, Peppa Pig revolves around the titular character and her family and friends. Each episode is approximately five minutes long. Each of her friends is a different species of animal. Peppa’s friends are her age, and Peppa’s younger brother George’s friends are his age. Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending playgroup, going swimming, visits with their grandparents, cousins, and friends, going to the playground or riding their bikes.
The characters wear clothes, live in houses, and drive cars, but still display some characteristics of the animals on which they are based. Peppa and her family snort like pigs during conversations in which they are speaking English, and the other animals make their respective noises when they talk, with some exhibiting other characteristics, such as the Rabbit family’s squeaking sounds and enjoyment of carrots. The Rabbit and Mole families are the exceptions to the rule of human-like habitation, as they live in a burrow in a hill, though it has windows and is furnished in the same way as the other houses. The characters blush when embarrassed, and their mouths express other emotions such as sadness, happiness, irritation, bewilderment, and confusion. Although the main characters—mostly mammals—are anthropomorphic, other animal characters are not, such as Tiddles the tortoise, Polly Parrot, and the ducks. The narrator of the series, John Sparkes, reinforces the action and humour, saying things like «Oh, dear» when something unfortunate happens (such as when George starts crying) or «Look out!» when a character is doing something unsafe (such as Peppa riding her bicycle without looking where she is going).
Production and airing
In the United Kingdom, the first series of 52 five-minute episodes began on Channel 5 on 31 May 2004. The second series of 52 episodes began on Channel 5 on 4 September 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, among other cast changes. The third series started telecasting on Channel 5’s preschool-targeted block Milkshake! on 4 May 2009 with Harley Bird replacing Cecily Bloom and Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa.
In the United States, the series first aired as part of Cartoon Network’s Tickle-U preschool programming block from 22 August 2005 to 2007.[6] For these airings, the show was redubbed with American actors.[7] However, there were no other official releases of this dub, and every US airing since 2008 uses the original British soundtrack.[8] In 2008, Peppa Pig moved to the Noggin channel in the US. It was aired as part of Noggin Presents, a series of interstitial shorts aired in between full shows. Since February 2011, the series airs as a half-hour show on the Nick Jr. US channel, and on the separate Nick Jr. block on Nickelodeon as of November 2013. For each episode, 5 segments are put together (though for the special containing «Golden Boots» and the episode containing «Around the World», only 3 segments are used) to make the run time 25 minutes.[8] As of June 2021, there were 9 seasons (and 1 standalone special) of Peppa Pig in the US.[9]
Peppa Pig is animated using CelAction.[10]

A 15-minute film called Peppa Pig: The Golden Boots[11] was released on 14 February 2015[12] alongside several episodes of the TV series.[13] As of December 2015, it had grossed £2,326,328.[14]
A second film, branded a «cinema experience», was released on 16 March 2017, and was shown in cinemas on 7 April 2017. It features nine exclusive new episodes, four of which share the same theme, Peppa’s holiday in Australia. Between the episodes are segments with a live-action host named Daisy (played by Emma Grace Arends) and Peppa and George as hand-made puppets, based on the Peppa Pig Live stage show.
Theme parks

Peppa Pig World
Peppa Pig World, a themed area based on the series, opened on 9 April 2011 at Paultons Park, New Forest, Hampshire, England,[15] with attractions such as nine rides, an indoor play zone, a muddy puddles water splash park, children-sized play areas and themed buildings.
Peppa Pig World of Play
On October 17, 2017, Merlin Entertainments announced a partnership with Entertainment One to become the exclusive licensor for theme park attractions based on the show worldwide except in the United Kingdom and in China, which will be a non-exclusive partnership.[16]
The deal began with the announcement of Peppa Pig World of Play on June 5, 2018, which are indoor play areas with unique twists. The first venue to open would be in Shanghai for a Late-2018 opening, and opened in Late-October.[17] Additional venues in Beijing, as well as two US venues in Dallas-Fort Worth and Michigan were also announced around this time for a 2019 opening. The Dallas-Fort Worth venue opened in February 2019.[18] while the Michigan venue opened later on in the year.
In September 2021, a Peppa Pig World of Play venue was announced to open in the Netherlands.[19]
Peppa Pig Theme Park
Peppa Pig Theme Park is a separately-ticketed park located within the Legoland Florida Resort; it opened on February 24, 2022.[20]
Peppa Pig Resort
On June 23, 2021, Merlin announced a dedicated Peppa Pig-themed resort located in Sichuan, China, opening in 2024. It will contain a theme park, a hotel and a Sea Life aquarium. Construction began in July 2021.[21]
Merchandise
Peppa Pig, the Entertainment One (eOne) brand, grossed over £200 million in UK merchandise sales in 2010, doubling the 2009 figure of £100 million. According to NPD figures for 2010, Peppa Pig had become the number one pre-school property in the total toy market, moving up four places from its 2009 position. As of May 2018 Peppa Pig was stated to have over 1,000 licensees worldwide, and 80 in the US,[22] up from 63 licensees in 2010.[23]
Episode DVDs and a variety of licensed Peppa Pig products including video games and other toys such as playsets, playing cards, vehicles, and stuffed toys are sold. The range was expanded to include household items such as bathroom products, stationery,[24] bed-linen, food, drink, clothing, and jewellery. A music album titled My First Album was released in July 2019.[25]
Video games
There have been several video games based on the property. In 2008, Pinnacle Software signed a deal with Contender Entertainment Group to publish licensed video games based on the property with Asylum Entertainment as developer.[26] The first title: Peppa Pig: The Game was released for the Nintendo DS in November 2008. Following Pinnacle’s insolvency in December that year,[27] a successor company — P2 Games, was founded in February 2009, and released a Wii version a year later on 27 November 2009 for the Nintendo Wii, with distribution by Ubisoft It is a children’s video game to learn and play, and it contains 11 games and activities.
A second game, Peppa Pig: Fun and Games was released on 22 October 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console and Nintendo DS hand-held game system. Asylum Entertainment and P2 Games remained as developer and publisher for the title.
A third game, My Friend Peppa Pig was developed by Petoons Studio and published by Outright Games. It released on 22 October 2021 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows, exactly 11 years after Peppa Pig: Fun and Games.[28][29]
Criticism and analysis
Comparison of identical frame in original (top) and re-edited versions of the Series 1 episode «Bicycles«, with cycle helmets added.
Peppa and her family did not wear seat belts in cars in the first two series. After receiving several complaints, Astley Baker Davies announced that all future animation would include characters wearing seat belts, and that the relevant scenes in the first two series would be re-animated to include them.[30] Similar changes were also made to add cycle helmets to early episodes with characters riding bicycles.[31]
Peppa was used to promote the pre-2010 Labour government’s Sure Start programme, which had the aim of «giving children the best possible start in life».[32] In April 2010, during the UK General Election campaign, E1 Entertainment said that Peppa would not attend the launch of the Labour Party’s families manifesto «in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding».
In 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation received a complaint that the Series 1 episode «Mister Skinnylegs» was not appropriate for Australian audiences, as it encouraged befriending spiders; deadly venomous spiders are prevalent in Australia. The complaint was upheld, and the episode was restricted from airing on the ABC network.[33]
In late May 2014, the ABC’s Mark Scott expressed fears about the future of Peppa on Australian television, given Australian federal budget cuts to ABC funding that were said to affect its ability to pay for, and broadcast, overseas media products such as Peppa Pig. Australian media noted the character’s appeal to Australian toddlers and echoed concerns about the future of her Australian distribution rights. Australian Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce made reference to the character as a menu item at a Thai restaurant, while conservative columnist Piers Akerman thought that Peppa «pushes a weird feminist line».[34] On 28 May 2014, Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull tweeted: «Contrary to media rumours, Peppa’s is one snout we are happy to have in the ABC trough».[35]
In 2015 Norman Lamb, a former UK health minister, said that programmes such as Peppa Pig should include gay characters, because having arbitrary boundaries as to what relationships are acceptable in children’s television was «not equitable».[36]
The British Medical Journal carried a light-hearted article in its Christmas 2017 edition, which suggested that although the programme includes numerous «positive public health messages, encouraging healthy eating, exercise, and road safety», it ran the risk of «contributing to unrealistic expectations of primary care» by depicting general practitioner Doctor Brown Bear as making out-of-hours home visits as soon as contacted about apparently trivial illnesses, and dispensing medicines rather too freely.[37] The media company responsible for Peppa Pig offered no comment when contacted about the article by the BBC.[38]
In November 2021, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaking at a Confederation of British Industry conference lost his place in his speech for about 20 seconds and diverted into a lengthy tangent about Peppa Pig,[39] describing the character’s shape as a «Picasso-like hairdryer».[40]
«Peppa Pig effect»
Since 2019, it has been observed that children in the US, where Peppa Pig had become an extremely popular programme, had been acquiring some Anglo-English, rather than American pronunciation and vocabulary. For example, tomato and zebra are pronounced in the English, rather than American way; words such as satnav, petrol, mummy and «biscuit» (instead of «cookie») are used; and comments such as «how clever», «Oh dear», and «can I have a go?» picked up.[41][42][43] This phenomenon was not an issue for many parents; it trended with the hashtag «#PeppaEffect».[41] Linguistics experts find those conclusions to be «likely exaggerated».[44] A written statement by Entertainment One Ltd. when asked of this phenomenon went on saying: «Young Peppa fans see her as a friend…and, as we do with friends that we admire, pick up some of their characteristics…imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.»[43]
Popularity in China
Peppa Pig is popular with mainstream China, and has been featured by official news media such as People’s Daily,[45] and even endorsed by People’s Liberation Army[46] and Chinese weapons manufacturer Norinco.[47] However, social media posts featuring concerned parents complaining against Peppa Pig have also gone viral.[48] In May 2018, digitally manipulated contents featuring adult content with Peppa Pig were blocked on the video app TikTok, also known as Douyin in China, due to concerns about exposure of adult content to children.[49] According to some media estimates, some 30,000 clips referenced under «#PeppaPig» were removed by the site.[50] The ban was in response to the prevalence of adult content featuring Peppa Pig created by shehuiren (simplified Chinese: 社会人; traditional Chinese: 社會人; pinyin: shè huì rén; literally «person of society») subculture, which used Peppa Pig as a criminal «mobster» icon, with members of the subculture creating memes and tattoos using imagery from the cartoon, containing adult humor. Original Peppa Pig cartoons remain accessible on all online platforms, including TikTok (Douyin).[citation needed]
Despite the controversy regarding its memes, the series and character remain popular within mainstream Chinese culture, as two Peppa Pig theme parks are set to open in Beijing and Shanghai in 2019.[needs update][51] In early 2019, to celebrate the Year of the Pig, the 81-minute animation/live-action film Peppa Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year was released in China.[52][53] Before the film’s release, a five-minute live-action promotional trailer went viral on social media in China, garnering a billion views and being re-posted by numerous state media outlets.[52] The film opened on 6 February 2019, and made US$14 million in the first three days.[54]

Peppa Pig is a English preschool animated television series by Astley Baker Davies. The show follows Peppa, an anthropomorphic female piglet, and her family, as well as her peers portrayed as other animals. The show first aired on 31 May 2004. The seventh season began broadcasting on 5 March 2021. Peppa Pig has been broadcast in over 180 countries.[1]
Peppa herself has been voiced by several different performers through the years. Lily Snowden-Fine provided her voice in season one and Cecily Bloom in season two, then Harley Bird, five years old when she started, acquired the role for thirteen years until stepping down after season six.[2] She was replaced by Amelie Bea Smith. John Sparkes, Morwenna Banks, Richard Ridings, Oliver May and Alice May also provide voices.[citation needed]
On 31 December 2019, Hasbro acquired Entertainment One, including the Peppa Pig franchise, for a US$3.8 billion deal.[3] On 16 March 2021, it was announced that the series was renewed until 2027, with the original creators and studio (Astley Baker Davies) replaced by Karrot Animation (producers of Sarah & Duck).[4]
On 17 November 2022, Hasbro announced that they would be selling Entertainment One, however the Peppa Pig franchise would remain with Hasbro.[5]
Background
Taking place in a world where almost all characters are animals, Peppa Pig revolves around the titular character and her family and friends. Each episode is approximately five minutes long. Each of her friends is a different species of animal. Peppa’s friends are her age, and Peppa’s younger brother George’s friends are his age. Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending playgroup, going swimming, visits with their grandparents, cousins, and friends, going to the playground or riding their bikes.
The characters wear clothes, live in houses, and drive cars, but still display some characteristics of the animals on which they are based. Peppa and her family snort like pigs during conversations in which they are speaking English, and the other animals make their respective noises when they talk, with some exhibiting other characteristics, such as the Rabbit family’s squeaking sounds and enjoyment of carrots. The Rabbit and Mole families are the exceptions to the rule of human-like habitation, as they live in a burrow in a hill, though it has windows and is furnished in the same way as the other houses. The characters blush when embarrassed, and their mouths express other emotions such as sadness, happiness, irritation, bewilderment, and confusion. Although the main characters—mostly mammals—are anthropomorphic, other animal characters are not, such as Tiddles the tortoise, Polly Parrot, and the ducks. The narrator of the series, John Sparkes, reinforces the action and humour, saying things like «Oh, dear» when something unfortunate happens (such as when George starts crying) or «Look out!» when a character is doing something unsafe (such as Peppa riding her bicycle without looking where she is going).
Production and airing
In the United Kingdom, the first series of 52 five-minute episodes began on Channel 5 on 31 May 2004. The second series of 52 episodes began on Channel 5 on 4 September 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, among other cast changes. The third series started telecasting on Channel 5’s preschool-targeted block Milkshake! on 4 May 2009 with Harley Bird replacing Cecily Bloom and Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa.
In the United States, the series first aired as part of Cartoon Network’s Tickle-U preschool programming block from 22 August 2005 to 2007.[6] For these airings, the show was redubbed with American actors.[7] However, there were no other official releases of this dub, and every US airing since 2008 uses the original British soundtrack.[8] In 2008, Peppa Pig moved to the Noggin channel in the US. It was aired as part of Noggin Presents, a series of interstitial shorts aired in between full shows. Since February 2011, the series airs as a half-hour show on the Nick Jr. US channel, and on the separate Nick Jr. block on Nickelodeon as of November 2013. For each episode, 5 segments are put together (though for the special containing «Golden Boots» and the episode containing «Around the World», only 3 segments are used) to make the run time 25 minutes.[8] As of June 2021, there were 9 seasons (and 1 standalone special) of Peppa Pig in the US.[9]
Peppa Pig is animated using CelAction.[10]

Peppa Pig World
Peppa Pig World, a themed area based on the series, opened on 9 April 2011 at Paultons Park, New Forest, Hampshire, England,[15] with attractions such as nine rides, an indoor play zone, a muddy puddles water splash park, children-sized play areas and themed buildings.
Peppa Pig World of Play
On October 17, 2017, Merlin Entertainments announced a partnership with Entertainment One to become the exclusive licensor for theme park attractions based on the show worldwide except in the United Kingdom and in China, which will be a non-exclusive partnership.[16]
The deal began with the announcement of Peppa Pig World of Play on June 5, 2018, which are indoor play areas with unique twists. The first venue to open would be in Shanghai for a Late-2018 opening, and opened in Late-October.[17] Additional venues in Beijing, as well as two US venues in Dallas-Fort Worth and Michigan were also announced around this time for a 2019 opening. The Dallas-Fort Worth venue opened in February 2019.[18] while the Michigan venue opened later on in the year.
In September 2021, a Peppa Pig World of Play venue was announced to open in the Netherlands.[19]
Peppa Pig Theme Park
Peppa Pig Theme Park is a separately-ticketed park located within the Legoland Florida Resort; it opened on February 24, 2022.[20]
Peppa Pig Resort
On June 23, 2021, Merlin announced a dedicated Peppa Pig-themed resort located in Sichuan, China, opening in 2024. It will contain a theme park, a hotel and a Sea Life aquarium. Construction began in July 2021.[21]
Merchandise
Peppa Pig, the Entertainment One (eOne) brand, grossed over £200 million in UK merchandise sales in 2010, doubling the 2009 figure of £100 million. According to NPD figures for 2010, Peppa Pig had become the number one pre-school property in the total toy market, moving up four places from its 2009 position. As of May 2018 Peppa Pig was stated to have over 1,000 licensees worldwide, and 80 in the US,[22] up from 63 licensees in 2010.[23]
Episode DVDs and a variety of licensed Peppa Pig products including video games and other toys such as playsets, playing cards, vehicles, and stuffed toys are sold. The range was expanded to include household items such as bathroom products, stationery,[24] bed-linen, food, drink, clothing, and jewellery. A music album titled My First Album was released in July 2019.[25]
Video games
There have been several video games based on the property. In 2008, Pinnacle Software signed a deal with Contender Entertainment Group to publish licensed video games based on the property with Asylum Entertainment as developer.[26] The first title: Peppa Pig: The Game was released for the Nintendo DS in November 2008. Following Pinnacle’s insolvency in December that year,[27] a successor company — P2 Games, was founded in February 2009, and released a Wii version a year later on 27 November 2009 for the Nintendo Wii, with distribution by Ubisoft It is a children’s video game to learn and play, and it contains 11 games and activities.
A second game, Peppa Pig: Fun and Games was released on 22 October 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console and Nintendo DS hand-held game system. Asylum Entertainment and P2 Games remained as developer and publisher for the title.
A third game, My Friend Peppa Pig was developed by Petoons Studio and published by Outright Games. It released on 22 October 2021 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows, exactly 11 years after Peppa Pig: Fun and Games.[28][29]
Criticism and analysis
Comparison of identical frame in original (top) and re-edited versions of the Series 1 episode «Bicycles«, with cycle helmets added.
Peppa and her family did not wear seat belts in cars in the first two series. After receiving several complaints, Astley Baker Davies announced that all future animation would include characters wearing seat belts, and that the relevant scenes in the first two series would be re-animated to include them.[30] Similar changes were also made to add cycle helmets to early episodes with characters riding bicycles.[31]
Peppa was used to promote the pre-2010 Labour government’s Sure Start programme, which had the aim of «giving children the best possible start in life».[32] In April 2010, during the UK General Election campaign, E1 Entertainment said that Peppa would not attend the launch of the Labour Party’s families manifesto «in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding».
In 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation received a complaint that the Series 1 episode «Mister Skinnylegs» was not appropriate for Australian audiences, as it encouraged befriending spiders; deadly venomous spiders are prevalent in Australia. The complaint was upheld, and the episode was restricted from airing on the ABC network.[33]
In late May 2014, the ABC’s Mark Scott expressed fears about the future of Peppa on Australian television, given Australian federal budget cuts to ABC funding that were said to affect its ability to pay for, and broadcast, overseas media products such as Peppa Pig. Australian media noted the character’s appeal to Australian toddlers and echoed concerns about the future of her Australian distribution rights. Australian Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce made reference to the character as a menu item at a Thai restaurant, while conservative columnist Piers Akerman thought that Peppa «pushes a weird feminist line».[34] On 28 May 2014, Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull tweeted: «Contrary to media rumours, Peppa’s is one snout we are happy to have in the ABC trough».[35]
In 2015 Norman Lamb, a former UK health minister, said that programmes such as Peppa Pig should include gay characters, because having arbitrary boundaries as to what relationships are acceptable in children’s television was «not equitable».[36]
The British Medical Journal carried a light-hearted article in its Christmas 2017 edition, which suggested that although the programme includes numerous «positive public health messages, encouraging healthy eating, exercise, and road safety», it ran the risk of «contributing to unrealistic expectations of primary care» by depicting general practitioner Doctor Brown Bear as making out-of-hours home visits as soon as contacted about apparently trivial illnesses, and dispensing medicines rather too freely.[37] The media company responsible for Peppa Pig offered no comment when contacted about the article by the BBC.[38]
In November 2021, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaking at a Confederation of British Industry conference lost his place in his speech for about 20 seconds and diverted into a lengthy tangent about Peppa Pig,[39] describing the character’s shape as a «Picasso-like hairdryer».[40]
«Peppa Pig effect»
Since 2019, it has been observed that children in the US, where Peppa Pig had become an extremely popular programme, had been acquiring some Anglo-English, rather than American pronunciation and vocabulary. For example, tomato and zebra are pronounced in the English, rather than American way; words such as satnav, petrol, mummy and «biscuit» (instead of «cookie») are used; and comments such as «how clever», «Oh dear», and «can I have a go?» picked up.[41][42][43] This phenomenon was not an issue for many parents; it trended with the hashtag «#PeppaEffect».[41] Linguistics experts find those conclusions to be «likely exaggerated».[44] A written statement by Entertainment One Ltd. when asked of this phenomenon went on saying: «Young Peppa fans see her as a friend…and, as we do with friends that we admire, pick up some of their characteristics…imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.»[43]
Popularity in China
Peppa Pig is popular with mainstream China, and has been featured by official news media such as People’s Daily,[45] and even endorsed by People’s Liberation Army[46] and Chinese weapons manufacturer Norinco.[47] However, social media posts featuring concerned parents complaining against Peppa Pig have also gone viral.[48] In May 2018, digitally manipulated contents featuring adult content with Peppa Pig were blocked on the video app TikTok, also known as Douyin in China, due to concerns about exposure of adult content to children.[49] According to some media estimates, some 30,000 clips referenced under «#PeppaPig» were removed by the site.[50] The ban was in response to the prevalence of adult content featuring Peppa Pig created by shehuiren (simplified Chinese: 社会人; traditional Chinese: 社會人; pinyin: shè huì rén; literally «person of society») subculture, which used Peppa Pig as a criminal «mobster» icon, with members of the subculture creating memes and tattoos using imagery from the cartoon, containing adult humor. Original Peppa Pig cartoons remain accessible on all online platforms, including TikTok (Douyin).[citation needed]
Despite the controversy regarding its memes, the series and character remain popular within mainstream Chinese culture, as two Peppa Pig theme parks are set to open in Beijing and Shanghai in 2019.[needs update][51] In early 2019, to celebrate the Year of the Pig, the 81-minute animation/live-action film Peppa Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year was released in China.[52][53] Before the film’s release, a five-minute live-action promotional trailer went viral on social media in China, garnering a billion views and being re-posted by numerous state media outlets.[52] The film opened on 6 February 2019, and made US$14 million in the first three days.[54]

Первые 52 серии этого мультфильма вышли в мае 2004 года, в сентябре 2006 года вышли еще 52 эпизода, в 2009 году свет увидел третий выпуск в 52 серии, и наконец в 2011 году вышли 52 новых эпизода.
Главные герои сериала:
Еще есть дедушка и бабушка и другие родственники, а также многочисленные друзья Пеппы.
Нужно сразу же отметить, что «Peppa Pig» не является обучающим мультфильмом, в отличии от Gogo Loves English, но британский английский, на котором говорят герои, очень понятный. Темп речи — не очень быстрый, и лексика не такая уж сложная. К тому же, ребенку не обязательно понимать каждое слово, чтобы понять смысл мультфильма. Дети хорошо улавливают в мультике слова, которые они знают, и запоминают новые слова даже без перевода, соотнося слово с предметом (как это делают дети-носители языка).
Интересный факт: в первых сериях свинка Пеппа и ее семья ездили на машине и не пристегивались ремнями безопасности. После нескольких жалоб внимательных родителей, решено было обязать и Пеппу, и всю ее семью пользоваться ремнями безопасности, а 2 первых серии переснять!
Тоже самое пришлось сделать с эпизодами где несознательная Пеппа ездила на велосипеде без шлема.
Ежегодные кассовые сборы говорят о большой популярности мультсериала про Свинку Пеппу во многих странах, но также есть родители, которым не нравится этот мультфильм, и они запрещают детям смотреть его. Решать только вам!

Британский мультипликационный сериал – Peppa Pig(Свинка Пеппа)
Мультфильм Свинка Пеппа на английском языке просто незаменим для раннего обучения детей английскому языку. Веселый, красочный и смешной, он понравится ребенку любого возраста и ненавязчиво обучит звучанию английской речи. Сериал стал появляться на телевидении еще в 2004 году, а сегодня образ веселой свинки можно увидеть и на экране, и в книгах на полках магазинов, и в виде плюшевых игрушек в отделах детских товаров.
Описание мультфильма Свинка Пеппа
Свинка Пеппа (на английском — Peppa Pig)
Забавная хрюшка – толстушка и хохотушка со смешным именем Пеппа, и ее столь же жизнерадостное, и столь же упитанное хрюкающее семейство, покорили множество детских умов и сердец во всем мире. Небольшие комичные зарисовки из жизни свинок, во многом напоминают ситуации, возникающие в типичных английских (и не только) семьях среднего класса. Простые незатейливые истории, доступные для понимания даже самыми маленьким зрителям, излучают столько юмора и оптимизма, что находят своих почитателей и среди взрослой аудитории.
Мультфильм имеет очень интересный стиль. Все персонажи и сцены прорисованы очень примитивно, как будто это делала рука ребенка. Однако именно это в мультфильме больше всего и привлекает маленьких зрителей. Они узнают свои собственные рисунки, и без труда смогут нарисовать всех персонажей сериала.
Вместе с маленькой хрюшкой Пеппой, героиней одноимённого мультфильма, учить английский — одно удовольствие. Кстати, сама свинка тоже родом из Великобритании. Ребёнку обязательно понравится заниматься вместе с Пеппой. Тренируйте навыки аудирования, повторяйте за Пепой незнакомые слова, учитесь воспринимать разные голоса. Попробуйте посмотреть мультики на английском, если с переводом они уже засмотрены до дыр. Возможно, именно Пеппа побудит вашего ребёнка заняться иностранным языком.

Хорошее развлечение для детей дошкольного возраста
Каждое действие свинки сопровождает ненавязчивый закадровый голос. Это очень хороший ход, ведь благодаря ему ребенку «разжевывают» всё происходящее, и он не задает родителям лишних вопросов. Для совсем маленьких деток это будет большим плюсом. В русском варианте мультфильма звучит хороший, качественный перевод. Голос рассказчика приближен к детскому, что улучшает его восприятие.
Хоть мультфильм и назван обучающим, но кроме семейных сцен и прогулок с друзьями здесь мало чего можно встретить. Скорее, он является просто занимательным, показывая ребенку знакомые ситуации из его собственной жизни (поход в магазин, поездка к бабушке, визит врача и т.д.).
Если вы – родитель, и не знаете чем занять ребенка хотя бы на полчаса, то скачайте ему «Свинку Пеппу». Вас удивит, как это забавное животное завоевывает детские сердца. Правда, не забывайте, что малыши очень часто любят повторять движения любимых персонажей. Если вдруг ваш сын или дочка начнут прыгать и валяться в лужах, то лучше не показывайте им этот мультфильм.
Английские слова и фразы к мультфильму
Необыкновенно смешной и добрый мультфильм подарит прекрасное настроение малышам и их родителям! А ещё вы всей семьёй можете выучить английский алфавит, что позволит вашим деткам ещё и читать сказки!

Знакомимся с семьей Пеппы
Сериал стал появляться на телевидении еще в 2004 году, а сегодня образ веселой свинки можно увидеть и на экране, и в книгах на полках магазинов, и в виде плюшевых игрушек в отделах детских товаров.

Каждая из серий мультика про Пеппу весьма познавательна, да и детям интереснее изучать английский не только по учебникам, но и по таким видео. Например, посмотрев серию Звезды (Stars), малыши смогут выучить много новых английских слов, в том числе названия некоторых созвездий и звезд. Ниже приводится список таких слов с транскрипцией.
spacesuit [‘speɪssuːt] – космический костюм
Bed time, little ones – Пора спать, малыши
space mobile [speɪs] [məʊbaɪl] – космический мобиль на кроватку
boring [‘bɔ:rɪŋ] — скучный
the Big Dipper [big] [‘dɪpər]- Большая Медведица
the North Star [nɔ:rƟ] [stɑ:r] — Полярная звезда
planet Saturn [ˈplænɪt] [‘sætərn] — планета Сатурн
shooting star [‘ʃu:tɪŋ] [stɑ:r] – метеор, падающая звезда
Смотрим на видео: серия Stars на английском
Все герои увлекательного мультфильма Свинка Пеппа представлены в виде животных и так же, как разные животные, могут хрюкать, мяукать и гавкать. Однако, при этом они наделены всеми человеческими чертами: умеют общаться между собой, дружить, любить, радоваться или огорчаться. Родители маленьких героев сериала ходят на работу, некоторые из них умеют водить машину, автобус или трактор, как видно на картинке ниже.
создателей сериала Невилла Эстли и Марка Бейкера часто спрашивают о том, какая главная идея мультика. На это следует простой ответ, что в нем нет какой-то глобальной педагогической идеи. Каждая новая серия о свинке Пеппе, ее семье и друзьях – это сценка из жизни обычной семьи с двумя детьми, которые любят пошалить и поиграть. В то же время на примере жизненных ситуаций сериал учит ребенка дружить и прислушиваться к мнению других людей, любить и заботиться о семье и друзьях, развивать воображение и узнавать новые интересные факты.
Друзья Пеппы
Помимо семьи самой Пеппы, в сериале появляется большое количество других персонажей, которые также живут в семье и показывают на экране свои взаимоотношения. Мультфильм можно назвать не только развивающим, но и обучающим, ведь благодаря ему можно выучить довольно много названий животных на английском языке. В разных сериях появляются и кролики, и слоны, и козы, и лошади, и бегемоты, и волки, и еще множество животных.
Имена персонажей мультика придуманы таким образом, чтобы их первая буква соответствовала первой букве названия самого животного, например, Pedro Pony, Candy Cat, Emily Elephant. Это дает возможность лишний раз повторить с ребенком английский алфавит.
Давайте познакомимся поближе с друзьями свинки Пеппы и их родителями:
Конечно, у сериала есть не только поклонники, но и те, кто считает, что в мультфильме Peppa Pig пропагандируется баловство, непослушание и даже неуважение к старшим, что дети начинают слепо копировать шаловливое поведение Пеппы.
Здесь у каждого может быть собственное мнение, и только родителям решать, стоит или нет включать своему ребенку этот мультик. Вместе с тем, нужно понимать, что игровая деятельность является ведущей для детей дошкольников, и строгие запреты на игры и баловство в этом возрасте могут привести в дальнейшем к подавлению любых творческих задатков в малыше.
Задания к мультфильму
Свинка Пеппа относится к коротким мультфильмам, с помощью которых удобно изучать английский язык. Ведь их можно не только смотреть без ущерба для здоровья даже самых маленьких детей, но и выполнять к каждой новой серии разные задания. Например, в качестве задания к мультику можно даже испечь с ребенком вкусный тортик в виде зеленого динозавра.
Ниже приводятся еще примеры таких заданий.
Самостоятельно нарисовать и раскрасить персонажей или воспользоваться готовой раскраской, не забывая при этом повторять названия цветов по-английски. При этом можно воспользоваться картинками ниже.
Вырезать фигурки персонажей, наклеить их на плотный картон и использовать для разыгрывания сценки из мультика или в качестве украшений на детском празднике. Пример смотрите на фото ниже.
Найти отличия между двумя картинками Пеппы и Джорджа. Пример представлен на следующем фото.
Кроме того, можно ведь провести познавательный тест на английском на знание мультика о свинке Пеппе.
А напоследок предлагаем посмотреть на видео одну из серий мультфильма Свинка Пеппа – Muddy Puddles (Грязные лужи).
Английские слова и фразы к мультфильму:
It is raining [ˈreɪnɪŋ] – Идет дождь
to go out [ ʹgəʋʹaʋt ] – выходить на улицу
muddy [‘mʌdɪ] – грязный
puddle [‘pʌdəl] — лужа
to wear [weər] — надевать
to look after [luk] [‘ɑːftə] – присматривать за кем-то
to clean up[kli:n] [ʌp] – приводить в порядок

О сериале
Герои мультфильма наделены частично качествами людей, частично качествами животных. Они ходят в одежде, живут в домах, ездят на машинах, ходят на работу и в театр. Дети отмечают Дни Рождения, играют в парках, катаются на катках и занимаются всем, что присуще людям. В то же время свинки постоянно хрюкают, овечки блеют, кошки мяукают.
Обычно сюжет мультфильма − это какое-то семейное действие:
- семья идет кататься на каток,
- дети собираются в гости,
- семья отмечает День Рождения кого-то из членов семьи и прочее.
Часто мультфильм заканчивается на том, что все заливаются смехом и падают на спину.
Мультипликация создана в 2D-плоскости, с характерным для флеш-анимации стилем − разноцветные контуры, сплошные заливки. Хотя в качестве флеш-анимации сериал не распространялся.

Template:Short description Template:Pp Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox television Peppa Pig is a British preschool animated television series directed and produced by Astley Baker Davies in association with Entertainment One, Nick Jr. and Channel 5. The show revolves around Peppa, an anthropomorphic female pig, and her family and peers. The show originally aired on May 31 2004, and there have been six series as of 2019, the most recent of which commenced broadcasting in February 2019 in the UK. The series is shown in 180 territories including the US and UK.[1] It also aired reruns on the Nick Jr. on Nick block starting on December 25 2017. However, reruns were removed on February 4 2019.[2]
Background[]
Peppa Pig is a children’s television programme broadcasting on Channel 5 and Nick Jr. in the UK, Nickelodeon/Nick Jr. in the USA, ABC 4 Kids in Australia and Discovery Kids in Latin America, including Brazil. Each episode is approximately five minutes long. The show revolves around Peppa, an anthropomorphic female pig, and her family and friends. Each of her friends is a different species of animal. Peppa’s friends are her age, and Peppa’s younger brother George’s friends are his age. Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending playgroup, going swimming, visiting their grandparents, cousins, going to the playground or riding their bikes.
The characters wear clothes, live in houses, and drive cars, but still display some characteristics of the animals on which they are based. Peppa and her family snort like pigs during conversations in which they are speaking English, and the other animals make their respective noises when they talk, with some exhibiting other characteristics, such as the Rabbit family’s squeaking sounds and enjoyment of carrots. The Rabbits are also the sole exception to the rule of human-like habitation, in that they live in a burrow in a hill, though it has windows and is furnished in the same way as the other houses. The characters also blush when embarrassed and their mouths express other emotions such as sadness, happiness, irritation, bewilderment and confusion. Although the main characters mostly mammals are anthropomorphic, other animal characters are not, such as Tiddles the tortoise, Polly Parrot, and the ducks. The narrator of the series, John Sparkes, reinforces the action and humour, saying things like Oh, dear when something unfortunate happens such as George starts crying or Look out! when a character is doing something unsafe such as Peppa riding her bicycle without looking where she’s going.
The first series of 52 five-minute episodes started on Channel 5 on May 31 2004, and had its American premiere as part of Cartoon Network‘s Tickle-U preschool television programming block on August 22 2005, redubbed with American actors,[3] and Noggin in December 2007 and January 2008. As of 2014 the series airs on Nick Jr. in the US. It can also be seen on Nick Jr. in the UK, Portugal, Italy, Benelux, Scandinavia and Australia. In Taiwan the show can be seen on Playhouse Disney. The second series of 52 episodes began on Channel 5 on September 4 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, among other cast changes. The third series started broadcasting on the Channel 5 kids block Milkshake! on May 4 2009 with Harley Bird replacing Cecily Bloom and Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa.

Film and cinema experience[]
A 15-minute film called Peppa Pig: The Golden Boots[5] was released on February 14 2015 [6] alongside several episodes of the TV series.[7] As of December 2015, it had grossed £2,326,328.[8]

Peppa Pig World Theme Park[]

Peppa Pig World, a family theme park located in the New Forest, Hampshire,[9] opened on April 9 2011 at Paultons Park, Hampshire, UK with seven rides, an indoor play zone, a muddy puddles water splash park, smaller play areas and themed buildings.
Merchandise[]
Peppa Pig, the Entertainment One eOne brand, grossed over £200 million in UK merchandise sales in 2010, far exceeding the 2009 figure of £100 million. Additionally, for the first time in the brand’s history, NPD figures for the year reveal that Peppa Pig was the number one pre-school property in the total toy market for 2010 moving up four places from its previous position in 2009. Now in its seventh year, new licensees continue to join the Peppa Pig licensing programme, which currently has 63 licensees on board.[10]
In addition to episode DVDs, a variety of licensed Peppa Pig products are available, play including video games and other toys such as playsets, playing cards, vehicles, and stuffed toys. Merchandise has also been expanded to include household items such as bathroom products, stationery,[11] bed-linens, food, drink, clothing, and jewellery. Licensees include Holland Publishing in the United Kingdom. A music album titled My First Album was released in July 2019.[12]
Criticism, controversy, concerns and influences[]
File:Peppa Bicycles.jpg Comparison of identical frame in original (top) and re-edited versions of the Series 1 episode «Bicycles«, with cycle helmets added.
Peppa and her family did not wear seat belts in the first two series. After receiving several complaints, Astley Baker Davies announced that all future animation would include characters wearing seat belts, and that the relevant scenes in the first two series would be re-animated to include them.[13] Similar changes were also made to early episodes with characters riding bicycles to add cycle helmets, which were not included in the original versions.[14]
In April 2010, during the UK General Election campaign, E1 Entertainment confirmed Peppa would not be attending the launch of the UK Labour Party‘s families manifesto in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding. Peppa had previously been used to promote the Labour government’s Sure Start programme.[1]
In 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation received a complaint that the episode Mister Skinnylegs was not appropriate for Australian audiences, since it encouraged befriending spiders. Given the toxicity of some common Australian spiders, the complaint was upheld and the episode was restricted from being aired on the ABC’s television networks.[15]
In late May 2014, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation‘s Mark Scott expressed fears about the future of Peppa on Australian television, given Australian federal budget cuts to ABC funding that were said to affect its ability to pay for, and broadcast, overseas media products such as Peppa Pig. Australian media noted the character’s appeal to Australian toddlers and echoed concerns about the future of her Australian distribution rights. Australian Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce made reference to the character as a menu item at a Thai restaurant, while conservative columnist Piers Akerman thought that Peppa pushes a weird feminist line.[16] On 28 May 2014, then-Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull quelled fears about the future of Peppa Pig on Australian TV, by tweeting that Contrary to media rumours, Peppa’s is one snout we are happy to have in the ABC trough.[17]
During September 2015, the cartoon once again entered the realm of political parody, as commentators referenced it when making light of the supposed Piggate scandal revolving around David Cameron.[18] Earlier in 2015, former UK health minister Norman Lamb said that programmes such as Peppa Pig should include gay characters, because having arbitrary boundaries as to what relationships are acceptable in children’s television was not equitable.[19]
The British Medical Journal carried a light-hearted article in its Christmas 2017 edition, which suggested that although the programme includes numerous positive public health messages, encouraging healthy eating, exercise, and road safety, it ran the risk of contributing to unrealistic expectations of primary care by depicting general practitioner Doctor Brown Bear as making out-of-hours home visits as soon as contacted about apparently trivial illnesses, and dispensing medicines rather too freely.[20] The media company responsible for Peppa Pig offered no comment when contacted about the article by the BBC.[21]
Peppa in China[]
Peppa Pig is popular with mainstream China, and has been featured by official news media such as People’s Daily,[22] and even endorsed by People’s Liberation Army [23] and Chinese weapons manufacturer Norinco. [24] However, social media posts featuring concerned parents complaining against Peppa Pig have also gone viral.[25] In May 2018, digitally manipulated contents featuring adult content with Peppa Pig were blocked on the video app Tik Tok, also known as Douyin in China, due to concerns about exposure of adult content to children.[26] According to some media estimates, some 30,000 clips referenced under #PeppaPig were removed by the site.[27] The ban was a result of prevalence of adult content featuring Peppa Pig created by shehuiren Template:Zh literally society person subculture, which used Peppa Pig as a criminal mobster icon, with members of the subculture creating adult-humored memes and tattoos using imagery from the cartoon.[28] Original Peppa Pig cartoons remain accessible on all online platforms, including Tik Tok (Douyin).
Despite the above controversy, the series and character remain popular within mainstream Chinese culture, as two Peppa Pig theme parks are set to open in Beijing and Shanghai in 2019.[29] In early 2019, to celebrate the Year of the Pig, the 81-minute animation/live-action film Peppa Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year was released in China.[30][31] Before the film’s release, a five-minute live-action promotional trailer went viral on social media in China, garnering a billion views and being re-posted by numerous state media outlets.[30] The film opened on 6 February 2019, and made US$14 million in the first three days.[32]

Template:Short description Template:Pp Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox television Peppa Pig is a British preschool animated television series directed and produced by Astley Baker Davies in association with Entertainment One, Nick Jr. and Channel 5. The show revolves around Peppa, an anthropomorphic female pig, and her family and peers. The show originally aired on May 31 2004, and there have been six series as of 2019, the most recent of which commenced broadcasting in February 2019 in the UK. The series is shown in 180 territories including the US and UK.[1] It also aired reruns on the Nick Jr. on Nick block starting on December 25 2017. However, reruns were removed on February 4 2019.[2]
Background[]
Peppa Pig is a children’s television programme broadcasting on Channel 5 and Nick Jr. in the UK, Nickelodeon/Nick Jr. in the USA, ABC 4 Kids in Australia and Discovery Kids in Latin America, including Brazil. Each episode is approximately five minutes long. The show revolves around Peppa, an anthropomorphic female pig, and her family and friends. Each of her friends is a different species of animal. Peppa’s friends are her age, and Peppa’s younger brother George’s friends are his age. Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending playgroup, going swimming, visiting their grandparents, cousins, going to the playground or riding their bikes.
The characters wear clothes, live in houses, and drive cars, but still display some characteristics of the animals on which they are based. Peppa and her family snort like pigs during conversations in which they are speaking English, and the other animals make their respective noises when they talk, with some exhibiting other characteristics, such as the Rabbit family’s squeaking sounds and enjoyment of carrots. The Rabbits are also the sole exception to the rule of human-like habitation, in that they live in a burrow in a hill, though it has windows and is furnished in the same way as the other houses. The characters also blush when embarrassed and their mouths express other emotions such as sadness, happiness, irritation, bewilderment and confusion. Although the main characters mostly mammals are anthropomorphic, other animal characters are not, such as Tiddles the tortoise, Polly Parrot, and the ducks. The narrator of the series, John Sparkes, reinforces the action and humour, saying things like Oh, dear when something unfortunate happens such as George starts crying or Look out! when a character is doing something unsafe such as Peppa riding her bicycle without looking where she’s going.
The first series of 52 five-minute episodes started on Channel 5 on May 31 2004, and had its American premiere as part of Cartoon Network‘s Tickle-U preschool television programming block on August 22 2005, redubbed with American actors,[3] and Noggin in December 2007 and January 2008. As of 2014 the series airs on Nick Jr. in the US. It can also be seen on Nick Jr. in the UK, Portugal, Italy, Benelux, Scandinavia and Australia. In Taiwan the show can be seen on Playhouse Disney. The second series of 52 episodes began on Channel 5 on September 4 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, among other cast changes. The third series started broadcasting on the Channel 5 kids block Milkshake! on May 4 2009 with Harley Bird replacing Cecily Bloom and Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa.

There is a line of personalised books in which any child can be added into the story with Peppa and her friends.[4] There is also a series of books based on Peppa Pig, one of which, Peppa Meets the Queen, was written to coincide with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Film and cinema experience[]
A 15-minute film called Peppa Pig: The Golden Boots[5] was released on February 14 2015 [6] alongside several episodes of the TV series.[7] As of December 2015, it had grossed £2,326,328.[8]
A second film, branded a cinema experience was released on March 16 2017, and was shown in cinemas on April 7 2017. It features nine exclusive new episodes, four of which share the same theme, Peppa’s holiday in Australia. Between the episodes are segments with a live-action host named Daisy and Peppa and George as 3D puppets, based on the Peppa Pig Live stage show.
Peppa Pig World Theme Park[]

Peppa Pig World, a family theme park located in the New Forest, Hampshire,[9] opened on April 9 2011 at Paultons Park, Hampshire, UK with seven rides, an indoor play zone, a muddy puddles water splash park, smaller play areas and themed buildings.
Merchandise[]
Peppa Pig, the Entertainment One eOne brand, grossed over £200 million in UK merchandise sales in 2010, far exceeding the 2009 figure of £100 million. Additionally, for the first time in the brand’s history, NPD figures for the year reveal that Peppa Pig was the number one pre-school property in the total toy market for 2010 moving up four places from its previous position in 2009. Now in its seventh year, new licensees continue to join the Peppa Pig licensing programme, which currently has 63 licensees on board.[10]
In addition to episode DVDs, a variety of licensed Peppa Pig products are available, play including video games and other toys such as playsets, playing cards, vehicles, and stuffed toys. Merchandise has also been expanded to include household items such as bathroom products, stationery,[11] bed-linens, food, drink, clothing, and jewellery. Licensees include Holland Publishing in the United Kingdom. A music album titled My First Album was released in July 2019.[12]
Criticism, controversy, concerns and influences[]
File:Peppa Bicycles.jpg Comparison of identical frame in original (top) and re-edited versions of the Series 1 episode «Bicycles«, with cycle helmets added.
Peppa and her family did not wear seat belts in the first two series. After receiving several complaints, Astley Baker Davies announced that all future animation would include characters wearing seat belts, and that the relevant scenes in the first two series would be re-animated to include them.[13] Similar changes were also made to early episodes with characters riding bicycles to add cycle helmets, which were not included in the original versions.[14]
In April 2010, during the UK General Election campaign, E1 Entertainment confirmed Peppa would not be attending the launch of the UK Labour Party‘s families manifesto in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding. Peppa had previously been used to promote the Labour government’s Sure Start programme.[1]
In 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation received a complaint that the episode Mister Skinnylegs was not appropriate for Australian audiences, since it encouraged befriending spiders. Given the toxicity of some common Australian spiders, the complaint was upheld and the episode was restricted from being aired on the ABC’s television networks.[15]
In late May 2014, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation‘s Mark Scott expressed fears about the future of Peppa on Australian television, given Australian federal budget cuts to ABC funding that were said to affect its ability to pay for, and broadcast, overseas media products such as Peppa Pig. Australian media noted the character’s appeal to Australian toddlers and echoed concerns about the future of her Australian distribution rights. Australian Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce made reference to the character as a menu item at a Thai restaurant, while conservative columnist Piers Akerman thought that Peppa pushes a weird feminist line.[16] On 28 May 2014, then-Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull quelled fears about the future of Peppa Pig on Australian TV, by tweeting that Contrary to media rumours, Peppa’s is one snout we are happy to have in the ABC trough.[17]
During September 2015, the cartoon once again entered the realm of political parody, as commentators referenced it when making light of the supposed Piggate scandal revolving around David Cameron.[18] Earlier in 2015, former UK health minister Norman Lamb said that programmes such as Peppa Pig should include gay characters, because having arbitrary boundaries as to what relationships are acceptable in children’s television was not equitable.[19]
The British Medical Journal carried a light-hearted article in its Christmas 2017 edition, which suggested that although the programme includes numerous positive public health messages, encouraging healthy eating, exercise, and road safety, it ran the risk of contributing to unrealistic expectations of primary care by depicting general practitioner Doctor Brown Bear as making out-of-hours home visits as soon as contacted about apparently trivial illnesses, and dispensing medicines rather too freely.[20] The media company responsible for Peppa Pig offered no comment when contacted about the article by the BBC.[21]
Peppa in China[]
Peppa Pig is popular with mainstream China, and has been featured by official news media such as People’s Daily,[22] and even endorsed by People’s Liberation Army [23] and Chinese weapons manufacturer Norinco. [24] However, social media posts featuring concerned parents complaining against Peppa Pig have also gone viral.[25] In May 2018, digitally manipulated contents featuring adult content with Peppa Pig were blocked on the video app Tik Tok, also known as Douyin in China, due to concerns about exposure of adult content to children.[26] According to some media estimates, some 30,000 clips referenced under #PeppaPig were removed by the site.[27] The ban was a result of prevalence of adult content featuring Peppa Pig created by shehuiren Template:Zh literally society person subculture, which used Peppa Pig as a criminal mobster icon, with members of the subculture creating adult-humored memes and tattoos using imagery from the cartoon.[28] Original Peppa Pig cartoons remain accessible on all online platforms, including Tik Tok (Douyin).
Despite the above controversy, the series and character remain popular within mainstream Chinese culture, as two Peppa Pig theme parks are set to open in Beijing and Shanghai in 2019.[29] In early 2019, to celebrate the Year of the Pig, the 81-minute animation/live-action film Peppa Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year was released in China.[30][31] Before the film’s release, a five-minute live-action promotional trailer went viral on social media in China, garnering a billion views and being re-posted by numerous state media outlets.[30] The film opened on 6 February 2019, and made US$14 million in the first three days.[32]
