Meet Peppa Pig

Since 2004, Peppa Pig has been making waves as a five-minute preschool animated television series. It is created, directed and produced by Astley Baker Davis and distributed by E1 Kids. Each episode revolves around an anthropomorphic female pig named, Peppa, and her everyday activities together with her family and friends. Although her friends are of the same age as hers, they are of different mammal species such as dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, etc.

Peppa Pig and her family and friends are featured wearing clothes and doing human activities like riding bikes, driving cars, going to the playground, or visiting relatives. However, they still demonstrate characteristics typical of animals they represent. For example, Peppa and her family snort as they converse in English, the Rabbit family loves to feast on carrots, and the Elephants use their trunk as an extra hand. The characters also effectively display human emotions such as happiness, sadness, surprise, and irritation.
