Peppa Pig Fan

These websites are the ones with the online activities. We like Happy Mrs Chicken on the first site, although you can't get beyond 999 eggs (not that I tried, the kids told me you understand )

The Peppa Pig magazine has been available since January 2007. More details about it can be found at http://www.redan.co.uk/RedanLive/Peppa.asp

Now, we have never bought the Peppa Pig magazine so are unable to comment on the content of it, but we have collected the Peppa Pig ABC Wall frieze through the Redan Friends magazine. The Friends magazine goes down very well with my 6 year old!

I wish that they had put a little more though into the wall frieze though. I would have preferred to see G for George and M for Mummy pig. Although E was Elephant it would have been nice to see Emily Elephant there. Or maybe I'm more of a Peppa Pig fan than my 18 mth old!

Courtousy of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppa_Pig)

Peppa Pig is a UK animated television series about the life of an anthropomorphic pig, Peppa, and her family. Peppa Pig and her family and friends are all anthropomorphized animals drawn in such a stylised fashion that their heads are always in profile, creating the impression of both eyes being on the same side of their face. They 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 and also like to jump in muddy puddles. The other animals also make their respective appropriate noises when they talk. One exception to the rule of human-like habitation is the rabbit family, who live in a burrow in a hill, although it does have windows.

Peppa's family consists of Daddy Pig (who is a bit bumbling and eats too much), Mummy Pig (who is far more sensible and practical than Daddy), Peppa, and her little brother George. There are also a Grandpa and Grandma Pig, but it is not clear if they are Daddy or Mummy Pig's parents. Peppa's favourite toy is her Teddy, while George's is "Mr Dinosaur," although he can only say "Dine-saw." Peppa goes to a playgroup run my Madame Gazelle.

The show first aired on Five in 2004, and had its American premiere as part of Cartoon Network's Tickle-U preschool television programming block on August 22, 2005, re-dubbed with American voices. In the United Kingdom, it can also be seen on Nick Jr., the same with Portugal, Italy, Benelux, Scandinavia and Australia. The show just arrived in Taiwan on Playhouse Disney and should soon arrive to Cartoon Network.

By August of 2005, 52 five-minute episodes had been made by Astley Baker Davies in conjunction with The Contender Group. The show features voices of some members of the Absolutely Scottish comedy group as well as character actors, veteran voice artistes, and children. The stories are designed to appeal to pre-school children, but also to adults and older children, particularly when it comes to the behaviour of the parent and grandparent animals.

A second series of 52 episodes began on Five on Monday 4 September 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, amongst other cast changes."

Okay, so maybe Peppa Pig isn't everybodies cup of tea, but we like her in this household.

So if you want to keep up with the juicy gossip on Peppa Pig - this is the place to be!

OINK!
