Peppa Pig: Muddy Puddles DVD Debut!


This September, a cheeky little pig makes her stateside DVD debut as Lionsgate releases the first ever title starring the popular preschool character in Peppa Pig: Muddy Puddles. Featuring 12 episodes from the hit television series that debuted on Cartoon Network’s “Tickle U” programming block for preschoolers, the DVD follows Peppa, a silly little piggy who lives with her little brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, through every day adventures as she plays games, makes new friends and enjoys her absolute favorite activity – jumping up and down in muddy puddles! Available on DVD on September 25th, the Peppa Pig: Muddy Puddles DVD features two fun games for preschoolers to play along with – “Jumping into Muddy Puddles” and “The Happy Mrs. Chicken.”


Peppa Pig television series is focused on simple life lessons that humorously portray a child’s first steps towards a sense of independence. With a sincere appreciation for the importance of family and friends at their core, each episode ends by teaching a firm but loving lesson to its viewers. Each episode concerns a situation that will be familiar to small children such as bath time, muddy puddles, birthdays and helping mom and dad, and the tone of the series is fun and charming in a way that appeals to both small children and parents watching with them. An international success since its debut in the UK in 2005, Peppa Pig is broadcast in over 90 countries worldwide and has received numerous awards, including Best Pre-school Series and Best European Programme of the Year at the Cartoons on the Bay Awards in May 2005. It was also named Winner of the Cristal for Best TV Production at Annecy 2005 and received a BAFTA Award nomination. At retail, Peppa Pig has enjoyed tremendous international success, with the total franchise DVD sales in the UK having already surpassed the 500,000 mark in just two years.
