Peppa Pig to leave Amazon Prime Video very soon as parents issued warning
Peppa Pig has been a huge hit with children and parents alike since it first hit screens in 2004. GMB's Richard Arnold chats to Peppa Pig Parents have been alerted as one of the most popular children's TV shows is due to depart from Amazon Prime Video in less than 30 days. Peppa Pig, which first graced our screens in 2004, quickly became a sensation and has even prompted breaking news bulletins on programmes such as Good Morning Britain. The animated series revolves around Peppa, a young piglet, her brother George, Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig and a host of anthropomorphic friends. Since its inception, Peppa Pig has taken the globe by storm, being aired in over 180 countries. Each episode, lasting approximately five minutes, follows Peppa as she learns new skills, makes friends and plays, with most episodes concluding with Peppa and her pals collapsing in fits of laughter, reports the Express. In addition to teaching children about friendship and manners, the long-standing series has kept toddlers engrossed for hours on end. But it's not just parents who have sung praises for the cherished children's programme, but also those reminiscing about their own childhood. One person said: "This show is astonishing. I have grew up watching this show and all I can think of when I hear those two words "peppa pig" is MEMORIES of me loving there admiration for jumping up and down in muddy puddles." A fervent reviewer exclaimed: "This show, no, this masterpiece, has flooded my mind with thought and astonishment. Countless hours I have spent pondering the fabric and creation of this program. Peppa Pig may be the greatest sight I have ever laid eyes on." Another shared their affection for the show, saying: "Lovely lessons, gentle stories. My granddaughter has enjoyed Peppa from very tiny toddler and still watches them at 7 yrs old. The lessons on friendship are so important. It is so creative the way they use all the different animal characters." One parent expressed their appreciation: "I genuinely enjoy this show. I love that the characters and story lines are very family oriented and that they deal with real life situations. To me, it teaches my almost 3 yr old how people should react in what could be potentially high stress situations. Everyone is always calm and talks things through with each other. As a Mom, I love that she sees a family relating to each other that way." Despite its current popularity, Daddy Pig's voice actor once disclosed that there were initial doubts about the show's appeal. In a 2004 interview marking two decades since the inception of Peppa Pig, Richard Ridings told Metro about his early uncertainty regarding te show's potential success. "At the time I thought a family of pigs was a bit weird," he admitted. "But as soon as you see it, you get it, and hear the script and how witted they are, it does make sense." He further commented: "I thought I wanted to be involved even if it was tiny, but who could imagine it being so big across the world."

7 Dark Theories About Peppa Pig, That Are Going To Ruin You're Childhood
1) The Peppa Pig Characters Are Part Of A Cult One of the more recent Peppa Pig fan theories that's been doing the rounds online is that Peppa Pig, her family, and every inhabitant of the town they live in are part of a strange cult. This theory takes in several seemingly innocent aspects of the show and puts an incredibly dark spin on them. For example, all of the adults in the show don't seem to have names. The theory posits that, when the children in Peppa Pig's city reach adulthood, they shed their names and identity. According to the theory, this is due to their strange beliefs and is part of their form of is why Mummy, Daddy, and other adults who simply are only Mr, Mrs, or Miss followed by whatever animal they are, never refer to each-other by name (unlike, for example, the adults in similar kids shows like Bluey). The theory also points to the strange landscape the characters in Peppa Pig inhabit. Peppa's house, and many other buildings, are all placed on incredibly steep hills and are spaced incredibly far apart. The theory suggests that this isn't just a design choice but a deliberate one by the cult members — they've chosen to isolate themselves from the wider world. 2) The Animals In Peppa Pig Are Cannibals This particular Peppa Pig fan theory is one that almost all shows featuring talking animals gets tied to sooner or later. Essentially, because there are various occasions where the characters in Peppa Pig are seen having BBQs and eating meat, one popular theory is that Mummy, Daddy, Peppa, and George are all cannibals. This is one Peppa Pig theory that could technically be true, since it's never stated anywhere that Peppa and her peers are whether eating meat would mean they're full-blown cannibals is more of an assumption. At best, it's similar to the fact that some cultures eat monkeys and other primates — technically not human beings, but close enough relatives that people from other cultures find the idea troublesome. This doesn't make them cannibals in the traditional sense, but the fact that Peppa Pig may well have enjoyed a pork chop from a non-talking pig in her world definitely raises many questions about the rules of meat eating in a world populated by talking animals. 3) The Peppa Pig Characters Are Reincarnated Dead People The "they're dead" theory is as old as time, but one dark Peppa Pig fan theory puts a bit of a spin on the concept. No matter the specific show or movie it's applied to, the theory always runs in more-or-less the same way — the reality being presented to viewers is actually some kind of afterlife. Some imaginative viewers believe that Peppa and all the characters are actually reincarnated dead people who have shifted to other livesThe theory itself is somewhat vague, and is further complicated by the idea that the entire scenario is dreamed up by Granny Pig who suffers from delusions brought on by grief. While quite dark, there is no evidence within the series to prove or disprove the theory and exists in the headcanon of fans who want their Peppa a bit darker 4) Madame Gazelle is a Vampire The lovely school teacher that had taught Peppa's parents and Peppa and her friends, is thought to be a vampire, This is the theory that I believe that is the most true, and there are quite a lot of evidence to back it of all why we may think this teacher is centuries old is because she has taught different generations without aging. In old clips of Mummy and Daddy pig in the 'olden days' also includes Madame gazelle looking exactly the same as when we see her teaching the students now. Although Mummy and Daddy pig, as well as all the other characters have aged, their teacher has not. This isn't that convincing because it has been a lot of years that Peppa and her friends have not aged, despite growing older from when they were babies. Next Madame gazelle's under eyes are white, indicating she is covering something up. People believe she is covering her eye bags, as vampire don't sleep. In another episode Madame gazelle is going on holiday, and Peppa offers to look after her pet hamsters. Peppa's parents later get informed that they have to buy things for the hamster and when it comes to feeding, they get fed at the middle of the night. What normal, sane person would wake up in the middle of the night to feed their hamster. As I explained above vampire don't sleep, so feeding them at 12am wouldn't been an other episodes- like Madame gazelles's house, (when we find bats at the top of the tree) she says that they remind her of the old country. Why would bats remind someone of the old country. Also in that same episode when they show her house before it was leaning over, on her wall was a photo of her and someone who people believe WAS her husband. And when they show this clip, Madame Gazelle says it was a very very very long time ago. That same photo was shown in the current day, and then which we can infer her husband is now long gone, but being a vampire she still remains. Last evidence is in the episode halloween party, Suzy sheep is standing in front of a mirror as Madame gazelle complements her on her vampire costume. Madame gazelle then says that her costume reminds her of the old days. Shortly after the narrator exclaims 'That's strange Madame gazelle has no relection in the mirror.' When she is clearly standing directly in front of it, and Suzy who is standing further away, has a distinct reflection. The way the narrator casually adresses it, signals that the creator is hinting at something. Is she a vampire, oh I think she is! 5) Peppa Pig Is A Dead Child (& So Are All The Other Animals) Perhaps the most pervasive fan theory of all is the idea that Peppa is actually a dead child and all of her companions in Peppatown have also passed away. Like most fan theories, the idea is rather flexible and can run the gamut from the most disturbing possibilities to something more quaint, depending on the imagination of the origin of the theory can perhaps be chalked up to an attempt to explain Peppa's strange world, and why everything seemingly revolves around the little girl and the things she loves. The safer answer could always be that Peppatown is merely a child's interpretation of the world around her, or it could be seen as an afterlife of sorts where everything is just a little off. Because the theory essentially encompasses the entire universe that the show takes place in, it is impossible to debunk or prove, unless one of the show's creators were to come forward and confirm the interpretation. 6) Some Animals Are Still Animals Because It's An Orwellian Dystopia While there's nothing genuinely frightening about the kid's show on the surface, some aspects of Peppa Pig don't add up, and that has inspired dark fan theories. Peppa and all of her friends and family are all animals, however, there are other animals in the series that aren't anthropomorphic. In season 6, episode 18, "Petting Farm", Peppa and her family visit a petting zoo where they learn an important lesson about animals. While Peppa fed chickens and played with guinea pigs, adult fans were left questioning why there were still lower animals in Peppa's world.A particularly studious fan theory equated Peppa's world to the writings of author George Orwell and his 1945 novella Animal Farm. Some viewers theorize that Peppa Pig takes place in the same Orwellian dystopia as the short book, and it even fits with the fact that Peppa is a pig which was shown to be the highest form of animal in Orwell's story. Acting as a symbol for society, Orwell's pigs lorded over the other barnyard animals, and it is quite similar to the way that Peppa obviously exists in a higher social sphere than the chickens and guinea pigs who are ostensibly pets, and presumably food. 7) Other theories - George Pig was adopted- Daddy Pig clones Miss Rabbit, so she doesn't do all the jobs in the world- Miss Rabbit is a serial killer- Peppaworld is Peppa's lucid dream, as she's in coma- Mummy Pig's real name is Peninsula Pig- Peppa is evil- Where and what happened to Daddy sheep

Mom reveals why her toddler son isn't allowed to watch 'Peppa Pig'
The animated kids TV show 'Peppa Pig' is facing scrutiny — and some moms are starting to push back. On July 13, one concerned mother, identified on social media as Kelly Arvan of Australia, took to TikTok to share an urgent warning to parents who let their kids watch 'Peppa Pig' after her son adopted a not-so-friendly phrase from the popular show. As she explains in the video, 'Peppa Pig' is no longer welcome inside her household. 'My son watches 'Peppa Pig,'' Arvan says at the beginning of the video. 'Like a month ago, he started going around to everyone saying, 'You're not my best friend.'' Arvan, who had no idea why her son was saying the phrase, told him it wasn't nice and that he wasn't allowed to say it anymore. It wasn't until she heard Peppa Pig say it in an episode of the show that she connected the dots. 'I'm just sitting on the couch and Kia (her son) is watching 'Peppa Pig' and I hear Peppa Pig saying, 'You're not my best friend anymore,'' she explained in her TikTok. Arvan immediately turned the show off before telling her son that he's not allowed to watch it anymore. Many parents took to the comment section to agree with Arvan, while praising other popular children shows like 'Bluey.' 'Bluey would never,' one parent commented. 'Peppa pig is a brat, I banned my kids when I noticed their energy shifting,' another parent commented. 'Blueys where its at now if bluey said it, there would be a lesson as to why its not nice,' a third user wrote. In an interview with Kidspot, published July 16, Arvan said it took her son, who is 3, about two weeks to stop saying the phrase after 'a lot of correcting and teaching.' 'Everytime I heard him say it, I'd ask him 'My son, where did you learn this? We don't say that, it's ok for someone to not be your best friend but you don't say it to hurt someone,'' she told the outlet. Now, when Arvan's son sees Peppa Pig on the TV, he knows to find something else to watch. 'Today for his screen time when I was browsing kids Netflix for him Peppa did pass the TV, Kia did say 'no more naughty Peppa' and he chose another show,' Arvan told Kidspot. Her son has since moved on to what Arvan described as more positive shows like Ms. Rachel and 'Trash Truck.' 'If he's watching something like Ms. Rachel or Trash Truck he is in a happy positive mood, when he's watching Peppa pig he can be a little more sassy,' she said of her son's change in behavior. Arvan's comments about 'Peppa Pig' are nothing new to the parenting community. Parents have long criticized the show for its bad messaging, which often includes fat-shaming Daddy Pig and other rude comments from members of the animated family. 'Peppa is just a spoiled brat who does nothing but fat shame her dad and get her way,' one parent wrote in a review, according to Common Sense Media. Another parent on the review site praised the show for being 'really funny' and described it as 'good for kids.' One parent said they liked the show for it's educational value, saying 'My 2 year old son learned a lot from the show.' As for Arvan, she now knows to keep her eyes (and ears) open when it comes to shows her son watches. 'Peppa is not a role model I personally as a parent would be proud for my child to learn from,' she told Kidspot. 'As parents we always monitor screen time, but small quick sentences from shows like this can be easily missed,' she added. 'With him being our first son, there is no parenting rule book. We are learning along the way as well and we are proud to share our knowledge with other parents,' she continued. Solve the daily Crossword
