description

The eponymous main character Peppa Wutz ("Wutz" is a synonym for pig in South and Central West Germany) is a female piglet who, like the other animals on the show, is humanized . The episodes, each around 5 minutes long, deal with situations from the everyday life of the child audience such as cycling , playground , flea market in kindergarten , soap bubbles , vacation on the beach .

After complaints about Peppa and her family not wearing seat belts in the car for the first two seasons, Astley Baker Davies announced that the characters would wear seat belts in all future episodes and that key scenes from the first two seasons would be reworked accordingly. The same applies to missing bicycle helmets .
