''Peppa Pig'' is a British pre-school animated television series created, directed and produced by Neville Astley, Creator/MarkBaker and Phil Davies (the same team that made ''WesternAnimation/TheBigKnights'' and who also make ''WesternAnimation/BenAndHollysLittleKingdom'') and distributed by Creator/EntertainmentOne. Debuted in 2004 on Creator/Channel5 with new episodes premiering as of August 2021, and [[LongRunners renewed through at least 2027]].

The series centers on Peppa and her family and friends. Other characters are other anthropomorphic animals whose [[AlliterativeName names always start with the first letter]] of the name of their species. Popular enough in the UK to have an entire section of a children's theme park (Paulton's Park) called Peppa Pig World open in 2011. As of 2022, it is now popular enough in the U.S. that it has its own [[https://www.peppapigthemepark.com/florida/ theme park]] there as well (as part of Ride/{{LEGOLAND}} Florida Resort).

It's so popular in the UK in fact, it may as well be one of the few shows in history to have episodes premiere '''in cinemas'''. [[http://lifestyle.one/closer/entertainment/soaps/peppa-pig-first-cinema-experience-film/ No, we're not joking]].[[note]]The other main UK examples are ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' and ''Series/DoctorWho'', so that's the kind of cultural phenomnenon we're talking about here[[/note]] The massive international popularity of the series resulted in the Chinese release ''Peppa Celebrates Chinese New Year'', with plans for a limited subtitled U.S. release as well.

* GlitterLitter: Addressed ''twice'' in Season 5, in contrast to how the children believe EverythingsBetterWithSparkles.
** In the episode "School Project", Suzy Sheep asks for permission to use glitter for her art project for playgroup, to which Madame Gazelle, the playgroup teacher, replies they can't use too much as it gets everywhere. Later in the episode, Peppa's parents attempt to dissuade her from incorporating glitter as a finishing touch into her art project. Predictably, one GilliganCut later, most of the playgroup and their parents show up with glitter all over their clothes, with similarly sparkly art projects.
** In the episode "Masks", Madame Gazelle [[ContinuityNod continues to be]] adamantly of this belief, to the point of keeping all the glitter in the playgroup (read: a small vial of it) inside [[SeriousBusiness a locked vault]]. The glitter leak at the end of the episode ultimately [[PaintingTheMedium spills out]] onto the [[CreativeClosingCredits closing credits]] as well as the entire classroom.
