Peppa Pig: How it all started

It all started when the producer of Peppa Pig, Phil Davies was studying animation at the Middlesex University. There he became friends with, Neville Astley and Mark Baker. However, Davies lost interest in animation and decided to become a producer but Astley and Baker stuck at it. A few years later, things became tough for both Astley and Baker so, Davies decided to do something together and the trio soon came up with the idea of Peppa Pig. They then began to think about the theme of the show and eventually decided to create a four-year old character called, Peppa, a female pig which will narrate the whole series from her perspective. The guys then decided to make Peppa’s personality slightly fiery and because of that they dressing her in a red outfit.   An English animator who has worked in Oscar nominated short films like, ‘Jolly Roger,’ ‘The Hill Farm’ and ‘The Village,’ Mark Baker later joined the crew and helped co-create, write and direct Peppa Pig. When creating the show, the team added more characters to Peppa’s family including, her brother George Pig, Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, Grandpa pig and Granny Pig among others. They also included her friends, Suzy Sheep, Delphine Donkey, Zoe Zebra, Wendy Wolf, Danny Dog and enemies, Candy Cat, Lisa Fox, Freddy Fox and Brianna Bear. The guys decided to give these characters human like attributes and emotions like, sadness, irritation, happiness, confusion and bewilderment.
