Peppa Pig and the Adorable Accent

Posted by Gwynne Watkins

Oh, British children's cartoons, what is it about you? Granted, I have slight Anglophile tendencies, but if an animated cat starts talking about prams and teatime, I'm totally mesmerized.  When I was in London earlier this year, I made my husband sit through an entire episode of Postman Pat, during which absolutely nothing happened except that cute clay characters puttered around being British. So I'm pleased to present the latest UK cartoon import: Peppa Pig, which comes to DVD today. Normally, this much grunting and burping in a children's cartoon might get to me, but in this case, the accents make it worthwhile.  At least, for the duration of this clip.  Anybody out there actually seen the show?

We used to watch it a while ago when one of the kid channels had TickleU! It came on with Gordon the Garden Gnome, Gerald McBoing Boing, Harry and his Bucketful of Dinosaurs and Yoko, Jacomoko, Toto!! Loved all of them.

Oh, I have missed Peppa Pig!  We used to watch it on TickleU, too.  And Yoko, Jakamoto, Toto!  Though, when we watched it the pig family all had American accents.  I love the British accents.  Blah blah valuable lessons...it's just a really cute show.

Yep, we're British and I confess that my (almost) two year old is obsessed with all things Peppa. But at least it's fun for us to watch too. We love George best of all.
