The Peppa Pig Movie

The Peppa Pig Movie is a 2024 American-British adventure comedy film based on the long-running animated preschool series Peppa Pig created by Neville Astley and Mark Baker. The film is directed by Reese-Frake Waterfield, produced by Astley and Baker, and written by Waterfield and Mike White from a story by Waterfield. The film replaces the show’s original voice cast in favor for an all-celebrity cast, including Anya Taylor-Joy starring as the titular character, alongside Chris Pine, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Paul Rudd, Chris Evans, Jordan Peele, Kate McKinnon, Tina Fey, TJ Miller, Mindy Kaling, Zoe Saldana, Kristen Wiig, Channing Tatum, Tom Holland, Helen Mirren, Peter Cullen, Julie Andrews, Patrick Stewart, Chris Pratt, Sarah Silverman, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Keaton, Lucy Liu, Fred Armisen, Angela Bassett, Ron Perlman, and Vin Diesel. In the film, a human called Rhys arrives in Peppa Pig’s world, seeking to get her and her friends and all animals in the world extinct. Peppa must now rally the animal world to uncover a secret that is key to stopping Reese’s plans of animal extinction.

Plans for a feature-length adaptation of the franchise began on April 6, 2023, after the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Frake-Waterfield signed on to direct and co-write the film later that month, after previously making Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. The show's original voice cast was expected to return for the film. However, after they recorded all of their lines, Lionsgate decided to replace them with celebrities instead, including Vin Diesel as the film's villain.

The Peppa Pig Movie was released in theaters on May 31, 2024, on the 20th anniversary of the franchise. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, critizicing the generic animation, voice performances, direction, plot, humor and dark tone. Despite this, the film attracted young viewers of the series worldwide and grossed $1.709 billion, surpassing The Lion King (2019) to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, as well as the second-highest-grossing film of 2024 (behind Avatar: The Seed Bearer) and the eight-highest-grossing film of all time.
