Sam Faiers, Lydia Bright and Imogen Thomas joined kids, families, fans and the voice cast of Peppa Pig to watch a preview screening of Peppa Pig: Festival of Fun at Vue Cinema in London this weekend!
The fans flocked to the special screening, hosted by Entertainment One (eOne) at the cinema's Leicester Square location on Sunday, March 17th to mark the latest in the Peppa Pig brand's year-long 15th anniversary celebrations.
The series' co-creator Neville Astley, producer Phil Davies and voice talent Harley Bird, (Peppa), Morwenna Banks (Mummy Pig) and John Sparkes (Narrator) were joined by celebrities, influencers, press, brand partners and their children at the screening.
It was held ahead of event ahead of the nationwide cinema release in the UK on Friday 5th April 2019 during the Easter holidays.
Children dressed in festival themed outfits enjoyed activities such as face painting, arts and crafts, storytelling, balloon modelling and took part in a special Move with Peppa dance routine from licensee Tumuv before the feature was unveiled to audiences.
For Peppa’s latest big screen adventure, eOne has created a new hour-long theatrical release entitled Peppa Pig Festival of Fun, which gives preschoolers ten brand new and never-before-broadcast episodes featuring a two-part festival special where Peppa and George have their first-ever festival experience, complete with new characters and locations. The episodes are: "Children's Festival", "Muddy Festival", "Strawberries", "Grandpa Pig's Birthday", "Petting Farm", "Pizza! Pizza!", "TV Land", "Roman Day", "Bird Spotting", and "Super Potato Movie".
Each of the ten brand-new episodes will be connected with never-before-seen interactive entertainment featuring little ones singing and playing along with their favourite onscreen characters.
To coincide with the new two-part festival special, eOne has partnered with Edinburgh-based footwear company Hunter Original to help preschoolers celebrate the joy of jumping into muddy puddles this summer. The companies are collaborating on a limited-edition collection of footwear and accessories for children — the Hunter x Peppa Pig collection. The playful new camo print designs feature the show’s much-loved characters, Peppa Pig and her brother, George. Rain boots, backpacks and umbrellas in three different styles will be available for kids ages 2 to 5 in the UK, North America, Canada, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Scandinavia, France, and Italy this July. Within the collection are the new Kids Grab Handle Wellington boots, cleverly designed so that small hands can pull them on all by themselves.
The release of Peppa Pig: Festival of Fun continues eOne’s My First Cinema Experience format which offers young children a gentle introduction to the cinema.
Peppa Pig Festival of Fun is directed by Neville Astley, Mark Baker, Joris van Hulzen and Sarah Roper.
