Peppa Pig is one of the most popular children's television shows of all time, and no doubt parents everywhere are seeing the effect it has on their children. Most notably, most kids who watch it are now speaking with British accents.
Entertainment One Ltd, the show's owner said in a statement to the NY Post, "Young Peppa fans see her as a friend .. and, as we do with friends that we admire, pick up some of their characteristics." California resident Matias Cavallin wrote on Twitter, "On a recent VACATION, my 5-year-old dared tell me that she was loving her HOLIDAY. I told her we speak American in this house … and Spanish too."
And it seems that Peppa Pig's popularity only grew during the pandemic.
Peppa Pig was the second most in-demand cartoon following Spongebob Squarepants for a 12-month period ending February, according to data from The Wall Street Journal.
