Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience

I've used IMDb for over a decade, and I've never felt the need to register, leave a comment, review or contribute in any form. Until now.

I took my three year old to go and see Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience, and while she mildly enjoyed it, I really, really didn't.

The idea of paying nearly £17 for an adult and child to sit through a few Peppa Pig episodes, interspersed with absolutely awful, lazy live action skits should turn your stomach. The puppets for Peppa and George are lacklustre, and while the presenter tries, her baby voice grates within minutes. There's very little appeal to these live action segments, and beyond asking the audience members to "join in" there's really no form of "interaction" nor games to speak of (despite what promotional material will lead you to believe)

I would honestly wait until these episodes come out on a DVD, as while they're good - sitting through the awful live action segments to get to them just isn't worth it.

As young kids cartoons go I don't mind Peppa Pig and often find it mildly amusing. I was happy enough to take my kids thinking the rating floor would be about a 5/10 and if the new material is good it could be even better. I was immediately disappointed upon seeing the really lame chit chat between a grown up putting on a child's voice and a puppet/doll of Peppa and George. It came across as filler in an attempt to pad out the time and make a series of short cartoons into a cinema experience. This was so boring I fell asleep a couple of times, paying attention only for the cartoons.

In the end I regretted going and put it down as a couple of hours of my life wasted!

I'm actually reviewing this while sitting here in the theater watching this. I have never left a review before but please be warned. There are MULTIPLE boring songs with real kids throughout the show, dancing and singing. The songs are just awful and my kids and I both hate the filler content. It has ruined the entire "movie" or TV show as it really is.

Save yourself a trip and don't see this one. I am not sure who would enjoy watching other people's children dancing around and singing.

Additionally, it took 20 mins for the "movie" to actually start bc again they had these random kids singing and dancing. NO THANKS.

The adults who have left negative comments amuse me. You didn't like Daisy's voice? You didn't like the puppets? It's not aimed at you, turkeys. My 3 year old (boy) loves this DVD. He has watched it a zillion times and I even find myself singing along with the songs. If you see it for sale and your little ones like Peppa pig, buy it this DVD. It's actually pretty good. The negativity from some reviewers is very amusing.

The filler segments are quite cringe with Daisy's baby voice but I understand why they've done it. My daughter loves this film and the short stories and short fillers keep her attention much longer than an hour of just Peppa Pig would have. It's not like some other kids films where the adults are also catered for...this is definitely just for the children.
