I’m being currently subjected to a Peppa Pig marathon as I watch my nephew. They are visiting the zoo.
Some kinds of animals are clearly “people” - like Peppa and the zookeepers. But other animals are non speaking - animals. They showed non talking penguins eating fish - are fish not “people” either?
The zookeeper is a lion who confuses the teacher - some sort of gazelle - with a wildebeest as a running joke, which seems to suggest that he thinks of her as food.
Some of the jokes in this show seem targeted to adults, which makes no sense, as absolutely nothing in this show is watchable to anyone above the age of 4.
Jokes for adults that are in kids’ shows are an old trend. The logic behind it is that it’s there so the parents have something to laugh at too, since they’re forced to put up with it asking with their kids (usually).
Seriously, go back and watch the shows you used to like as a kid and you’ll see it. Animaniacs is a good example.
Speak for yourself, I enjoy watching Pepa and little kingdom more than my son ever did.
Mine loved Ben and Hollys Little Kingdom and Hey Duggee. Both of which us parents would have happily watched without them.
Animaniacs is actually good tho
