Production notes

Pre-school animation featuring Wibbly Pig and his favorite toys, Pigley, Flop and Dimple.

Wibbly Pig is a comedy series that takes the daily routine of a young child and finds humor and fun in every part of it. Wibbly simply does what children do. From day-to-day activities like getting into bed, wrapping a present or climbing a tree, to fantasy play like meeting a giant or going to the moon, Wibbly moves seamlessly in and out of fantasy play echoing the way children really interact and play. Wibbly turns the simplest tasks into a comedy routine, sharing it with his very best friend- the viewer.

Based on the hugely successful Wibbly Pig children's books by Mick Inkpen, which have sold over 2.2 million copies worldwide, the series manages to capture the magic and gorgeous look of the books. Wibbly engages the viewer by talking directly to the camera. This makes the viewer feel safe, included, involved and most of all, important.
