The title card for Peppa Pig.

Status: Partially Found

Peppa Pig is one of the longest-running British animated preschool programs of all time, being shown in a whopping 180 territories in 40 languages, along with having over a billion dollars worth of merchandise sold all around the world. But prior to being rerun on Nick Jr. in the 2010s, Peppa Pig was first shown to the American audience in 2005 with an American dub, in the ill-fated Cartoon Network preschool block, Tickle-U.

As Tickle-U only lasted a year and a half, the American dub was lost along with the block. All post-2007 U.S. releases and airings of the show use the British dub, as the American dub received poor ratings.

Interesting to note is that, on several occasions, Tickle-U aired episodes with the original UK audio.[citation needed]

Voice Cast

Elaine Torres said that she voiced Suzy Sheep in the American broadcast.[1] In addition, Chloe Dolandis has stated on her resume that she was the voice of Emily Elephant and Richard Rabbit, though it is unknown if episodes from the second season ever aired with that dub.

According to Dolandis' resume, the recording studio was Chrom Studios[2], which is a dubbing studio based in Miami, Florida.[3]

Discoveries

Audio clips of Peppa, George, Mummy Pig, and Daddy Pig's American laughter can be heard in the game Swirlygig.[4]

Elaine Torres' Voices.com profile includes a short clip of Suzy Sheep talking to Daddy Pig from "Fancy Dress Party", as part of her animation/commercial reel.[5]

In addition, a Tickle U promo for Peppa Pig using the American dub has been found. The clips featured are from "Daddy Loses His Glasses".

At an unknown date, the US dub of the episode "Secrets" was partially uploaded online and available for a short period, then on August 25th, 2016 reuploaded by YouTube user "MortoQueiba". The recording suffers connection issues and no follow up of a proper rip has been made.

In December 2020, DerpJobi and 01angel found a clip from "Daddy Puts up a Picture" on the voice acting reel for Sydney Patrick. BlueFrog uploaded the clip online to YouTube for availability.

On December 30th, 2020, a camera recording of the US dub for the episode "Mummy Pig's Birthday" (retitled "Mommy Pig's Birthday") was found by SpongeDubs and his friend. A restoration of the recording was done by BlueFrog and Discord user Rno.

On February 19th, 2021, the same channel uploaded an animation showreel of Heath Kelts voicing Grandpa Pig, originally posted to YouTube by Heath on June 13th, 2007. The clips featured are from "Grandpa Pig's Boat", "Frogs and Worms and Butterflies" and "Gardening."

On July 20th, 2022, Lost Media User Mario1984 found a 2-year-old YouTube upload of a Tickle U promo from BrandonDillard1995 which includes a few clips including the episode "Polly Parrot" and YouTube user gazmj4 uploaded clips of the US dub of "Muddy Puddles."

On June 15th, 2023, A partial clip of the episode "Hide & Seek" was found on a VHS tape by Discord user Gribnork.

On September 16th, 2023, 8 full episodes and one incomplete episode of the dub was found by 'Evan's Media Archive.'

On December 6th, 2023, a Tickle U promotional preview disc given to press media was ripped onto Archive.org by Tartellu. The disc contains an early dub of the episode "Mommy Pig at Work", which has several differences in voice acting and no title card translation, currently leaving the final aired version of its dub lost.
