Peppa Pig enlivens celebrations in the US
LOS ANGELES-"Oink! Oink!" is how an animated character of the porcine persuasion introduced Chinese New Year of the Pig to US moviegoers this week.
Ringing in the traditional Lunar New Year was Peppa the Pig, a popular British cartoon character that has taken China by storm and breached US shores as well.
The character's first feature film, Peppa the Pig Celebrates Chinese New Year, coproduced by Canada's Entertainment One and China's Alibaba Pictures, opened in theaters around the globe on Feb 5, the first day of the Chinese New Year, to well-filled theaters.
