“Peppa Pig,” the hit cartoon show aimed at preschoolers, has introduced its first same-sex parent family in its 18-year history. The landmark moment arrived during an episode entitled “Families,” which aired on Channel 5 in the UK on Tuesday. In the short scene, Peppa’s classmate Penny Polar Bear talks about her two mommies and what makes each special. While drawing a picture of her family – two polar bears in dresses – Penny says: “I’m Penny Polar Bear. I live with my mommy and my other mommy.
” Broadcast in 180 countries and translated into 40 languages, “Peppa Pig” has become a global phenomenon since it burst, oinking, onto screens in 2004. The franchise has toys, clothing lines and even its own tourist attraction: Peppa Pig World. CNN has contacted Entertainment One, the Canadian production company behind the show, for further comment.
