This Dark ‘Peppa Pig’ Theory Is Too Much Even for Adults
This Peppa Pig theory is one we can't unsee. It will change your entire view on this beloved series. Let's break it down together.
Peppa Pig has been around since 2004, helping to raise children worldwide. The series takes place in a universe where animals live in harmony, drive cars, and lead lives similar to those of humans. Overall, Peppa Pig seems like a nice, harmless children's show. But is it really?
The theory: Peppa Pig takes place in George Orwell's “Animal Farm”. Many theories about this exist, but the following 2 variations are among the most realistic (and terrifying) ones. But first, let us remind you what the book is about.
What is “Animal Farm” about? It's a short story about animals who rebel against their owner in hopes of creating a society where all animals are equal. However, the pigs gradually take control and become the very tyrants they once fought against. We bet you can already see the connection, but it goes deeper.
1. ‘Peppa Pig’ Takes Place in an Alternative Universe of Orwell's Classic

Fan theory: Peppa Pig takes place in alternative reality.
“In Peppa’s world, her dad is Snowball, and he’s in charge rather than the glutton Napoleon. In Peppa’s world, the community actually stays true to the Commandment of Animalism that “All animals are equal.”,” Redditor Dannywalto wrote.
Why it makes sense: in both universes, pigs are shown to be in positions of power. While “Animal Farm” portrays this negatively, Peppa's world shows a more utopian version where this power hasn't corrupted them.
2. 'Peppa Pig' is Actually a Sequel to "Animal Farm"

Another theory: what if Peppa Pig isn't set in another “Animal Farm” universe, but is actually what happens after the book ends? Stay with us here.
The whole show is told from the pigs' perspective (the same ones who were the bad guys in the book). Could it be that Peppa's just living in a bubble of propaganda created by her parents? Maybe she has no clue about what's really going down in their society. And as we all know, kids tend to idolize things.
