So child actors age out of the role as their voice changes....
Which makes AI impact them less rather than more - it isn't taking work away they could have been hired for anyway.

Then Peppa Pig should pay royalties in perpetuity

  just want to clarify it's not Peppa Pig himself who will be paying the royalties but the production company for the show.

    That’s not what “The Attorney General v Pig, Peppa” decided.

Then it's not work worth having and maybe it's no longer product worth buying.

  Peppa Pig is already pretty bad anyway, considering the stereotypes it conveys.

    100x. We are pretty flexible but it’s on the ban list. Like 60% of the show is talking about how dumb dad is, and how he always messes up.

      As someone who grew up on Homer Simpson I'm pretty fond of this character trope myself.

        That’s fine as an adult. I don’t need my kids to hear it all day and learn that men are idiots like our culture likes to trope.

      Se sibling comment. It's infuriating it flies.
      Imagine show spending most time on portraying momma pig as a dumb, useless woman, only good for cleaning house and making food.
      Daddy pig is constantly showed as lazy, useless, failed slob.
      To make it clear I don't feel offended or anything, but the kids are primed on the really bad stereotypes or taught making fun of someone fat is okay.
      Awful.
      Bluey any day. Peppa Pig is crap.

        Bluey would never do this.

        I’m sure I’m the millionth person to say this, but Bluey is so incredibly good.

        Exactly. Fantastic show.
