- Peppa accidentally breaks Mr Wallaby’s window with a boomerang. Mr Wallaby is very friendly about the situation and Peppa apologises and offers to help him fix the window.
- The Queen jumps the bus over London Tower Bridge. The bus gets stuck at the top of the bridge for a moment, but then the bus makes it safely to the other side.

Ideas to discuss with your children
Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience is a fun and educational comedy for young children.
The short episodes and interactive content make this movie an excellent first cinema experience. If very young children see the movie on a large screen, they might be scared by the brief scenes with the crocodile and the giant wave. Peppa Pig is suitable for children aged five years and over, although it might be boring for children over eight years.
The main messages from this movie are about the importance of being careful and responsible – for example, when riding a bike, playing with boomerangs or exploring new environments. The movie also shows how exciting things can be when you use your imagination.
Values in this movie that you could reinforce with your children include kindness, and the importance of spending time with family and friends.
