Wibbly Pig is a British children's television series by Wish Films and 9 Story Media Group based on a series of books for babies and very young children written and illustrated by Mick Inkpen.
Plot
- "Wibbly Pig is an animated preschool comedy series that takes the daily routine of a young child and finds humor and fun in every part of it. Wibbly simply does what children do. From day to day activities like getting into bed, wrapping a present or climbing a tree, to fantasy play like meeting a giant or going to the moon. Wibbly moves seamlessly in and out of fantasy play echoing the way children really interact and play. Wibbly turns the simplest tasks into a comedy routine, sharing it with his very best friend - the viewer. Wibbly Pig premieres August 27 during The Good Night Show, only on Sprout!" (link)
History on Sprout
In January 2012, it was announced that it would come to Sprout. It debuted on August 27, 2012 during Sprout's Premiere Party, alongside 64 Zoo Lane, Olive the Ostrich, and the fifth season of The Good Night Show, airing at 8:15PM and 2:15AM ET. The series was pulled from its Good Night timeslot once Astroblast! premiered in 2014.
However, it stopped airing on July 26, 2015, along with other shows, two months shy of Sprout's tenth anniversary rebrand.

- When the show aired in later years, a background with the moon and stars on the sides of the screen was seen.
