Astley Baker Davies

From CartoonWiki

Template:Short description Template:Pp Template:More citations needed Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox company Astley Baker Davies is a British animation studio based in London, England, originally owned by founder-directors Neville Astley, Mark Baker, and Phil Davies. It is the production company behind television series The Big Knights, Peppa Pig, and Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom. In 2015, it became a subsidiary of Entertainment One, which took a 70% stake. In 2023, Hasbro kept eOne's stake in the company, making it the majority subsidiary of Hasbro's newly created division Hasbro Entertainment, due to eOne's non-children assets being sold to Lionsgate later in the year.[1]

On 16 March 2021, it was announced that Entertainment One renewed Peppa Pig until 2027, and after 19 years, the original creators and the company were going to leave production. Animation studio Karrot Animation (known for producing Sarah & Duck) will take over production from then on.[2]
