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.

Like what?

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.

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.

Something innately creepy about creating new content in perpetuity with a voice that no longer exists.

What on earth is wrong with us. When Jim Henson died, we grieved and moved on with Steve Whitmire, then Ken Vogel. Neither of them were the Kermit we knew growing up but they were in the spirit and learning of Henson. We need new child actors to take up the mantle and learn from their antecedents, not try and keep the present alive forever. There must be a Greek play about this theme..
