Reebok Announces Peppa Pig Collection Inspired by Peppa’s Family & Friends

Reebok Announces Peppa Pig Collection Inspired by Peppa’s Family & Friends

Friday, November 4, 2022

Reebok announces its third Reebok x Peppa Pig kids-only collection based on the popular preschool brand from Hasbro, Inc., a global branded entertainment leader. This comes on the heels of the first two previous Reebok x Peppa Pig collections that debuted in 2021.

This Reebok x Peppa Pig collection was created to honor Peppa and what she loves most – her family and friends. The collection features five of Reebok’s most beloved kids’ silhouettes, each of which spotlights someone, or something, close to her.

Highlights of the footwear include:

Classic Leather ($50, $65) – A faux fur lining and pink details make this Classic Leather instantly recognizable as a shoe designed for Peppa’s best friend, Suzy Sheep. The woven label features a nod to Suzy’s favorite toy owl with an owl graphic peeking out of the window box. Available in infant and preschool sizing.
Club C ($50) – The iconic court classic Club C embodies one of Peppa’s school friends, Candy Cat. The shoe carries all the characteristics of Candy with a “touch and feel” tail on the lateral side, a nose and whiskers on the toe, and a green lining for Candy’s signature outfit. Available in infant sizing.
Zig Dynamica ($60) – This bright pink sneaker with a bubbles-inspired side stripe and cross check pays tribute to Peppa herself. The left shoe features a decal of Teddy, Peppa’s favorite stuffed animal, while a pair of Peppa’s iconic yellow rainboots is highlighted on the right. Available in preschool sizing.
CL Jogger ($45) – Danny Dog comes to life on this version of the CL Jogger through the faux ears and tongue that are added to the upper. The remainder of the sneaker is purple to coordinate with Danny’s shirt and incorporates a soccer ball on the straps to honor his love of the game. Available in infant sizing.
Complete Clean ($45, $50) – Peppa’s family makes an appearance on the final shoe of the collection and features herself, Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and brother George dancing on the upper. Those graphics are complemented by references of Teddy, George’s beloved Dinosaur, Peppa’s yellow rainboots and sunshine. Available in infant and preschool sizing.

The Reebok x Peppa Pig collection will be available beginning November 16th on Reebok.com/peppa_pig.

Since launching in 2004, PEPPA PIG has captured the hearts and minds of preschoolers and caregivers worldwide. Known for her British accent, charming wit and endearing confidence, Peppa’s YouTube views in 2021 alone equated to over 300,000 years spent watching, equivalent to 20 minutes for every person on Earth. Fans can immerse themselves in all things Peppa through full episodes on Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Amazon Prime, narrative content via AVOD platforms, a library of audio stories, music releases, app play, cross-category consumer products, Live shows and now, a visit to the new Peppa Pig Theme Park, in Florida. Audiences have been eagerly watching as she embarks on new adventures, facing the joys and obstacles of contemporary life with humor and gumption, instilling confidence and demystifying first experiences for kids along the way.

Paramount May Raise Paramount+ Subscription Prices

Paramount chief financial officer Naveen Chopra said on an earnings call on Wednesday (Nov. 2) that the company sees “opportunities to increase price on Paramount+” and that we’ll see it “do that in the future,” The Verge reports.

Chopra noted that Paramount+ has some flexibility in how it increases prices, thanks to it having a couple of subscription tiers, notes Digital Trends. The “Essential” plan costs $5 a month or $50 a year and has advertising on its on-demand content, but lacks a feed to your local CBS affiliate, and doesn’t come with 4K resolution or the ability to download offline content. There’s also a $10-a-month ($100-a-year) “Premium” plan that eschews most ads in on-demand content and does include CBS.

“Of course, we’ll be smart about how and when we raise price,” Chopra continued, “Because we’ll be looking to do it in ways that minimize any sort of negative churn impact. And that means that we’ll definitely take advantage of our dual-tier offering, which allows us to adjust pricing on each tier independently, and means that the Essential tier can continue to serve price-sensitive users while still generating compelling levels of [average revenue per user] through ad monetization.”

The price increase also will be done with content in mind, Chopra said. And Paramount+ has a lot of popular shows to work with. The second season of Mayor of Kingstown kicks off on January 15. Yellowstone spinoff 1923 lands on December 18. Star Trek: Picard begins its final season on February 16, 2023, and new seasons of Star Trek: Discovery and Strange New Worlds are on the way.

If the service does end up raising its price in the US, it won’t be alone. Apple TV Plus just increased its price from $4.99 to $6.99 per month, while Hulu went up from $6.99 to $7.99 per month for its ad-supported plan and jumped from $12.99 to $14.99 per month for its ad-free plan.

Netflix raised prices earlier this year ahead of the launch of its new $6.99 per month ad-supported plan, while Disney+ and ESPN+ had recent price hikes as well.

“I think it’s fair to say that pricing is moving higher across the industry — you see that with a number of competing services,” Chopra explains. “We think that means we have room to increase price.” Chopra also hinted at increasing prices by tier while allowing the ad-supported plan to “continue to serve price-sensitive users.” Paramount recently raised the price of its commercial-free plan from $5.99 CAD to $9.99 CAD per month in Canada.

Outside of a potential price increase, Paramount’s earnings report revealed its Plus streaming service added 4.6 million subscribers this quarter, bringing its total global subscribers to 46 million.

Meanwhile, Paramount’s free streaming platform Pluto TV saw some growth, too. The streaming service grew to 72 million monthly active users globally and saw a “double-digit” increase in viewing hours. Paramount says Pluto TV also became the first free, ad-supported service to “represent a significant enough portion of TV viewing” to be featured in Nielsen’s monthly TV viewing Gauge report.

Paramount Plus says it lost 1.9 million global subscribers as part of the launch of SkyShowtime in the Nordics that replaced the streaming service in the region, but the launch of the service in France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland on December 8th should offset this next quarter.

Paramount Plus links the overall increase in subscribers to its growing library of content, which includes popular series like Halo and Yellowstone. It also credits some of the NFL games it airs through CBS, as well as the UEFA soccer games it offers on the platform.

Going forward, Paramount expects the addition of Top Gun: Maverick to its streaming service later this year to be a “driver of subscribers” as well. The company also launched a partnership with Walmart in September that gives Walmart+ subscribers free access to the ad-supported Paramount Plus plan. Paramount CEO Bob Bakish says the partnership is “off to an excellent start” so far.

Chopra didn’t offer any specifics on when the price increases might take effect, but it could be fairly soon, notes The Streamable. Paramount clearly sees the ground as already having been prepared for a price hike thanks to Apple and Disney, so your streaming bill might see another increase in the not-so-distant future.
