Issued to accompany and support the winter 2015 ‘play date’ screenings of The Big Knights – a feature-length compilation of highlights from the 1999 animation series of the same name, from the team that would go on to create Peppa Pig.

The Big Knights Education Package is intended for cinema operators and school groups, and aims to introduce the basics of animation to young people, enabling them to explore the process of bringing ideas from script to screen.
