Peep and the Big Wide World 1988

Peep, a curious chicken, ventures into the Big Wide World, befriending Quack the duck and Chirp the robin along the way. The short presents three brief tales highlighting Peep’s optimism, Quack’s antics and Chirp’s song. Narrated by Peter Ustinov, the 1988 National Film Board of Canada film later inspired the 2004 animated series. Each vignette showcases the characters’ friendship and simple discoveries in a warm, lightly animated style. The film’s modest runtime and charming narration made it a beloved short that paved the way for the later television adaptation.
