Peppa Pig teams up with Super Simple Songs for a lullaby mash-up. Whatever you do, don't snort at Peppa Pig's music clout. The popular children's character has more than 1bn lifetime music streams across a catalogue of more than 1,300 original songs. There have also been covers of hits including Rihanna's 'Diamonds', Wham's 'Last Christmas' and Katy Perry's 'Roar'. She's collaborated with Sesame Street and Baby Shark, and now another huge children's brand on YouTube: Super Simple Songs. This morning, Hasbro Music has revealed plans to release 'Twinkle Twinkle x Peppa's Lullaby' on 26 December on YouTube, streaming and social platforms. It combines an original Peppa Pig lullaby with Super Simple Songs' take on the famous nursery rhyme. Which, by the way, has been watched more than 2.4bn times on YouTube in its own right. That's why Music Ally Ltd. is reporting (exclusively) on this collaboration today: it's a meeting of giants. Peppa Pig's official YouTube channel has 44.8 million subscribers, while Super Simple Songs has 47 million. "What makes this collaboration so compelling is that Peppa Pig and Super Simple Songs have each built deep trust with families, but in complementary ways," Matt Proulx, SVP, global experiences, partnerships and music at Hasbro told Music Ally. "Peppa is a beloved global entertainment brand, while Super Simple Songs has become one of the most influential destinations for children's music and learning content. Bringing them together creates something that feels natural for audiences while introducing each brand to new families around the world." This is one of the emergent trends in children's entertainment. A decade ago, these two worlds - big established brands and hugely-popular YouTube nursery-rhyme channels - viewed one another warily. Now they're firm partners. "We're seeing audiences engage with brands across a much wider ecosystem of content than ever before. Strategic partnerships allow us to create fresh experiences, expand discoverability and bring together fan communities that already share similar values and interests," said Proulx. Peppa Pig's side-hustle as a recording artist is part of the wider musical push from Hasbro, via its Hasbro Music division. Last year, it released an album of remastered songs from 1980s cartoon Jem and the Holograms, following that up with a brand new EP earlier this year. It also took Cold Slither, a fictional band from the G.I. Joe universe, onto a real-world stage at a Comic-Con event in 2025. You may also remember its report in July on Hasbro taking My Little Pony into its "neigh-pop" era, working with Sony Music's Magic Star on music from a new animated YouTube series. With a 'Halloween Songs & Stories' EP on the way from Peppa Pig this month too, there's a lot going on. "For preschool audiences, music is one of the most accessible ways to engage with a character because it's interactive, emotional and highly repeatable," said Proulx. "What's especially exciting is music's ability to extend the Peppa Pig experience beyond the screen." "It allows us to meet families across streaming platforms, social channels and daily routines while creating new touchpoints that feel authentic to the brand. Music helps deepen engagement, fuels discovery and gives fans new ways to connect with Peppa wherever they are." 1,300 original songs certainly makes Peppa one of the most prolific recording artists of recent times. That's a necessity in the context of modern children's entertainment and the demands of its audience. "Scale is certainly important because families are looking for variety and children often engage with music differently than older audiences. Songs become part of daily routines, and kids love revisiting favourites while also discovering new ones. That creates a healthy demand for a broad catalogue," said Proulx. "That said, we don't view it as a volume game. The most important factor is creating music that families genuinely want to return to again and again." "Every song needs to feel true to the Peppa Pig brand, support the emotional connection families have with the character and deliver a great listening experience," he added. "The advantage of a large catalogue is that it allows us to serve different moments, from energetic singalongs to calming bedtime tracks like this collaboration with Super Simple Songs. Our focus has always been on quality, consistency and making sure each release adds something meaningful to the overall Peppa music experience."

Festival organizers announced the documentary as part of the first wave of Gala and Special Presentations titles. Kim, whose previous work includes acclaimed documentaries centered on compelling personal stories, directs the project, which was first announced by Sony Music Vision in 2025. The film's selection for TIFF gives it a high-profile launch at one of the world's leading film festivals, where it will debut alongside new works from filmmakers including Pedro Almodóvar, Danny Boyle, Jesse Eisenberg, Hirokazu Kore-eda and Chris Rock. The feature-length documentary offers an intimate look at Lalisa Manobal's rise from her early years in Thailand to international superstardom with BLACKPINK while also exploring her evolution as a solo artist and actress. The project follows a transformative chapter in her career as she expands beyond the chart-topping group through music, acting and other creative ventures. According to a synopsis, the movie follows LISA during a pivotal year in her life, when, "for the first time since childhood, she steps away from BLACKPINK for a year of independence. With the clock ticking before her return to the group, LISA confronts the fear and pressure of launching a solo career, pursuing acting, and building a brand, while yearning to maintain a personal life beyond the spotlight." Beyond her music career, LISA is set to star in and executive produce two upcoming Netflix productions: the action movie TYGO and an untitled romantic comedy inspired by Notting Hill. She is also preparing for her sold-out four-night Las Vegas residency, VIVA LA LISA, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, with performances scheduled for Nov. 13-14 and Nov. 27-28. Tickets for Always Lalisa are on sale via the film's website.
