Peppa Hides Out

Peppa Hides Out is the first Peppa Pig theatrical short of the Peppatoons (then called Peppa Pig Presents) series. Released on April 1, 1930, the cartoon features Peppa and George, and was one of the first dialogue-driven cartoons.

Peppa must find her missing eyelash.

Plot
Peppa wakes up and realizes she has a missing eyelash. She looks everywhere for said eyelash and eventually goes outside. Peppa starts running with her hands over her face, then her friend Suzy appears and asks why Peppa has her hands over her face. Peppa refuses to answer and runs into a dark alleyway where she is chased by two dogs. She finds a piece of steak and throws it, and the dogs run at the steak. She goes inside a room with many people inside it and runs back into the city, where she hides in a trash can and walks back into her house.

A dirty Peppa gives up, but starts looking everywhere in her house for the eyelash again. She sees the eyelash (which apparently has a mind of its own) and quickly chases it. The eyelash taunts Peppa, but that makes Peppa even more angry. In a mess of a house, Peppa catches the eyelash and puts it in a box, but the eyelash cartoonishly escapes and continues to taunt Peppa. The eyelash runs out of the house and escapes it, so Peppa recruits her little brother George through telephone.

The eyelash is casually walking when George quickly grabs the eyelash and locks it. It calls out at George and they both make a deal. George brings the eyelash to Peppa's house and Peppa tells it to do dog tricks, where he is given a treat and is allowed to go on Peppa's eye. Peppa and George fall on the floor and belly laugh.

The cartoon ends with Peppa waving at the audience and saying "Au revoir les gens!"
