Astley Baker Davies is a British animation studio based in London, founded and originally owned by the directors Neville Astley, Mark Baker and Phil Davies. It is the production company behind the television series The Big Knights, Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. In 2015 it became a subsidiary of Entertainment One, which took a 70 percent stake, and in 2023 Hasbro retained that stake, making the studio a majority subsidiary of its new division Hasbro Entertainment after Entertainment One's non-children assets were sold to Lionsgate. In March 2021 it was announced that Peppa Pig had been renewed until 2027 and that the original creators and the studio would leave production, with Karrot Animation taking over.
