Production

[edit]

During production in 2001, the show was titled The Three Pigs.[8][9][10] Originally, CinéGroupe's then-owner Lions Gate was attached to the show's production.[8]

SMEC Media & Entertainment in Taiwan (uncredited) and SMEC Animation & Graphic Technology in China were the overseas animation studios for the series.

CinéGroupe's distribution arm distributed the series in Canada, the U.S., Asia, Australia and New Zealand, with Fox Kids Europe N.V. distributing in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa with servicing through Buena Vista International Television,[11] co-producer AnimaKids distributing in France and Merchandising Munchen distributing in Germany.[12]

Release

[edit]

Home video

[edit]

In November 2002, a VHS and DVD volume was released in Canada by CinéGroupe Star titled "Pig City/Porcité - Volume 1". It contained the Series 1 episodes "Wag the Hog", "Hogtied" and "Porkstars". The VHS versions were released in both separate English and French versions, while the DVD counterpart featured both languages.[13][14]

Although a promo as seen on the release showcases Volume 2 and Volume 3 sets for release in Late-2002, they were never released.

Streaming

[edit]

In March 2022, the Canada Media Fund's YouTube channel Encore+ uploaded episodes of the series in both English[15] and French.[16] The series became unavailable in November 2022 due to the closure of Encore+.
