In Peppa Pig, the toddler characters are seen crying whenever something has gone wrong or bad for them. This is usually seen as a running gag through the series, and George Pig is the most frequent character to cry in the series.
The animation effect toddlers and babies cry in the series makes the tears appear like a garden sprinkler or rain in the sky. This was referenced in the Series 8 episode "Clouds", when Peppa describes George as being like a "rain cloud".
In some instances, characters (So far, only George) may only make a whimper/sob sound.

By non-fans of the series, the crying is normally classified as being very annoying and infrequent, and mildly annoying at best by some fans. The toddlers (George especially) are called crybabies as a result of this, and seem by most to cry for no reason. However, they are only two years old, and crying is one of the only ways a toddler can communicate at that age and is, for the most part, realistic. Unusually, Peppa is four (or five, depending on the source) years old, but big kids can only cry if something really bad happens (such as losing her golden boots) or in one case injury (as shown in the "The Boo Boo Song"). Regardless, Peppa Pig haters think it teaches kids to cry for no reason.
All the toddlers crying in sadness for no reason until it's time for Pass The Parcel. Also, no wonder why Zaza cries with them! Poor Zuzu, poor Zaza, poor Edmond, poor George, and poor Richard :(
