Warning: Spoilers
Another Aardman classic, two levels of humour (kids and parents), well written. Basically a farm with various animals, Shaun from the title name and a flock of sheep (including Shirley, an obese lump with a woolly coat that hides just about anything). Bitzer the dog (a mongrel, bitzer this, bitzer that) who wears a beany cap while starting the day with a basket of food and a flask of coffee, the rude pigs who try to make Shauns life difficult, and finally the farmer who wears bottle lens glasses, unable to perceive that Shaun and Bitzer actually run the farm.

Will appeal to most as no speech other than the usual bleats, woofs and "huh's" from the bottle lens glasses wearing farmer. Animation is up to the usual Aardman plasticene standards. Add to this a catchy theme tune and most will be pleased by these 5 minute delights.

Spoof on Saturday Night Fever an absolute howl and the episode where the sheep go out for a pizza is classic, recommended viewing for all.
