Video Description

From KIDS FIRST!: Our friend Shaun has his hands full this time as he tries to protect his sheep from green aliens and raging bulls, especially when the mischievous pigs manage to get the sheep all colored red. Rich in color and sooth animation, it’s clear to see how the Wallace & Gromit creators have made this similar-style children’s show such a success. Short segments make up this DVD so children can enjoy episodes for short chunks of time or for a full almost-hour of laughs. Each short episode has a full storyline with conflict and resolution. Shaun is smarter than the average guard dog, and manages to keep the sheep in line while keeping young viewers (and old) laughing all the while. Some viewers might not appreciate viewing the farmer’s bare bottom shown during the “Hiccups” episode. The DVD also has an environmental message when the alien gets stuck on Earth with no fuel. The only fuel that works is sheep dung. KIDS FIRST! Child Juror Comments: This is a good movie because it’s not like a school movie. You can watch it just for fun. The characters helped each other when they needed it like when the really large sheep was stuck in cement, they helped get him out. It’s great for kids because this is a lot like Wallace and Gromit (which they love). The dog is really smart and everything looks like Wallace and Gromit, except the sheep. Some of the humor was a bit inappropriate, but it’s only in some parts. It has bathroom kind of humor. Ages 5-8.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a Laughing Leap, June 14, 2010

This review is from: Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind (DVD)

My son and I are big fans of Shaun the Sheep series (and Wallace and Gromit). The tiny space aliens made both of us laugh, and I'm continually amazed at the creativity of the entire series. The Hiccups story was funny--this time it's the sheep and not my son or the labrador who has hiccups. Some of the stories are better than others, but there is always something to make me smile, and that's a lot these days, eh? My son is non verbal, autistic and Down syndrome, so this series is easily understood by him, and it makes him laugh.

This review is from: Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind (DVD)

My two sons, ages 2 and 5 1/2 years old LOVE Shaun the Sheep. We discovered Shaun and his friends purely by accident when a friend gave us one of the DVD's as a gift. After that, there was no going back and we own all the Shuan the Sheep DVD's currently available. Both boys love the clever stories and animation. One Giant Leap for Lambkind is no exception and they love the new story lines. My 5 1/2 yo practically hugged the UPS delivery man when he arrived. I like that the content is very kid friendly and appeals to "kids" of all ages, even me and my husband. We highly recommend this new DVD as well as the other Shaun the Sheep movies. My only complaint is that this is the shortest of all the DVD's available at only 35 minutes. It probably could have used one more episode on it but otherwise it is perfect! We look forward to the next one.
