Another skimpy Shaun collection. The episodes on this DVD are:

- Little Sheep of Horrors

- Abracadabra

- Things That Go Bump

- Heavy Metal Shaun

- Troublesome Tractor

- Sheepwalking

The episodes are all well-worth watching (the star-rating is for the small amount of episodes, not the quality of the episodes).

DVD also has a couple of games as "bonus features". I'd rather have the look-behind-the-scenes features that the previous DVDs had.

It looks like the "6 episodes per DVD" is how things will be working out from now on (since there are only 12 episodes left that have not been put on DVD here in the US).

There's something for everyone in this cute show about a bunch of sheep, their watchdog and their owner. No words, just a lot of hijinks and sound effects. Every episode is well done, funny and less than five minutes long. The series is named after Shaun the sheep from Wallace & Gromit's "A Close Shave," which is found on Wallace and Gromit: Three Amazing Adventures.

There's a baby sheep on the show named "Timmy" and he's always got a binky in his mouth. He also goes missing in a few episodes and a frantic, comedic search by the other sheep always ensues. The "Little Sheep of Horrors" episode is top notch example.

You won't be disappointed with this show.

I bought this video for my 3 year old to watch during Halloween. He loves it. He calls it the "Scary Shaun the Sheep Movie" I really like the inventiveness of Shaun the Sheep. We are big fans!

6 shorts in the style of "Wallace and Gromit." They've all got spooky, magical plotlines -- hence the title. There are no words in any of the episodes: everything is just sound effects and grunts.

The humor is broad: kids might love it, but an adult is unlikely to watch this twice.

Yet another addition to the delightful Shaun the Sheep series from Aardman. Great for kids, adults and claymation fans.

This set of episodes is quite funny. I really enjoyed them and am glad they are finally available in the U.S. Everyone from our 4-year-old twins up to my 60+ year-old parents just love Shaun the Sheep. We bought all four DVD's of Shaun the Sheep and got a Wallace and Gromit DVD with the 3 classic episodes on it for free! That was an unexpected surprise. Since they were 4 separate products and since I don't remember seeing anything about a free Wallace and Gromit DVD, I'm not sure why we got it or if others would get it as well. We look forward to more episodes in the future.

"Shaun the Sheep: Little Sheep of Horrors" is the fourth DVD release of episodes of "Shaun the Sheep". It has 6 episodes, where Shaun and the other sheep get into adventures. I did not enjoy this fourth DVD as much as the first and second, because the comedy has become a bit broad. As TV shows age, they tend to become too over the top, like Fonzie jumping the shark in "Happy Days". Cartoons need to follow some set of rules to be entertaining, like cartoonist Chuck Jones imposing the rule that the Road Runner could only run on roads. In this fourth DVD, I felt that Shaun and his fellow sheep could now do anything for the sake of comedy, and weren't following any rules. The DVD includes two simple games, suitable for young children, but I also found them pretty amusing. Reviewed 9/7/2009 after watching on DVD.

We are Shaun the Sheep fans here, from our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter on up to our 83 year old Grampy! This is one of our favorites though; our 3 1/2 year old falls off his chair laughing at it. The kids don't even pick up half the humor, but adults will! I like to watch it even there are no kids around! Not too scarey for the above ages.

A Wallace and Gromit spin-off claymation show that follows Shaun, a sheep. Greatly amusing and at times hilarious storylines appropriate for all age groups!

Shaun the Sheep is perfect for children of any age. The stories are interesting, and there is always a good message.

I've shown this DVD to kids from three to sixty-three, and all enjoyed it thoroughly.

I highly recommend that you add the entire Shaun the Sheep collection to your private DVD library.

In service,
