3.0 out of 5 stars Why did they change Bitzer and the Farmer????, September 11, 2010

Oh, No!!! They changed the look of the Farmer and Bitzer!!! This was very distractive and disappointing, if you've seen all the first episodes...
They also have tons of background sound effects and noises (like blowing raspberries) that overwhelm the previous quietness of the previous episodes. Sometimes there's value in quietness; it puntuates something to come. Way overfilled with "fluff" noises....

While I understand the need to change the mouths of both the Farmer and Bitzer for quicker transitions for shots, it's just not as high quality as the first episodes. Plus, they completely changed Bitzer's look: extended lighter belly fur up to his new mouthline, and added a fox-like tail....argh!!! It's not the Bitzer we've all come to know and love.

Why did Nick Park, et al., change a fantastic formula that worked so brilliantly well?

Please, people, and fans of Nick Park, email the brilliant man and tell him while we understand the business decision behind it, to go back to the original characters!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Like New Animation, October 8, 2010

By 

Ana Leigh (Plano TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shaun the Sheep: Party Animals (DVD)

I do not like the new animation. It has caused the series to lose much of its charm. It now looks slick, harsh, computer-generated. The characters are not the same. I was very disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Episodes great, character changes not so much., December 17, 2010

This review is from: Shaun the Sheep: Party Animals (DVD)

The stories are truly funny and sharp. But now the farmer looks a lot like Homer Simpson (beard shadow) and the cat looks like an orange bear with fangs. Despite the changes, I really enjoyed Party Animals. Definitely worth seeing.
