clever, November 11, 2007
This review is from: Shaun the Sheep - The Box Set [REGION 2 IMPORT-NON USA FORMAT] (DVD)
I saw episodes of Shaun the Sheep on television while I was in England last summer. The humor was clever and appealed to adults as well as children. I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to share it with my American family members.

Witty, fun, and kids love it too!, November 7, 2007
This review is from: Shaun the Sheep - The Box Set [REGION 2 IMPORT-NON USA FORMAT] (DVD)
Shaun the Sheep is a character based on "A Close Shave", a Wallace and Grommit short film that came out during the 90's. In this TV show, Shaun lives with a flock of sheep on a farm in contemporary Britain. Each show is seven minutes long and revolves around a fun cast of mostly-animal characters going through little capers.
I'm a little biased, admittedly, being an Aardman animation fan. That said, I find Shaun the Sheep to be exceptionally clever, well-produced, and highly rewarding to watch. I watch most of what my 2-year old son watches, one of my motivations being that he won't be watching anything too brain-dead, and Shaun is the show I enjoy watching the most. The Shaun stories are consistently of high quality and mindful of both their young and old audiences. There's plenty of visual and auditory allusion for the old folks, but lots of plain old fun for the kids.
I've shown Shaun to a number of my son's friends and they all think it's a hoot. I think this is the best thing you can add to your family video library collection.
The only reason I can't give this a perfect rating is because I'm reviewing a prerelease DVD, something I haven't seen. If the video quality matches other Aardman videos (like Creature Comforts), I'm sure it will get that 5-star rating.

Can't get enough of Shaun. Instant mood improver, regardless of how lousy of a day I've had. Can't help but laugh when watching. Clever, witty, hilarious!
