4.0 out of 5 stars Buy the UK version December 1, 2010

By T Lindsay

Format:DVD

No need to go over the content - you either love Shaun or not. My 6-year-old daughter and I love watching Shaun. These US releases are great, except that for some inexplicable reason they've all been pan-and-scanned to 4:3 screen size - which means they're cutting off a good bit of the scene, where often a lot of side details are happening.

We have region-free DVD players so we got the British version, which is the original widescreen format. The UK version of this is Ł9.99 on amazon.co.uk but Americans don't pay British taxes so it ends up being Ł8.50 plus ~Ł4 in shipping, roughly $20 including shipping. Just make sure your DVD player is region-free before you buy.

If you don't have a region-free DVD player or if you don't care that they're cutting up the picture, buy this version - you'll still enjoy over 4 1/2 hours of Shaun the Sheep - you'll just be losing some details. Complain to Aardman though - why are they doing this to the US versions?

2.0 out of 5 stars Great show, horrible DVD January 24, 2011

By James Updike

Format:DVD

This is a great British series but when it was released in America the decided to crop all of the Widescreen episodes into 4:3 pan & scan. In the UK you can buy it in Widescreen, but here they refuse to release it in its proper format. It is also unavailable in Blu-Ray in either country for some reason. If you haven't seen it it is still worth getting, but it is a real shame that they had to ruin the presentation. Hopefully they will come out with it in Blu-Ray widescreen.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessarily Huge Box and Pan and Scan Video October 19, 2010

By Kyle

Format:DVD

Received this today as a gift. Was first disappointed to see that they used an unnecessarily large double-wide DVD case for this release. It's such a waste of space on the shelf. However, I was devastated to look at the back and discover this was presented in 1.33:1 FULL FRAME. This show is aired in 16:9 widescreen in the UK and released in that format there. I (maybe stupidly) assumed they would release it the same way here in the US. Such a disappointment--this show deserves a better release. Will keep my fingers crossed for a corrected blu-ray release.
