Movie Connections:

Spin off from Wallace and Gromit in A Close Shave (1995)

This farm is getting a wake up call.

Let me just say, I wasn't really a fan of claymation. I love Shrek, as you can tell. But, once I heard of this show, I thought differently.

I live in the U.S, so the show didn't premiere for me until July 8th, my brother and sister's birthday. I like little things about animals and this show looked interesting. I watched it and I was very entertained. The stories are good, the characters are funny(especially Shaun). I watch it on Disney Channel every Sunday at 8:55 pm.

I just two problems. My first problem is they should advertise this with video games or toys or something. That would draw a lot of attention to the show. My other problem is it needs to be at least 30 minutes long. I would love to see a FULL T.V show of Shaun The Sheep.

But, despite those two absurd problems I have, the show is great. I recommend it to everyone.
