Silly but fun: Shaun the Sheep

[Lydia Leftcoast]

If you like Wallace and Grommet, you'll enjoy Shaun the Sheep, another British stop-animation program. It's sort of like Babe in its farm setting, but the animals have a combination of human intelligence and animal behavior. For example, the sheepdog has a clipboard and checks off a picture of a sheep for each one that goes into the pen.

It's one of these programs that's aimed at children but has enough humor to keep adults interested. In one episode, for example, Shaun comes upon some chicks hatching while their mother is away from the nest, and they immediately imprint on him. In another, the farmer is sick, and the sheep take over running the farm.

Each episode is about ten minutes long.

3. Silly but fun: Shaun the Sheep

Mother and father need to know that this pleasing short-form cartoon sequence from the designer of Wallace and Gromit is appropriate for almost all age groups. The pet figures practice some slightly sexy actions (playing baseball with a clothes, creating a clutter of The Farmer's home when he's away), but it's balanced out by the situational spontaneity, and they always set things right in the end.
