Shaun the Sheep: Sheep on the Loose



Finally, all the secrets behind bringing the barnyard gang to life!
Young and young-at-heart fans of "Shaun the Sheep" are going to love the newest adventures of the little sheep and his friends. With six features, each six minutes long, "Sheep on the Loose" is shorter that the others in the series, but it makes up for it in leaps and bounds with the ten additional minutes (not listed) of great, never before seen bonus features on the making of Shaun.

The adventures include:

* Sheep on the Loose - Shaun tries to keep the farmer from finding out his whole herd has disappeared after hitching a ride to the town fair.
* Saturday Night Shaun - an old record player and disco music are an invitation for party time at the barn.
* Tidy Up - It's cleaning day at the farm. Shaun and the gang have a run in with THE most powerful vacuum cleaner ever.
* Shaun the Farmer - Farmer's sick and his dog is taking care of him and must delegate. Or so he says. See what happens when Shaun takes over the chores at the farm.
* Camping...

Humorous shorts -- a bit short changed on the content, though
I love the Shaun the Sheep shorts and the shorts on this DVD are as good as the previous 2 DVDs. Note, however, that unlike the first two DVDs, this DVD only has 6 episodes and not 8. I hope that this isn't a new trend for these DVDs.

The episodes on this DVD are: Sheep on the Loose, Saturday Night Shaun, Tidy Up, Shaun the Farmer, Camping Chaos, and If You Can't Stand the Heat. There are also a couple of features: The Mini Making of Shaun (a quickie look at how an episode is made) and Building a Pig (sort of a demonstration of how to build a model of one of the pigs using plasticine).

I wish that the series had been released as a complete set in the US (as it was elsewhere).

They're baaa-ack!
Shaun the Sheep is perfect for children of any age. The stories are interesting, and there is always a good message.

I've shown this DVD to kids from three to sixty-three, and all enjoyed it thoroughly.

I highly recommend that you add the entire Shaun the Sheep collection to your private DVD library.

In service,
