Shaun the Sheep: Sheep on the Loose [DVD]

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 Chaos - Never set up camp and go off hiking when sheep are around.* If You Can't Stand the Heat - A warm wooly coat and a farmer enjoying a cool dip in the pool are a recipe for mayhem.The bonus features include "Building a Pig", a 6-minute real-time workshop with children (8 years old or so) on how to make one of the pigs using plasticine (google "home plasticine" to make an easy homemade version or buy a whole set  Plasticine Master Crafter ). The children all enjoyed it and it was easy to follow along, with pretty good results.This was followed by "The Mini Making of Shaun", a step by step mini-documentary of how the features are made, including the storyboard phase, using computers, the making of the models with a moveable skeleton inside to let them move, building of the sets, how they get everything to look so real, and the use of stop motion animation.Don't be put off by the length. At 48 minutes total, it's right up there with other kid DVDs. Moreover, I have newfound respect for this type of labor-intensive clay animation after finding out it took 12 shots, each time moving the figure a tiny bit, to get just 1 second of footage. That's 4,320 pictures to get just one 6 minute feature!My toddler loved the adventures and kept giggling throughout, but didn't really care for the extras (he's too young but an older child would probably like this). I loved the bonus features and learning all the secrets behind bringing the barnyard gang to life. Funny kid-friendly story lines, great extras, excellent quality overall. Can't get better than that!

'E's Shaun the Sheep!'E's Shaun the Sheep!Shaun the Sheep is awesome; my son loved this, and even the grown-ups can enjoy the Pink Panther style of wordless humor.

We are big fans of Wallace & Grommit and had to order the latest of DVDs of those characters, Shaun the Sheep. Our hero has the same facial expressions that Grommit uses to convey what he's thinking. He takes good care of all the herd, His eyes are irresistable and that cute oversized tail! All the farm animals, Farmer,etc are clever and in my opinion original. Adults enjoy Nick Park's creations as much as children.

Shuan the Sheep: Sheep on the Loose is the third DVD of the 40 episode Shaun the Sheep series. This DVD has 6 episodes and 2 special features. My daughter, who is 2 1/2 years old, loves these DVDs and Sheep on the Loose is no exception. The stories are each 5-8 minutes long and they are entertaining for the child and the adult as well. Very clever claymation. Highly recommended.

I love Shaun the Sheep but this is just a compliation of a few episodes that are available for free. It appears there might be some snippets that aren't in the original episodes but not worth $7! I couldn't figure out how to cancel this after we purchased this and realized it was the same stuff. My daughter loves Shaun the Sheep so we have seen the free episodes on Amazon 1000x! Don't pay for this!

Shaun the Sheep is now our go to when our overtired young grandkids need to be calmed down. Nothing like it and it works on their parents too. Lots of laughs. Calming like Mr Rogers was.
