Shaun the Sheep

TV show · 2007

This report covers the full series (2007–2025). Shaun the Sheep is a warm, wordless stop-motion gem from the Aardman studio where a clever sheep and his flock get into gentle mischief on a British farm, always setting things right by the end. The humor is almost entirely slapstick, there is no dialogue, and the vast majority of episodes are breezy and sweet.

Most comfortable from around age 4, though very sensitive toddlers may want a preview of the occasional spooky-themed episodes first.
