Review by JAM
Shaun the Sheep joins us again as Party Animals hits the shelves. Continuing a solid trend of each new release outselling the previous, Party Animals brings more antics, mayhem, and fun to our television screens. This is the first DVD released from the second series of Shaun the Sheep and contains a fun costume party, a devious cat, and a disappearing toupee. Check out the official synopses and episode guide from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment below.
There’s no disguising the fun with Shaun the Sheep™ and his barnyard buddies in this party-fest of wild antics from the Oscar®-winning creators of “Wallace and Gromit™”. The farm is once again party central as Shaun, Bitzer, Timmy and those Naughty Pigs cause all sorts of mayhem, from flying cue balls and pillow fights to nights of disguise and intrigue. Grab your invitation to laughter for some sheep-herding mayhem that’s sure to rock the flock!
Episodes include:
• “Party Animals” - The farmer throws a costume party for his birthday. When Bitzer loses all the invitations, Shaun saves the day again. Disguised in their own ingenious costumes, the sheep stand in as the guests. But can they fool the Farmer into believing he is surrounded by his friends?
• “Double Trouble” - A bored Shaun dresses up as the Farmer to entertain the flock. Realizing he now has the power to boss Bitzer around; Shaun takes the opportunity to throw a party for the flock. All goes according to plan until Bitzer puts two and two together. Then Shaun encounters the real Farmer...
• “Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow” - The Farmer is preparing for a date! He wants to look his best so it’s time to dust off his prized hairpiece. Shaun can’t resist trying the wig on but loses it while showing off to the flock. The race is on as Shaun and Bitzer try to return the wig in time for the Farmer’s big night.
• “Pig Swill Fly” - The farm is looking spotless and everyone is on their best behavior when the dreaded farm inspector pays a visit. While the Inspector checks out the inside of the farmhouse, war breaks out in the field between the sheep and the pigs. Can Bitzer prevent the Inspector from noticing as the chaos escalates outside?
• “Operation Pidsley” - While the Farmer is away, the sheep sneak into the farmhouse for a party. But when Pidsley snaps a photograph of the fun and games, Shaun and Bitzer need to catch the malicious cat before he can show the incriminating evidence to the Farmer.
• “Shaun Goes Potty” - The farm receives a delivery of a brand new pool table. Before the Farmer can take it indoors, Bitzer and the flock have a game with disastrous consequences. They must repair the damage before the Farmer finds out!
• “Strictly No Dancing” – The press release lists another episode here, but this is the one that actually is listed and shown on the DVD. It involves the Farmer finding an old phonograph and using Pidsley as a dance partner, much to the dismay of the sheep who cannot sleep. Shaun arrives at an ingenious solution (after multiple previous tries) and finally gets to sleep.
Bonus Features include “Timmy’s Tune” and insight into “Building A Pig”.
JAMS Ink on Shaun the Sheep: Party Animals
This is another fun entry in the Shaun the Sheep DVD releases that the kids loved. Pidsley the cat is another nemesis for Shaun to deal with in a couple of episodes that adds to the farmyard shenanigans.
Bonus Features:
Timmy’s Tune – a cute little ditty with a bunch of small farmyard animals
Building a Pig – a modeling short on building a pig from modeling clay
Shawn the Sheep, from the creators of Wallace and Gromit, provides amazing entertainment during short skits, without the use of true voice work, and yet the kids are captivated and entranced by the magic Shawn provides. Pick up a copy and you will agree that it is Not Baaaaaa-d.
