Shaun the Sheep: Spring Shena-a-anigans: Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment
Review by JAM
It is time once again to join everyone’s favorite sheep in his misadventures on the farm as Shaun the Sheep shares his Spring Shena-a-anigans. The DVD is filled with seven new episodes continuing the tradition of humor without words. Take it from JAM that there are truly some laugh-out-loud moments, especially in the first two episodes on the disc. Check out the official synopses and episode guide from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment below.
Spring with excitement and jump with joy, because Shaun the Sheep is back for more wild adventures from the Oscar®-winning creators of Wallace & Gromit™. Fun on the farm with Shaun and his barnyard buddies springs to life, from bouncing sheep and a super-sized Timmy to bagpipe buddies and a short-sighted farmer, there’s no limit to the wild things these animals will do. So hop along with Shaun, Bitzer, Shirley, Timmy and those Naughty Pigs next door in some sheep-herding mayhem that’s sure to give you a lift!
Episodes include:
• “Spring Lamb” - It’s bath time for a reluctant Timmy. In trying to escape, Timmy gets a spring attached to his tail. It’s up to the flock to catch the bouncing baby sheep and return him to the tub before he destroys the farm.
• “Supersize Timmy” - Timmy accidentally eats a tomato grown with “Miracle-Grow” fertilizer and expands to become the King Kong of sheep. Shaun must keep the giant toddler out of sight while trying to figure out how to return him to normal size.
• “Bagpipe Buddy” - The sheep discover a set of bagpipes on the rubbish dump which they immediately misidentify as a sick emu. They set about trying to nurse it back to health before releasing it back into the wild.
• “Cheetah Cheater” - A wildlife film inspires Pidsley the cat to play a prank on the flock by disguising himself as a leopard. Shaun is convinced there is a huge beast on the loose and concocts a plan to catch it.
• “Lock Out” - While preparing for bed, the Farmer manages to lock himself out of the house and is stuck outside in his pajamas. He decides to spend the night in the barn but his incessant snoring drives the flock mad. Shaun heads up an operation to return him to his bed without waking him up.
• “Draw the Line” - The flock hijack a road line-painting machine and cause chaos while creating giant works of art in the field.
• “Ewe’ve Been Framed” - When Shaun accidentally breaks the farmer’s glasses, he and Bitzer have their work cut out trying to prevent their short-sighted master from having mishaps around the farm. Things get a little hair-raising for the flock before Shaun manages to replace the smashed up spectacles.
Bonus Features:
• Sheep-Shearing Game
• Timmy Time Bonus Episode: Timmy’s Plane
• Timmy’s Tune #2 - a cute little ditty with a bunch of small farmyard animals
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.
