My Thoughts

My children simply love Shaun the Sheep and this adorable featurette was no different. The Farmer and Bitzer are going to the fair and Shaun decides he wants to go along for the ride. He befriends a trio of llamas and wants to bring them back with him to the farm. Things start out fine, but apparently llamas are pretty serious  party animals and Shaun soon loses control of the farm.

Shaun the Sheep' and all his escapades were definitely a big hit in my household. The characters are fun and colorful, and Shaun never lose any of his silent charm. This is a great family show that's perfect to watch on family movie night. The whole DVD runs about an hour between the main feature and bonus episodes which include "Cheetah Cheater" and "Zebra Ducks of the Sergeneti".    Anyone who is a fan of the show will want this DVD in their collection.
