Silly but fun: Shaun the Sheep [View all]

If you like Wallace and Grommet, you'll enjoy Shaun the Sheep, another British stop-animation program. It's sort of like Babe in its farm setting, but the animals have a combination of human intelligence and animal behavior. For example, the sheepdog has a clipboard and checks off a picture of a sheep for each one that goes into the pen.

It's one of these programs that's aimed at children but has enough humor to keep adults interested. In one episode, for example, Shaun comes upon some chicks hatching while their mother is away from the nest, and they immediately imprint on him. In another, the farmer is sick, and the sheep take over running the farm.

Each episode is about ten minutes long.
