Yuna loves 'Shaun the sheep'

We talked about the cartoons we like to watch and eventually I asked him "Have you seen Shaun the Sheep?" He said "No!" So I introduced him to Shaun the sheep.
Shaun the Sheep has an inquisitive, mischievous nature which distinguishes him from the other sheep, and leads him into tricky situations from which he usually recovers. He is popular, and is a natural leader. He is also a moral character who will try to "make things right".

Bitzer is the long-suffering sheepdog who watches the flock. He tolerates antics, but steps in if things get out of hand. Bitzer acts as foreman, checking the sheep into and out of the field and lunching with a flask of tea and sandwiches. He listens to drum and bass on a portable media player and does crossword puzzles, which gives the animals opportunity for mischief. The relationship between Bitzer and the animals is essentially friendly.

A premise of the series is that Shaun the sheep exhibits human intelligence, creativity, and behaviour in a barnyard, which usually provides a situational comedy conflict which Shaun must resolve before the end of each episode. Episodes are a combination of slapstick and classic silent comedy in Aardman’s recognisable animation style. There is no spoken dialogue, even by human characters. In this way it is reminiscent of early silent comedy films and even Pingu.
