Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind {Review & Giveaway}

Posted July 23, 2010 by Emilie with and 3,641 views | -

My family is in love with an adorable, smart and super funny sheep. His name is Shaun and he is the central character in Shaun the Sheep. If you haven’t had a chance to see this award winning series, you simply must. With absolutely no talking but rather sounds and music, Shaun the Sheep will have you laughing out loud at the antics of these crazy characters. You may recognize them from the five minutes shorts that air on the Disney Channel.

Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind is the newest in the collection of barnyard adventures and with six episodes featuring close encounters with another kind and the usual hilarious situations found on the farm. Since we have become big fans of the series, my entire family gets excited when we receive a new DVD.

My almost four year old’s very favorite episode is Hiccups where Shirley is up to her usual tricks and drinks lemonade too fast. Shaun and his other barnyard pals try every trick you can think of to try and cure her hiccups, with the usual giggle inducing results. You can’t even guess what eventually cures her and I’m not about to spoil the surprise. I also love The Visitor and the interesting method of fuel for the alien’s spaceship. I won’t claim this to be my very favorite Shaun the Sheep DVD but it is still a great one to add to your collection!

Episodes include:

* “The Visitor” – All is quiet at night on the farm when a bright green glow and strange noises awaken the flock. A space craft crash-landed! Can Shaun and his woolly friends help its giant green occupant get air-borne again?
* “The Bull” – Shaun learns it’s not safe to wave anything red in front of a bull. But the Naughty Pigs thinks it’s funny to add red paint to the sheep’s bath. What to do with an angry charging bull and all those red sheep?
* “Hiccups” – Shirley drinks Bitzer’s lemonade too fast and gets the hiccups. Shaun tries all the usual tricks to cure her with hilarious results.
* “Bitzer Puts His Foot In It” – Even with Bitzer guarding the fresh concrete the farmer just poured, Shaun and his fearless flock of friends can’t resist treating it like their own personal “Walk of Fame”
* “Save the Tree” – The Farmer wants to turn the tree in Shaun’s field into firewood, so the flock must take desperate (and humorous) measures to stop their beloved tree from getting felled!
* “Shaun Encounters” – Two naughty alien kids land at the farm one night and run riot. Can Shaun and Bitzer stop them before they wake the Farmer?
