A Close Shave - Spin-Off

Spin-Off

Shaun, the youngest of the flock of sheep in this feature, proved to be a very popular character and was given his own highly successful TV series on the BBC entitled, Shaun the Sheep which has also been broadcast worldwide. The first two seasons (80 episodes, each approx 7 minutes long) are available on DVD. Though it is never explicitly stated as part of the canon, it can be surmised that Wallace sold off the entire flock to "The Farmer" who owns the farm where Shaun and his friends now reside. Each episode contains slapstick and situational humor with Shaun as the leader of the flock dealing with everyday farm issues while exhibiting a high level of intelligence and human-like behavior to a level much like Gromit.

Shaun the Sheep itself has spun off another very successful series aimed for toddlers entitled Timmy Time, Timmy being a baby sheep in Shaun's flock with misadventures of his own.
