Shaun the Sheep (2007–2020)

Shaun the Sheep is a comedy series suitable for the whole family. In a small farm in the countryside, a dog is watching over the sheep, and must keep track of what they are doing and report it back to the owner. Sometimes they work against each other, sometimes they all have a common interest in keeping some things secret from their owner. Whatever the case, something wacky and unexpected always happens.

Humour in the series is clever, requiring no words to understand and in fact having no dialogue, so it is highly suitable for international audiences. It is not just childish, it can make even serious-minded adults laugh easily. In a way, it reminds me of early silent-era slap-stick films, like Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin. It has the characteristic Aardman style, so if you like Wallace & Gromit films or Chicken Run, you are certainly going to like this show too, and vice versa.
