Casts : Shaun the Sheep
It might be strange for a person my age to find the Shaun the Sheep series so entertaining and downright funny, but if you enjoy english comedy it becomes easy to understand just why they are so appealing to me. Shaun the Sheep operates on two levels, the first is for children who can easily understand and enjoy the antics of farm animals who constanly befuddle the human farmer. The second is an adult level aimed at those who enjoy the understated english sense of humor and the subtle sight gags that pop up throughout each story.
In We Wish Ewe A Merry Christmas we find the farmer dressed as Santa distributing gifts to his farm animals. The gifts are very simple, just fruit and veggies with makeshift wrappings. Bitzer gets a new chewie. even through the gifts are simple, it shows that the important thing is the thought behind it, not the gift iteself. The animals follow the farmer to his home and peek through the window and see that even though he gave them gifts, he had received none for himself and was sitting alone staring into the fire and thinking of happier times.
As he trudges of to bed, Bitzer and the Sheep decide to do something for the farmer. They round up decorations and a tree and even knit him a colorful sweater. The next morning, the farmer finds all this and his face lights up with supprise and amazement. The bell rings and the farmers family and lady friend have come to share the day with him, so he spends a happy Christmas day.
The story ends with all the farm animals standing outside while Shaun leads them in singing songs of the season. without preaching, the tale shows that it’s more important to reach out and help others and the value of gifts depend on the thought behind them, not the value of the gift itself. This is a very nicely done story with great attention to detail. No one can imagine the work that goes into the presentation of these stories.
