Shaun the Sheep Fan Site

If you’re a fan of Aardman Animations (those wacky folks behind Wallace and Gromit), or if you’re a regular Disney Channel viewer, you’re probably familiar with Shaun the Sheep. But if not, you might want to check out a few of the video clips on the Shaun the Sheep fan site, which was brought to my attention by a recent comment here on my blog.

For those who are already initiated into the ways of this cute little guy, there are desktop wallpapers, as well as fan badges for those who’d like to pledge their fandom while providing a link back to the site.

Shaun the Sheep Joins the Mickey Mouse Club

DIS News tells me that Disney Channel will be airing interstitial segments starring Shaun the Sheep, from Aardman Animations:

“Shaun the Sheep” follows the comedic stories of a young sheep who leads his barnyard pals into all sorts of adventures. The character was first introduced in the Oscar-winning “Wallace & Gromit” short “A Close Shave,” from Aardman and Nick Park.

“Aardman Animations represents the platinum standard in stop-motion animation and ‘Shaun the Sheep’ brilliantly captures the unique brand of humor for which they have become world famous,” said Disney Channel Worldwide prexy Gary Marsh.

Cracking! Might this be just enough to get Mr Broke Hoedown to watch the Disney Channel with me?
