Lately I’ve been watching Shaun The Sheep with the kids. A super cute claymation (clay animation) by Aardman Animation – the same guys who do Wallace and Gromit.

My goodness. It is SO funny, charming and delightful. At the end of each episode, I’m giggling like a little girl, and in awe of its brilliance. I’m TOTALLY in love with the little guy!

I just love animations with no speech – where the story, the humour, the multiple character quirks, the everything, is communicated with action, expression, music and sound effects. It’s just brilliant!

Plus it has an awesome website, where you can download screenshots, make and do stuff, activities packs etc. I haven’t worked out whether they do plush toys though.
