PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Shaun the Sheep™ and his flock are ba-a-a--ck in this new collection of hilarious episodes! From the Academy Award-winning creators of Wallace & Gromit come more wild and wooly adventures from your favorite barnyard animals. With Shaun, Bitzer the sheepdog and the Naughty Pigs next door, there's no telling what bizarre escapades will happen next. Sometimes it's shear madness, but it's always fleecy fun. Join the flock for a wooly good time!

Shaun the Sheep is an international hit on DVD, selling more than half a million units in Europe in only one year! Five-minute shorts of the series also currently air in the U.S. on the Disney Channel and rank in the top 5 animated shorts on the network (Disney Channel, June 2008). However, the complete episodes are only available on DVD. As the U.S. fan base continues to grow, a Shaun the Sheep Nintendo DS video game is now available this fall at retail.

The Shaun the Sheep: Back in the Ba-a-ath DVD features eight hilarious episodes starring Shaun and all his barnyard buddies:

• "Shape Up With Shaun" - Shaun puts Shirley the Sheep, on an exercise regime.
• "Bathtime" - Shaun and the flock go on a mission to try and get hot water for their
  sheep dip.
• "Fetching" - Bitzer, distracted by a fetching female dog, misses the flock's rampage
  through the farmhouse, so it's up to Shaun to intervene.
• "Take Away" - The sheep go on a mission to the local pizzeria disguised as a human
  being.
• "Still Life" - The Farmer takes up oil painting but during a break, the flock investigates.
• "Scrumping" - The flock begs for apples from the Naughty Pigs' yard, but after several
  failed attempts, a war breaks out.
• "Stick With Me" - Bitzer glues the Farmer's broken glasses back together, but when
  the flock gets its hooves on the tube of glue, things get very sticky!
• "The Kite" - A kite blows into the field and gets stuck in a tree, so it's up to Shaun and
  the flock to get it down.
