Shaun the Sheep

Shaun is a small sheep featured in the Wallace & Gromit film A Close Shave. He also stars in the spin-off television series of the same name.

Wallace & Gromit
Shaun first debuted in A Close Shave as one of the sheep in Wendolene and Preston's flock. Shaun breaks free of the flock and finds his way into 62 West Wallaby Street. Wallace and Gromit take the little guy in and, after a cleaning in Wallace's Knit-O-Matic contraption, the small sheep in shorn as a result Wallace names him "Shaun".

Shaun later appeared in the Cracking Contraptions series, appearing in the Shopper 13 short as a probe to rescue a wayward wheel of cheese. But instead, he just ate it.

Shaun the Sheep
Shaun is shown as a leading member of a flock of sheep in the television series of the same name. Shaun exhibits human intelligence, creativity, and behavior in the barnyard, more so than in his A Close Shave appearance. Shaun antics often lead to comic mayhem, with the little sheep having to avoid the flock's sheepdog Bitzer and the farmer. Shaun the Sheep is an extraordinary creature who is very good natured to his fellow sheep. He is the one who usually gets the rest of the flock into trouble, but he also gets them out of trouble aswell. This is very different to his childish behavior in A Close Shave, and is obviously no longer a lamb.
