SHAUN THE SHEEP {1st. Season} (DVD Review) - 18/11/08

The five DVD cases pictured are the "Shaun The Sheep" individual releases:

Of course knowing there would be a Boxset for these I have waited over a year to finally now get hold of one released in time for Christmas and what a piss-take it is! It was bad enough seeing the individual DVD releases with about 40 minutes per disc and maybe a slight Special Feature retailing for around £12 to £15. Buying the Boxset turns out to be cheaper but all it is is the same DVD releases stuck in a fold-out case with no extra Special Features. I was at least expecting some in depth insightful making of type featurettes - But bugger all! A total money-making exercise across the last year or so. So enough moaning - Even without some decent back-up this is still a classic series. The detail so fondly seen in Wallace & Gromit is all lovingly detailed here and it shows. The 40 episodes in this set comprise the complete first season on 5 discs as Shaun and his pals go wild in a variety of adventures and general scrapes. I defy anyone to not laugh at some of this fun? Plus we have the return of Wallace & Gromit in "A Matter Of Loave & Death" this Christmas with it's first showing on TV - So a Christmas goody bag for everyone!
