Shaun the Sheep

Shaun the Sheep 

Rating 7 out of 10

My buddy Mark Byrd has always been into the Wallace and Gromit movies.  Although many of his movie choices have been questioned by forth graders these are usually mildly entertaining and the animation is always amazing.

I had a date with my very cute granddaughter, Rylee Rose.  She gets excited to go to "popcorn movies" with grandpa.  So do I.  Which movie we go to does not matter as long as we don't run out of popcorn and skittles (lots of sugar before returning her to mom).

Shaun is as the title says a sheep on a farm outside the city.  He is looking for a day off from the grind on the farm.  He and the other sheep trick the farmer to fall asleep instead of working.  Problems arise when the trailer they store him in rolls into town.  He bumps his head and gets amnesia.  The sheep have to go into town and find the farmer while avoiding the dog catcher that wants to throw them in the pound.  Yes this is a true story and yes this is a documentary.  : >

Funny thing is my beautiful date after ninety seconds proclaimed she didn't like this movie.  A hand full of popcorn and a few more minutes into the movie and her attention was held.  Rylee sat still and watched the whole movie.  Laughed several times.  I was entertained.  I feel sure Mark Byrd will buy the dvd.
