Wallace & Gromit were Nick Park's wonderful invention, and Shaun the Sheep carried his ideas to new heights of wholesome, adorable entertainment. My favourite is Series 5 from 2016, when all the traditional features and characters of the English countryside were still there, before political correctness stepped in. The tiny details in the furnishings and tools of the farmhouse, fields and barn are just astonishing, and I sometimes stop the video to marvel at the details. If you ever need cheering up, young or old, Aardman will do it, whether it's Shaun and the Farmer, "Wallace & Gromit", "Chicken Run" or "Early Man". If not for Nick Park's extraordinary vision, Shaun the Sheep wouldn't exist, so let's give credit where it is due.
