Line #3 YMMV/ShaunTheSheep


1	* {{Adorkable}}: Lu-la is a brightly-colored puppy-alien whose cute design and quirky personality has made her popular between the fans. She's also a kid, so that adds points.
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnL6EmqPaK0 The hip-hop version of the theme]] performed by Rizzle Kicks for TheMovie is pretty great.
3	* EnsembleDarkHorse: Timmy (who, just like Shaun himself, earned a [[WesternAnimation/TimmyTime spinoff]] for it), and sometimes Shirley (she's so fat it's hard to miss her!)
4	* FriendlyFandoms: With ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' in Japan, which is [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff also popular there.]] Both show aired on Creator/{{NHK}} [[SaturdayMorningKidsShow in the Saturday mornings,]] albeit with subsequent timeslots, and it makes Japanese Gen-Z natural to associate these shows.
5	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Like WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit, ''Shaun'' is very popular in Japan. So popular that it often makes the [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-12-21/japan-animation-tv-ranking-december-11-17/.125592 weekly top 10 anime list]] [[note]]in Japan, the word 'anime' refers to animation in general[[/note]]. [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturenews/11365399/Shaun-the-Sheep-Japans-most-popular-import.html There were also plans for a local remake which got scrapped]], as well as [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/05/25-1/shaun-the-sheep-collaborations-with-evangelion-sugar-sugar-rune-and-more-exhibited crossover statues made to promote the movie of the franchise]] with Japanese properties such as Franchise/HelloKitty, Manga/SugarSugarRune, and even Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion. Shaun even appears in VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker, playable as one of the Mystery Mushroom costumes. Walt Disney Studios Japan even distributes the series on home media in the country, alongside the movies and specials.
6	* MoralEventHorizon:
7	** While Trumper from TheMovie might have been a slightly pathetic villain at first, he eventually crosses the line either with the abusive conditions he keeps his captives in, or when he outright attempts to [[spoiler:murder the farmer plus all the animals in the climax]].
8	** The llamas from "The Farmer's Llamas" go from merely hooligans and petty bullies to chasing and threatening violence on Shaun for stopping them.
9	* MorePopularSpinOff: To ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit'' (where Shaun originated from. Specifically ''WesternAnimation/ACloseShave''). Although Wallace and Gromit are far from unpopular and are arguably more iconic in pop culture as a whole, Shaun the Sheep has become the far bigger [[CashCowFranchise cash-cow]] (or cash-sheep in this case) for Aardman, with the series having spawned six seasons, two movies, several video games (including a crossover with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker''), a theatrical show, and even its own spin-off series in the form of ''WesternAnimation/TimmyTime''.
10	* NightmareFuel:
11	** From TheMovie, [[spoiler:Trumper trying to outright ''kill'' the animals and the farmer by pushing their caravan into a gorge]]. It doesn't help that he's grabbed a scythe and has an uncanny resemblance to the Grim Reaper.
12	** Some of the expressions of The Llamas from The Farmer's Llamas are quite scary to look at.
13	** In the end credits of ''Farmageddon'', Lu-La's parents' ship knocks several planets into a black-hole.
14	* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: ''VideoGame/HomeSheepHome'' is a very fun and [[SugarWiki/AwesomeArt beautiful-looking]] puzzle platformer that has a ton of creative levels and implements a lot of the series' signature humor into the level design.
15	* SpiritualLicensee: The film, to an extent, is one for ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity''.
16	* {{Squick}}: "Shaun the Farmer", has the farmer's face [[GreenAroundTheGills literally turn green]] and then he throws up in a bucket. ''Twice''.
17	* TearJerker:
18	** The happy flashback from TheMovie, after it cuts to the drabness of the present day.
19	** When Shaun gets stuck in the animal "shelter", you see just how badly the animals are treated.
20	** When the sheep finally track down the Farmer, he's still suffering from memory loss, and shoos them away, leaving them heartbroken and homeless.
21	** The farmer's memory coming back to him just as [[spoiler:he and the other animals think they're about to die]]. They all embrace and just... wait for the inevitable.
22	** In "Fireside Favorite", Bitzer gets taken in from the cold to take a nap by the fire, but Pidsley gets mad because he was previously napping there and tries to throw him back outside. It's even implied that Bitzer has a cold as he has a runny nose and the farmer puts a thermometer in his mouth. Thankfully, the episode ends with Bitzer doing a "thumbs up", indicating he's fine.
23	** In "Farmageddon":
24	*** Shaun finds a holographic picture of Lu-La and her parents and realizes Lu-La is a child. Shaun asks her what happened to her parents. Lu-La, while playing with her doll, changes her expression from happiness to sadness.
25	*** Lu-La's backstory, [[spoiler:after she woke up, she went to her father spaceship to play, but accidently turned it on, and sent herself to earth. After landing, she sadly and fearful calls for her parents.]]
26	*** [[spoiler:After Shaun accidently crashlands the spaceship, Lu-La is heartbroken. She grabs the holographic picture of her and her parents, but it turns off. Bitzer sits with her to comfort her while [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Shaun feels awful for it]].]]
27	* ToughActToFollow: While the sequel, ''Farmageddon'',did receive postive reviews from critics and audiences, many considered the film inferior to the first movie.
28	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: There was an episode done around 3D [=TVs=].
29	* UglyCute: Shaun and the flock's new friend Slip is supposedly a dog (at least she barks and wags her tail) but looks more like a mangy dog/rat/wombat hybrid. She's pretty cute nonetheless, although prospective owners seem to disagree. [[spoiler: Until the end]].
30	* ViewerGenderConfusion: With her very low voice and huge body shape, those unfamiliar with series can easily mistake Shirley for a male.
