Mama Sheep Timmy brings each morning in the kindergarten and at the end of an adventure she picks him up again. Meanwhile, a manageable story from the world of experience which tells the youngest, and accompanied with many repetitions, without dialogue and with slow screen changes child-friendly introduction to the cinematic storytelling. Like all productions from the Aardman studios [ ... ] are the Plastillinfiguren this series lovingly designed and detailed to the smallest detail and animated in the usual perfection. "
