I hope Shaun is played by the same actor who does him on TV. Too often they
import some Hollywood name when they switch to the large screen format.
Although Dustin Hoffman might be OK.

How would you be able to tell? All the actor has to do is bleat. There
does seem to be some disagreement as to whether Shaun is a Shropshire or
a Suffolk sheep though. I'm not sure I can tell a Salopian bleat from an
East Anglian one though, all sheep sound alike to me.

I think they should give the voice parts to real sheep instead of human
actors, I'm sure it would sound better.

It's excellent - after the style of those Ronnie Barker shorts where Ronnie
and company mumbled poshly but were able to convey the meaning of their
utterances!

Excellent for overseas sales, of course, and brilliantly written by Ronnie -
I presume it was Ronnie's idea.

He's clearly from Brooklyn, since he bleats from the corner of his mouth.

I was thinking of Shaun Baun.
