After:

****I used my daughters preschool pictures and transformed them into oil paintings. They look so pretty, but the oil painting still did not come out right around the nose area.  This is really fun software. My daughter got on and made her name on all her pictures. You can create anything you want with this software.  Put captions or little images on your pictures. This even got my husbands deal of approval which is very rare.  Visit Corel for more information.

Shaun of the Sheep: One Giant Leap for mankind Review

- brandy3 1 Comment

Product Description: Unidentified Farm Objects and paranormal sightings are the norm with Shaun the Sheep and his barnyard buddies Bitzer, Shirley, and Timmy, as they encounter more madcap mischief along with those Naughty Pigs next door. Big laughs are evident, as the creators of the Academy Award-winning Wallace & Gromit  are out to prove that sheep herding fun is universal.

Episodes:

  • The Visitor
  • The Bull
  • Hiccups
  • Bitzer Puts His Foot In It
  • Save The Tree
  • Shaun Encounters

Extras:

  • Sing-Along With Shaun
  • Whack A Pig Game

**** Shaun of the Sheep are really cute short cartoons, that are at times hilarious. This dvd is all about the barnyard animals seeing paranormal activity. My kids thought that this was really cute and funny, they are even trying to convince me that i should buy a farm. I really think that at only 34 minutes long, it’s a waste of dvd. A dvd should at least be an hour long in my opinion.   My kids really had fun with the games, whack a pig was so fun!

Retail: $14.98

Release date: June 8, 2010
