Contains Comic Mischief. And Sheep.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The only handheld videogame based on the award-winning TV show from Aardman Animation, Shaun the Sheep allows players to assume the role of the lovable sheep, Shaun, as he tries to find the rest of the flock before the Farmer arrives home. Designed exclusively for the Nintendo DS™, Shaun the Sheep will feature the fan-favorite characters, items, and locations from the popular stop-motion animated series on the Disney Channel, as well as original content for all new experiences with Shaun and the rest of the flock. Gamers will explore areas based on the series, unlock show-related items and work with other sheep to maneuver around obstacles and access hidden areas. A family-friendly gameplay experience, Shaun the Sheep offers three different gameplay modes that include fun filled mini-games such as “Baaath Time” and “Flock ‘n Roll”, collectable slide puzzles and more that extend the gameplay experience for players of all ages.

KEY FEATURES:
