Penguin O A must-see! This is the short film from which Shaun the Sheep originates, and it doesn't disappoint. We have everything from sheep chewing up a whole house to a dog being framed for a crime, a romance story which ends pretty quickly, and a cyber-dog. If any short film has all of this in it, it must be one of the best. And it is. Keep it up, Nick Park! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review K G Wallace & Gromit with a story on a whole new level. This short film is more exciting than any other: we have been introduced to Shaun the Sheep (the surprising hero) who years later has a spinoff saga named after himself. We are also introduced to more humans, Wendolene Ramsbottom, & it was sad they could not be together because she could not stand cheese. And literally an amazing villain, Preston, who looked threatening & was a cyberdog (invented by her father) which saw him as more terrifying. I like how this had more than any other short of Wallace & Gromit: it had more adventure, more locations & an impressively darker tone (Preston framing Gromit for sheep rustling & led to him almost becoming a fugitive when he escaped) & more. Before there was more, I would always say to it "The Best One Yet."
