Shaun's festive excitement turns to dismay when a raid on the farmhouse for bigger stockings goes wrong and Timmy, the smallest of the flock, goes missing. Now Shaun has to find his little pal before he ends up as somebody else's Christmas present. As ever there's no dialogue, just pure slapstick, a bumbling Bitzer and enough background gags to keep grown-ups busy while the children laugh at the obvious ones. Aardman at its cosy best, and a neat half hour to put on while the potatoes roast.
