I’ve been a big fan of “Wallace & Gromit” for years, so I was happy to see another Nick Park/Aardman series, “Shaun the Sheep,” show up on the Disney channel.

Now “Shaun the Sheep: Off the Baa!” is coming to DVD on Nov. 11, 2008. While the Disney episodes are “shorts,” aired in between other shows, the DVD features eight full-length episodes that revolve around Shaun and his barnyard pals, Shirley, Timmy and the Naughty Pigs.

More after the jump, including a trailer…

The episodes include:

• “Off the Baa” – Shaun turns a head of cabbage into a soccer ball for the ultimate midday soccer match.  But he has to watch out – the neighboring Naughty Pigs look to steal the ball for an afternoon snack!
• “Timmy in a Tizzy” – Little lamb Timmy is in tears when his stuffed teddy bear is in the clutches of the Farmer.
• “Buzz Off Bees” – An altercation with a lone bee incites the hive into retaliation against the flock. Can Shaun take the sting out of a bad situation?
• Who is the Mummy” – The newly-hatched chicks think Shaun is their mom. Will Shaun be able to get rid of them?
• “Mower Mouth” – Here’s a goat with an appetite for…everything.  When the mad muncher gets loose, he takes Shaun for the ride of his life!
• “Fleeced” – It’s wool-shearing time. From sabotaging the clippers to hiding in disguise, the flock will do anything to keep their wool on.  It’s The Great Escape! Sheep style.
• “Shaun Shoots the Sheep” – Say cheese!  When tourists leave a camera behind, the sheep are ready for their close-ups.  But when the Naughty Pigs swipe the clicker, it becomes a fight to the photo finish!
• “Mountains Out Of Molehills” – It’s a mole lotta trouble!  When a mole creates earthly havoc around the barnyard, the flock takes action to get rid of him.
