Timmy Time

Spin-off of the OG shaun the sheep series, mainly focusing on timmy's playtime at his kindergarten. Animation style same as in the shaun the sheep, they maintain the same country farm-esque sound scores and animal voice gimmicks which i adore. Very cute characterisation and loving the playful bright tone of this show. Very child friendly, even me as an adult found this entertaining. Each episodes have 2 parts. Have many characters but not all of them appears on the same episode at the same time. Great details and have high rewatchable value. Watching this brought me some great memories of my childhood. Highly recommended.

Timmy Time is my favourite toddlers show ever and I only started watching it when I was 18. to triumph over my actual childhood favourites is quite a feat but Timmy truly does deserve it.

Firstly Timmy himself is almost offensively adorable in whatever he is doing. My personal favourite is his shocked face. The array of characters that he goes to nursery with are truly lifelike in their different personalities; you have the laid back badger, annoying, anal Mittens the cat and the seemingly schizophrenic Otis the owl with his weird puppet friend.

Secondly and more importantly, the story lines are really beautiful and simple in a parable-like way. Best examples of this would be episodes like Timmy's Tractor or Timmy Wants to Win. It teaches kids, without being preachy, that if you show kindness to others that's what you'll get in return and that friendship is more important winning. Some of the episodes are more whimsical but you will never be bored with the endless supply of hilarious sounds and facial expressions these creatures can make. The stop motion is PERFECTION as is everything Aardman seems to touch.

You'll enjoy it whatever age you are because it is just damn good storytelling.

It also has a BLOODY BRILLIANT theme tune. Now go watch it.

The first time I saw this show, I wasn't very impressed. My little boy is 2 years old and just love's this Shaun the Sheep spin-off. Where Shaun the Sheep is good for laughs, even for adults... Timmy Time revolves around Shaun's little nephew Timmy, who's going to pre school for the first time - good fun for kids from 2-4.

Timmy has quiet a few friends in school; Ruffy the dog, Stripey the badger, Paxton the pig, Finlay the fox, Yabba the duck, Otus the owl, Mittens the cat, Apricot the hedgehog and Kid the donkey. I wonder if Ruffy the dog is family of Blitzer & Paxton is family of those 3 naughty pigs.

The stop-motion animating is done very nicely, even in small detail.

As a mother of a nearly four year old daughter, I am quite impressed by Timmy Time. My daughter has seen Shaun the Sheep before and loved it too, but she just becomes absolutely engrossed in Timmy Time. I believe that this is because Timmy Time is completely non-verbal. It requires little ones to really think about the elements of the story. They must listen to the intonation of the cute little noises each animal makes and decipher emotions and meaning. I truly believe that Timmy Time encourages higher-order thinking, thus being a show worth a toddler watching.

As for an adult's perspective, Timmy Time is very tolerable. There are some toddler shows out there which I would be more than glad to never see again. Although I wouldn't call Timmy Time my personal favorite, I would definitely say its not half bad. The noises that the animals make are hilarious and they are just oh-so-cute.

I recently watched some episodes of Timmy Time, and I have to say, it's a pretty charming little show. It's aimed at preschoolers and follows Timmy, a young lamb, as he navigates life at a nursery with his friends. The animation is cute and colorful, which is always a big hit with kids.

What I appreciate most is the simple storylines that usually revolve around themes like friendship, sharing, and problem-solving. It's nice to see a show that teaches valuable lessons without being too heavy-handed about it. The characters are endearing, and there's a good mix of humor that can keep both kids and adults entertained, even if it's quite simplistic.

However, I think it could be a bit repetitive after a while. The episodes tend to follow a similar pattern, which might not hold the attention of older kids for long. Still, for its target audience, I believe it does its job well.

Overall, I'd rate Timmy Time a solid 7 out of 10. It's enjoyable and wholesome, though it might lack some depth for those looking for more variety. Perfect for little ones, but perhaps not something that will keep parents on the edge of their seats.
