Shaun is a world famous cheeky sheep character who is the protagonist of a stop motion cartoon titled Shaun the Sheep. He is an anthropomorphic character, despite not being able to talk in a human language, as he shows more intelligence than the farmer, who is the only human protagonist in the film. Anthropomorphism in the cartoon is used to generate humour in contrast to the initial character design of Shaun which was debuted on an episode of Wallace and Gromit titled 'A Close Shave', in which he also a trouble maker, but stands up on 4 feet.
Another thing that can be taken from the cartoon is the diversity of the character. For instance, other sheep characters in the cartoon have different designs and they act differently, although their characteristics are not as developed as Shaun's. The different traits of the other sheep have more significance in terms of their role in the cartoon rather than just being seen as a same herd. On the other hand, this can help to expand more possibilities for the development of the show. Thus, contributing to its great success.
