Synopsis

"Sheep in the Big City" was an American animated series on Cartoon Network, airing for two seasons from 2000 to 2002. The pilot premiered August 18, 2000, as part of Cartoon Network's "Cartoon Cartoon Summer." Created by Mo Willems, the show follows a runaway sheep named Sheep as he has an unexpected adventure in a busy city. The series features a collection of loosely connected sketches and shorts, similar to "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show." Its humor is clever and often explores different types of speech through the characters and stories, appealing more to older viewers than typical children's animation. "Sheep in the Big City" also includes many references to filmmaking and television, adding depth for those familiar with those worlds. It was a huge success, achieving Cartoon Network's highest premiere ratings for an original series at the time of its debut.
