Shaun the Sheep
Scored from 31 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
Shaun is a resourceful sheep on a small farm in the English countryside, who leads his flock into schemes the moment the Farmer's back is turned. The Farmer is short-sighted and largely oblivious, leaving his long-suffering sheepdog Bitzer to keep the animals in order and hide the damage before it is noticed. Each seven-minute episode builds a self-contained escapade out of visual gags, with the Naughty Pigs next door adding to the trouble. Aardman made the series in stop-motion clay animation, and it has no dialogue at all: the characters communicate in bleats, grunts and mumbles.
Shaun the Sheep is a 2007 animation, comedy and family television series. Its country of origin is listed as the United Kingdom. Its certificate is TV-Y. Episodes run about 7m.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,359 2000s television series, not against the whole corpus. Only 31 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 32 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Shaun the Sheep lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2000s (1,360 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 31.
