The series, which is available in 104 x 12 mins. and 52 x 24 min. formats, is a multicultural family sitcom starring fluffy sheep, co-produced by Ceidiog, S4C and Al Jazeera Children’s Channel.

"I'm delighted that Monster are to distribute The Baaas,” says the show’s creator and Cediog managing director Nia Ceidiog. “The show is truly universal — it's about family values, and The Baaas are an extraordinary, ordinary family. They just happen to be walking, talking, singing sheep! Being with The Baaas is about belonging!"

The Baaas joins Monster’s catalog of award-winning animations, including Birdy, Abby Careful, I’m an Animal and I’m a Dinosaur, Jungle Beat and Gazoon, as well as the Oscar-winning short film Harvie Krumpet and Oscar-nominated Jasper Morello and Give Up Yer Aul Sins.
