Timmy marks Aardman's foray into television for preschoolers and combines the production company's stop-motion animation style for kids age 2-5. The short-form series stars a charming little sheep, three-year-old Timmy, a character based on sketches by Academy Award-winner Nick Park (Wallace & Gromit in a Close Shave) and introduced on the award-winning series Shaun the Sheep, airing on Disney Channels around the world.

Miles Bullough, head of Broadcast at Aardman, commented, "We are thrilled to partner with Disney on our first major foray into preschool programming. Having worked with Disney Channels in several territories on Shaun the Sheep, it made complete sense for us to join forces on Timmy - we know that they will take great care of our latest offspring."

Each episode will follow a day in the life of Timmy as he learns something about himself and all of his friends - an assortment of bright young animals, some farmyard, some domestic and some wild. Timmy's world is set over the hill and down the lane from Shaun's farm and is a bright, colorful, stylized world with its own unique look.

The creative producer and supervising director of the series is Jackie Cockle (Bob the Builder, Noddy and animator on Cinderella among others). The executive producer is Miles Bullough (Shaun the Sheep).
