Timmy is a notable member of the flock and the tritagonist of the British television series Shaun the Sheep. Adorable but not as innocent as he looks, Timmy is a lamb who sucks a pacifier and has a tendency to get himself into comical and often dangerous situations. He is the cousin of Shaun the Sheep, the titular character of the series. As part of a running gag; Timmy often manages to either be rescued or miraculously recover unscathed from most of the situations in which he finds himself.

In 2009, Aardman Animations created a spin-off based on his character called "Timmy Time." In Timmy Time, Timmy experiences the highs and lows of daily life at a pre-school. Learning to share, learning to work as a team, being kind and helpful and owning up when you’ve made a blunder are all subjects of each episode. Timmy has a whole host of furry and feathered friends who help and hinder his adventures.

Appearance[]

Timmy is by far the tiniest member of the Flock but has the biggest heart, constantly seen with his best friend little teddy. He sucks a yellow pacifier with a rabbit design. Timmy's body shape and oversized ears are exaggerated to emphasize his young age. Within the setting of Shaun the Sheep; Timmy is portrayed as a toddler and doesn't age much if at all. During the first series, Timmy has one tooth. However, during all subsequent series of Shaun the Sheep, he is portrayed as having all of his teeth.

In Timmy Time, he is portrayed as older with a slightly different body style/posture and a deeper voice. Strangely however, he is portrayed as only having one tooth.

In "Happy Birthday Timmy!”, his birthday is established as being on the 22th of a month that has 30 days. Many fans assumed it was April based on Spring being the time when most lambs are born and April being the only month in Spring to have 30 days. However, the Aardman website lists Timmy's birthday as being in August, which has 31 days.

Personality[]

Timmy is Shaun's cousin. He is the flock's only lamb and thus often the innocent center of chaos. Timmy often tries to be like Shaun. His personality is often contrasting: sometimes he acts responsibly and understands what the older sheep say; other times, he acts like a normal baby, sobbing when something is taken from him or scares him.
