The last sheep

The sheep set out on the Holy Night to see the newborn child.

The Christmas story from the sheep’s point of view is based on the book by Ulrich Hub with pictures by Jörg Mühle. The Christmas special was produced as a commissioned work for WDR from the first design drafts to the final mix in the TrickStudio. Annette Frier and Bernhard Hoecker, among others, were engaged as narrators.

The first broadcast took place on the four Sundays of Advent 2020 in “The show with the Mouse”.
