The clothing brand barbour it becomes, temporarily, Baa-bour again. And the endearing animated sheep of the entertainment universe “Shaun the Sheep” star, for the second consecutive year, the christmas advertisement of the brand.
In this way, Barbour once again works with the Aardman animation studio and With stop-motion techniques he has created a new little adventure on the fictitious Mossy Bottom Farm. On this occasion, the piece shows the dog Bitzer trying to direct a choir of sheep who, due to the cold, cannot sing properly.
In an act of affection and generosity, the dog goes on his motorcycle to get Barbour clothing for his sheep friends. Thus, all of them end up looking branded hats and scarves and, in the warmth of Christmas, they sing joyfully to the end of their carol.
Along with the Christmas announcement, Barbour has also shared a video of the creative process. It shows Aardman professionals bringing animation to life at the studio in Bristol, UK.
Additionally, the brand is producing a special edition of 30 jackets through its Re-loved recycling program. Each jacket will incorporate “Shaun the sheep” inspiration, with faux shearling lined interior, cuffs and collar. It will also feature a Shaun “Baabour” badge, a Shaun the Sheep keychain and embroidery on the front pocket.
The jackets can be purchased in physical and online Barbour stores, and all Profits from this collection will go to Oxfam. Additionally, Barbour has “hidden” some of those in several of the organization’s stores across the country for users to find and purchase.
