Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Nintendo and Aardman Animations – they of Wallace and Gromit and Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists fame – have collaborated to produce a series of animated 3D shorts starring everyone’s farmyard favourite Shaun the Sheep.

The Raising the Baaa! making of video charts Shaun’s journey from concept, to schedule board, to story board, to model and finally to a 3D episode on your Nintendo 3DS.

The clip also explores how each specific character is made and shows a sneak-peek of an upcoming episode where Shaun parodies a famous character from Nintendo. What’s more impressive is the level of detail in design and planning which goes into creating the best 3D effect on Nintendo’s console.

Fans of Shaun and his farmyard friends can already enjoy the first few 3D installments of Shaun the Sheep, with more to follow, on 3DS’ SpotPass and Nintendo Video channels.
