Shaun initially can't get rid of them fast enough, but when their mother shows up, he has to save their lives.
There were major changes in the looks of the characters (e.g., The pigs are slimmer, Timmy’s mother’s eyes are big and connected, the Farmer now has a molded line separating his stubble and Bitzer and Pidsley now has detailed fur), the bull was absent throughout the whole series and the title sequence was also adapted to reflect these changes.

But as Timmy is opening some presents, an important football game on the Farmer's TV distracts them from minding him.
He gets kidnapped by the greedy pigs, who then open all of his presents and steal them for themselves, and when the game ends and Timmy’s mother enters the barn and realises he’s gone and the floor is a mess with wrapping paper, it’s up to Shaun and the flock to rescue Timmy and retrieve his presents before night falls.
A sixth series began airing in 2020 on Netflix under the subtitle Adventures from Mossy Bottom.
New characters appeared in the series, such as Stash the Squirrel and Farmer Ben, which also affected the new intro – now with three various variants.
