If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Opening
I believe this cover artwork constitutes an official crossover between the DWU and… the universe from which Shaun the Sheep originates (and Star Wars, but that's irrelevant here).
If I am correct in this assumption (by all means tell me if I'm not), what should the scope of the crossover page be: just the Shaun the Sheep series by itself, or the Wallace & Gromit franchise as a whole? WaltK ☎ 19:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Discussion
Is the cover art technically licensed? If so, covering cover art is a whole discussion of its own (perhaps the caption could be taken as a title?), but I believe series pages would be warranted. I can't think of any references to the DWU in W&G itself, but Shaun the Sheep has had a couple, and one might be licensed? Anyway, if it's licensed, I personally think an overview of Shaun the Sheep would be most reasonable, but feel free to disagree. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 22:01, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
