Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Shaun will awaken the inner-tot in adults, and the inner-adult in tots. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2015 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic The Shaun the Sheep Movie manages to be smart, moving and hilarious without the inclusion of a single word of dialogue. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2015 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in A heartwarming, fun, smart experience is kneaded into a simple, delightful and insightful story. Aug 13, 2015 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) [A] sweet and funny tale... Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Delightfully free of the stifling commercial sensibilities embraced by today's most popular animated features, the film may not venture into unexplored narrative territory, but its pleasures are clever, sweet, and often hilarious. Rated: 3.5/4 May 29, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Through outstanding slapstick, imaginatively choreographed chase sequences, and all manner of visual gags, an engaging story unfolds.

MrEpic 1 Really good, even without any voice acting! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Brad CKA L Oh man! So the thing about this movie is... well the important thing to reminder would be... I mean I don't want to say too much... however... I was going to say... the thing is... I don't know just see it yourself. And check out my longer review: https://youtu.be/-ZZfAGpRz_o?si=wJgspxO5SsOu1css Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Jay W "Shaun the Sheep" is a spinoff of the three-time Oscar winning duo of Wallace and Gromit. It was a TV series before getting this feature, and it is once again brought to us by Aardman animation. Their distinctive claymation style never ceases to radiate charm. The unique British humor and visual comedy is effortlessly endearing. And not to bury the lead, the whole movie is dialogue free. That has its pros and cons. On the positives, the movie now has universal appeal. Whether you are old or young, or whatever language you speak. On the negative side, there isn't much to this movie. It is basically a longer version of a TV episode. The plot feels very contrived, and certain character decisions don't add up. There is some forced third act drama that feels out of place. But other than those things, there is little baaaaad things about this film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Cameron B A gem of a movie from Aardman (once again) and a movie that makes you laugh and cry at the same time and cry because of how hard you're laughing. Absolute Beauty! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Charlie P Dude the scene where Shaun hums the song and everybody else does is amazing and it makes me cry. Same with the scene where Shaun and the farmer and bitzer and all the other sheep are about to die but they all hug the farmer whimpering and the farmer realizes and just-OH! IT IS SUCH A GREAT 10/10 MOVIE!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Daniel M Was close to giving it a 9, but damn the scene where the sheep hum a song to the little sheep, aw fuck it 5 stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
