All is well at Mossy Bottom Farm, except for the fact that the animals will do anything to get out of work. So, Shaun the sheep and his scheming friends devise a plan to put their master to sleep. However, the ruse backfires when the poor farmer finds himself transported to the big city, having lost his memory. Now, it's up to Sean, Timmy the lamb, Shirley the ewe and the rest of the gang to travel to the metropolis and get him back, while not landing in even more trouble themselves.

Critics Consensus

Warm, funny, and brilliantly animated, Shaun the Sheep is yet another stop-motion jewel in Aardman's family-friendly crown.

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

Gone With The Twins

Through outstanding slapstick, imaginatively choreographed chase sequences, and all manner of visual gags, an engaging story unfolds.

Rated: 8/10

"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

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!

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!!!!!!!!!
