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

Un film al dir poco spettacolare, toccante, divertente e in più senza fare aprir bocca ai personaggi: il regista si è proprio superato. Un film sulla libertà: Shaun e il suo gregge pensano che sia meglio scappare alle regole reputate ingiuste e dal padrone cattivo, ma poi cambieranno idea. Un finale pazzesco

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
