What a delight this is... Wonderfully silly, very nicely animated, and just a pleasure during the holidays.

Skiing/sledding gags, a Roomba run amok bit - there's just enough going on to keep the littlest kids interested. And a tiny dollop of heart helps.

Rated: 3/4

As usual for an Aardman production, this dialogue-free treat is filled with creative delights, gorgeous stop-motion animation, and oodles of delightful details.

Rated: 5/5

[The film] isn't breaking any new ground here, but the level of sophistication of its humor can be disarming, deftly balancing slapstick and sight gags with clever deep cuts.

I just love the sheep's mouths. They just make me laugh. They are adorable and the story is sweet.

"Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas" is a festive treat that wraps you up in classic Aardman charm with high-flying Christmas vibes. While the story might be as thin as Santa's sleigh, it manages to soar just enough to keep you engaged. This flick might not have you rolling on the floor laughing, but it'll sprinkle enough chuckles to warm your heart. There's nothing bad about it, yet it doesn't quite ascend to masterpiece status. It comfortably nestles in the 'mid but entertaining' category. Clocking in at 30 minutes, it's the perfect length for a Christmas special; long enough to spread cheer, short enough to hold attention. It's a decent watch, but as a Christmas special, it's a jingle bell delight. If you're in need of some feel-good, festive animation that embraces the spirit of the season without taking itself too seriously, Shaun and the gang deliver just that.

A good time was had by hubby, wife, and kid for the Shaun the Sheep Short. It flies, it's fun, and like all from this series, you either get it or you don't. Final Score 8.2/10
