2015 Directed by Mark Burton, Richard Starzak
When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for. A mix up with the Farmer, a caravan and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City and it's up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home.
I watched this today with my four year old son. To say that this film entertained us both is an understatement. We were captivated throughout.
The simplicity of the thing is key, the total dedication to the craft involved is paramount and the innocence it conveys is magical.
It is a truly inventive film in how it finds its humour and relates its story without dialogue.
I asked my son on the bus ride home what he thought about the film. He loved it and when I asked him what he thought it was all about he replied with, after giving it some considerable thought,: 'Things are better if you know who you are.'
I hope I'll be as smart as he is one day.
Watch this with your kid or if you ever were one.
Action, suspense, emotion...sheep. All work and no play makes The Farmer a dull boy. So, instead of being a slave to the man, Shaun has the idea to take a load off and relax. This sets off a wild chain of events that lead Shaun and his flock, not to mention Bitzer the dog, from the countryside to the big city. It all culminates in as glorious a vision of PURE FUCKING CINEMA in recent memory. No dialogue here, just impeccably timed sight gags that unleashes uncontrollable laughter in the audience, and maybe helps us learn something about our existence in the process. It's a surprisingly heartfelt tale that tackles issues of love, family, home, time, memory, and doing the…
gorgeously animated and consists of wall-to-wall physical comedy setpieces arguing against the dehumanizing monotony of labor. quite easily include this alongside Rango and Kubo as the best animated movies of the 2010s.
Man's second best friend is Sheep?
The story is about Shaun the main character decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for. A mix up with the Farmer, a caravan, and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City and it's up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home.
I know these a lot of people that may not seen the TV series of Shaun the Sheep and here's my quick opinion on the TV series. I liked the show, I thought the animation was pretty good I mean stop motion never get's old well to me…
Hilarious. Touching. Heartfelt. Delightful.
Shaun and his sheep friends organize a daring coup in order to get rid of the farmer who takes care of them, but soon they realize that they needed him around more than they realized. Shenanigans ensue when the farmer loses his memory and becomes a famous hairstylist and the sheep encounter an animal abductor who thinks he's James Bond (when really he’s Blofeld). The story eventually comes together as a tale of family and friendship all the more lovable because of the way it shows folks who used to be enemies coming together and standing up for each other. A truly loving portrait of family and friendship.
Completely lacking in pretense despite the incredible accomplishment…
peter lord and david sproxton to other animation studio execs: does ur animated feature have hannibal lecter and breaking bad references???
Complete and utterly calamity... I love it. If you like the Wallace and Gromit films you'll like this. Very cute and the animation is lovely.
I need to know what on earth the goldfish in animal containment did to get in there though, like what kind of havok was he wreaking from a bowl? He has to be the fish from The Cat in the Hat. There's no other explanation
What a treat this film is. A classic comedy feel, retaining the knowing slapstick of Aardman's best work.
That a new film is due next year is pleasing news.
I just love Aardman films and SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE continues that production house's illustrious line of stop-motion animated films.
Uncomplicated but certainly not lacking in style or substance, SHAUN THE SHEEP is full of warm humor, enjoyable characters, and touching sentimentality.
Due to the lack of dialogue, there is a lot less to chew on than, say, CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT. But SHAUN THE SHEEP is certainly not lacking in wit or heart.
If you have a heart, you'll like this movie.
My main criticism for Shaun the Sheep Movie is that the substance is as woolly as the cast. That's not to say there isn't some solid slapstick shovelled onto every scene!
