'Shaun the Sheep Movie' is the spin-off feature film of a spin-off television series of 'Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers'. Boasting the same crew that brought us 'Chicken Run' and 'Wallace and Gromit', it promised a lot.The film is made by the Aardman production company and so boasts a pleasant stop-start animation style. This "old-school" way of creating a cartoon is refreshing in the modern world of overused computer imagery and 3D effects.There is no dialogue whatsoever in this film and so it feels like watching an old cartoon such as 'Tom and Jerry'. There are subtle nods to other television shows and films such as 'Breaking Bad', 'Hannibal' and 'Taxi Driver' so the parents are kept amused at times.The story is very easy to follow due to the characters very expressive faces and directions which, being a children's film, make it a lot more simple and universal.Overall, 'Shaun the Sheep Movie' is a good film for children. It has very cute characters and the animation is very fun. However, it doesn't have much for any other demographic unlike the company's previous work. But, saying that, it is an inoffensive and enjoyable film.

"Shaun the Sheep" is a brilliant TV show so when I found out a movie was being made I was thrilled.This film is delightful in so many ways that it is just easier for everyone above a certain age to give in to their inner child. The characters may be fashioned out of clay and wood and painstakingly animated as an extremely slow speed, but the film itself positively crackles with energy.Shaun is extremely well animated and manages to keep the story ticking along and funny enough to keep your interest without really feeling stretched.

That is the awesomest project Aardman Animations needed.Just like one of Aardman's projects, the stop-motion animation is full of colour, imagination, vibrancy and creativity thanks to our pals at Aardman Animations. Very well done.The voice acting is full of gibber, gibber, gibber...that's all I can say.The music will make you dance-craze like a goofy person. At least we have the theme song and it's remix! The visual effects are MIND-BLOWING indeed. The effects are very dazzling for a movie in United Kingdom. The characters are goofy, silly and well characterized, and the gags could make you 'tickle your funny bone!'.I have seen that sheep and his goofy flock on 'Boomerang' (Cartoon Network 2? That was the channel has converted to!). That sheep and his flock is funny, goony, silly, wacky, and crazy.The custom variation of AARDMAN is very funny (especially the 'Admaran' part!) to look at.In conclusion, I will 100% recommended the film and the TV series. It's goofy, funny and the 100% best Aardman project of all time.SCORE: 100% A+

After a scene stealing cameo in the Wallace and Gromit adventure 'A Close Shave' and his own successful TV series, it was no surprise that Aardman decided to spin little Shaun off into his own feature length film.And the results, by and large are worth the effort. Taking inspiration from famous silent movie comedians like Buster Keaton the film is a solid piece of silent family entertainment.Does the film feel a bit dragged out despite its short running time? Yes. Does the idea of the sheep disguising themselves as humans lose its appeal early on? Yes again. The ending also is a little too similar to Toy Story 3 for my liking too.However, these points aside this film is a fun family film that again shows what Aardman are good at.
