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.

3.5/4

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.

An impressive technical feat, yet one with modest narrative ambitions. Shaun the Sheep Movie shines by sustaining 85 minutes of purely visual, dialogue-free comedy, showcasing Aardman’s stop-motion mastery. It is highly entertaining for younger audiences, though the structure of simple, sequential gags does become a bit tiring; good, but slightly repetitive.

Shaun the Sheep Movie es una película encantadora, divertida y llena de creatividad. A pesar de no tener diálogos tradicionales, logra contar una historia muy entretenida gracias a su excelente animación en stop-motion, el carisma de sus personajes y un humor visual que funciona para todas las edades.

Ok I really enjoyed this movie and have watched it hundreds of times. I feel like giving it 5 stars feels like I really want you all to know I love it. But there were some parts I did not understand as a kid watching it like when the farmer lost him memory and forgot who they were but I understand it now but other then that 4.5 stars!
