Critics Consensus

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom combines snappy visual comedy and Aardman's endearingly handmade aesthetic to craft a charming, deceptively funny monster movie pastiche.

Audience Says

Shaun of the Sheep offers a Halloween treat with The Beast of Mossy Bottom, a delightful Aardman stop-motion film that aptly turns horror influences into family-friendly scares.

One of the things that I like about these films is that the filmmakers remember is that, despite the fact that you're doing stop-motion animation, close-ups matter.

It's really charming and lovely. I will always love Shaun; he is one of my favorite characters.

Beast of Mossy Bottom is a playfully genre-literate monster-movie pastiche, packed with sly horror references (the Psycho shower scene nod is gloriously silly) and crisply timed visual humour.

These movies remind us just how much fun animation is when it's not talking you to death.

3.5/4

The movie manages to be quite universal — with the absence of discernible dialogue, just hums and grunts — and also specifically British.

It was cute and funny, and I originally chose this movie because I wanted to support companies that havent gone woke like Disney and others. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed that the producers chose to include unnecessary LGBTQ content, specifically a scene involving two women getting married. I dont feel that this added anything meaningful to the story, and I wish the producers had left it out. It was disappointing to see a movie I otherwise enjoyed go in that direction.

It’s incredible to me that they keep making Shaun the Sheep without dialogue and it KEEPS being the right call. You don’t need it. The jokes land, the story is good. There was an even a brief unexpected Game of Thrones reference. I love this. I hope they keep making Shaun the Sheep movies.
