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.

Warm, funny, and brilliantly animated, Shaun the Sheep is yet another stop-motion jewel in Aardman's family-friendly crown.

Shaun will awaken the inner-tot in adults, and the inner-adult in tots.

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.
