Awesome Movie

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The sheep on a small farm hatch a clever plan to have a day off, but things turn awry as their farmer ends up in the city with amnesia in this animated comedy from Aardman. While based on a television series of the same name, the film works remarkably well even with limited knowledge of the show and characters, though the most remarkable aspect of 'Shaun the Sheep Movie' is the complete absence of dialogue. There are some awkward bits in which the human characters mutter incomprehensibly to one another, but for the most part, the film spins an incredibly involving story without the need for spoken words throughout. Not of all the humour is slapstick either, which would have been an easy trap to fall into here. There are some neat visual puns, like a cow literally jumping over the moon, while the funniest moments come from the claymation humans reacting to all the chaos around them (look out for one foreground character's reaction when the animal catcher becomes stuck inside a horse!). There is also an amazingly funny part in which the sheepdog is mistaken for a surgeon and the patient being operated on is heavily anesthetised after trying to point out his tail to the operating room nurses. Not all of the gags work and the climax is more than a little over-the-top, but this is otherwise a surprising delight from start to finish.

"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.

I hate my life because Luke Padfield (not the IT technician) always ruins my plans because he doesn't like living in my shadow. Goodbye world, goodbye Luke... It's got great characters with great imagination and I love what the director has done with the classic tale of "sheep meets girl" and I really think that they should make a sequel(if they haven't decided on that already). Personally, this is one of my favourite films of all time and I truly believe that every one should give this wonderful adaptation of the TV series a go. Great film though. Definitely would watch again if I'm still alive in ten minutes. ;) Love from BIGBOYBIGMANBIGPAPA

I never expected to enjoy this movie so much but it is extremely funny with very emotional parts and a fantastic ending as well. The main moral in this movie is to not take things for granted because you never know how much something means to you until it's gone. And in this case, the sheep try to get the Farmer back after a series of mishaps causes them to end up in the big city.There is little to no dialogue so most of the humor is visual instead of puns and comebacks which some movies rely on. I cannot stress this enough... it is hilarious. There are tons of funny things all throughout the movie. There are a couple of adult jokes which is rather awkward considering that Shaun the Sheep is a show on ABC for Kids, and some humor is obnoxious, but almost everything besides that made me burst out laughing.The city looks amazing and there is more detail in this movie than in the cartoon. The sheep are fluffier, their eyes are shinier, and everything looks more realistic. The claymation is very smooth and looks like CGI. The plot is good enough for a movie like this and gives a lot more depth to the characters from the show. There are a couple of new characters, too.Even if you don't like the show I recommend this if you want to watch something exceedingly funny and charming with impressive claymation and some heart.
