Get ready for cuteness overload! Shaun the Sheep has finally graced the big screen. Stop-motion animation at its finest, the team of talents behind this gem toiled for an entire week to create around two minutes of footage . So you can imagine the amount of time and energy put in to finish this 85 minute film.
Shaun the Sheep is not just incredibly cute. It's not simply entertaining with its lively plot. It's smart. Loaded with tongue-in-cheek references to nursery rhymes (like the "cow jumped over the moon"), Blue Peter (the famous British children's show), pop culture and much more, there's a lot of delightful attention to detail. There's also tons of fun commentary on the power of advertising, the influence of social media, how people blindly follow trends like sheep (pun intended) and how we never appreciate what we have until we lose it.
Shaun the Sheep the movie is fluffy in a good way. It will please the youngsters while bringing a smile to the face of us adults.
