positive · AI labelView post →We went to see the Shaun the Sheep Halloween film yesterday and: it was really, really good, a good spooky plot for the four year old and just packed full of gags. There’s a moment with a parcel delivery that made me properly laugh.
positive · AI labelView post →Shaun the Sheep is back in another film as he and his friends deal with a very hairy creature. It's another wonderful charmer with the characters in another stop motion Halloween treat from Aardman. Anyway, here's my review of The Beast of Mossy Bottom.

neutral · AI labelView post →Well, it's time for me to weigh in on the big new movie discourse so here goes: Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom is delightful! Very funny, full of spooky charm, and with the most fully developed story of the series. The best Shaun the Sheep yet!
positive · AI labelView post →An Oscars "Best Animated Film" category with Coyote vs ACME and Wildwoods nominated. This could be a very special Oscars if that ends up happening. I can see the other nominations going to Hoppers, Forgotten Island and that new Shaun the Sheep film.

neutral · AI labelView post →At a loose end in London today, so went to see Shaun the Sheep and the Beast of Mossy Bottom, which is choc full of horror movie and folk horror gags, including one very funny nod to Game of Thrones. Also saw the trailer for Laika’s new film Wildwood, which looks astonishing.
positive · AI labelView post →There's a reason the new Shaun the Sheep film is only about 90 minutes long and that's to leave at least a few jokes for everybody else. It's a ridiculously rapid fire gag machine. Shaun is a great cultural replacement for both Mickey Mouse and Harold Lloyd. How delightful.
positive · AI labelView post →Excellent Sunday: saw the new Shaun the Sheep film (packed with jokes and attention to detail, highly recommended), had brunch with pancakes and bacon, a wander round almost deserted bits of town and coffee with a friend, then home in just about daylight. Currently comfortably ensconced on the sofa.
positive · AI labelView post →Got out today to catch the last local screening of the new SHAUN THE SHEEP film, which was shockingly down to only one early screening a day at *one* theater. I thought it was hysterical - it's a damn shame either people aren't going, or the theaters have already bailed on it.
positive · AI labelView post →The Shaun the Sheep film was good, but that was only half the trip as we planned to go afterwards to Desi Swaag, a nice authentic Indian restaurant that does vada pav, pav bhagi, good biryanis etc and lovely masala chai,
positive · AI labelView post →went to see the new Shaun the Sheep film and I can't express enough that if you want a fun little comedy full of spooky season vibes, catch this before it leaves theaters. so many fun little jokes and visual references to classic horror films.
positive · AI labelView post →Shaun the Sheep’s third film, The Beast of Mossy Bottom is another great entry in the Shaun the Sheep film series and another great example of Aardman’s stop motion charm. Even with the simple plot, it still had plenty of great things like the very nice stop motion animation….
positive · AI labelView post →Went to watch the new Shaun the Sheep film which made me laugh quite a bit. Seeing a Wombles Easter egg wasn’t expected and I’m all for it.
positive · AI labelView post →Seated for Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom. Excited for this one. My type of “horror” film.
positive · AI labelView post →I got that trailer 4 times already before Coyote Vs Acme, Cars 20th anniversary re release, Shaun The Sheep , and Forgotten Island and I’m already sick of it it really looks like garbage. I’m definitely seeing The Bluey Movie instead. I’m glad I got the teaser for that before the former two films.
negative · AI labelView post →For families, though? Coyote vs Acme is winding down its run, Shaun the Sheep didn't seem to register and I can't imagine that audience demo taking in showings of the Chris Hanson movie and the R-rated horror comedy. I guess Endgame has some family appeal, but re-releases tend to be frontloaded.
neutral · AI labelView post →While attention pivots to other animated family films now streaming or in theaters, let's also make space for SHAUN THE SHEEP: THE BEAST OF MOSSY BOTTOM - unmitigated joy from the opening frame to the last. You won't be disappointed. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

positive · AI labelView post →Worse than not on, they remake shows with cgi and different voice actors. Watching tv with kids is great. The first time I heard my oldest laugh was watching Shaun the Sheep with him. The last one we had moved into the time when everyone had their own idiot screens and it wasn't the same which I regret. I didn't know Bluey existed until she kept nagging me to play games. Bandit is a tough act to follow. I can imagine Bluey and Bingo going out one Saturday with Chilli and Bandit and they…

Aardman are the best in the animation game and every new film they release is a gift.
positive · AI labelView post →New Shaun the Sheep movie is only playing in dubbed version. Could someone who has seen it let me know if there's a lot of dialogue? If it's the just the occasional exclamation, I don't suppose it matters whether or not it's dubbed. Vaguely recall there not being much talking in the last one I saw.

neutral · AI labelView post →Also, we saw the new Shaun the Sheep movie and it was quite charming, as they always are. It's so rare for a film that's completely pantomime to be made and released by a major studio; doesn't happen enough, I say!

neutral · AI labelView post →Shaun the Sheep is always a ton of fun to watch, and the new film The Beast of Mossy Bottom is no exception! It's the first Aardman film I've gotten to see in theatres, too, and the claymation looks awesome on the big screen. Very happy I got to experience this and Coyote vs. Acme in theatres.

positive · AI labelView post →Movie recommendation: Shaun The Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom. No, really. It's very funny, and there are lots of visual gags that viewers of, erm, a certain age will get. And the animation is excellent.
