Shaun the Sheep, Aardman’s most popular claymation character, made his debut in the Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit movie ‘A Close Shave’ (1995). His character was so popular that he was given his own TV series in 2007. Since it was broadcast in over 180 countries, the intelligent and rebellious little sheep gathered millions of fans, so it was a matter of time before a feature film was made.
The movie puts Shaun and his flock in a new environment. This time, their mischief causes the farmer to be removed from the farm. In a joint effort, the sheep have to brave the big city to save him. What ensues is an epic adventure in the successful Aardman tradition, with original plotlines and intelligent jokes at lightning speed. A comedy for both young and old.
