IndustriousAngel Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Nice one! While I'd say Laika Studios have an edge when it comes to set and character design, Aardman ist still nr.1 when it's about comedy timing and absurdity. It's difficult to pull off something that entertains an 8 year old as much as someone nearly 50ish like me but it really works in Shaun!

AniNate Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I adored this. Endlessly hilarious and charming in the way one ought to expect from Aardman. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 It's charming and fun.... though I think Shaun & Co are better suited to shorts. (Caveat: I only saw about three-fourths of it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Shaun of the sheep? Sounds like a horror movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Have you watched the show? Sure, Tele Jr used to binge-watch it. Though I've only seen an episode here and there. Edited August 11, 2015 by Telemachos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Really cute movie with an astounding attention to detail, as well as an unexpected emotional punch. Started off as light, fluffy fun (that had some legitimately funny moments such as) all the sheep running around in circles jumping over the fence to put the Farmer to sleep, or that Mr. X poster where the Farmer looks like Wolverine . However, one scene that actually really got to me was when it's "adopt a stray animal from the pound day" and all the animals are doing their best to look nice; and that one dog gets rejected by the couple because she is "ugly" The movie isn't on the same level of Inside Out or anything, but it is good, and deserves more than a $4M opening weekend.

AniNate Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) This is really quite emotional in the second half, both with the stray (loved her, hope they bring her back in future shorts) and when the farmer rejects Shaun. The heartbreak in his eyes is extremely palpable. Edited August 14, 2015 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Very charming film, I chuckled throughout it a lot. Decent emotion in it too, and the 80 minutes feel longer than it is in a good way. The lack of dialogue gives an interesting personality too that most other films try harder to get. Good watch. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 You guys are raving about this? It's cute and smile-worthy in most of its scenes but beyond the mere animation there's nothing special here, and nothing Aardman hasn't done a million times.

AniNate Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I don't know, something about it just clicked in a way I hadn't felt in awhile, even with Inside Out. I can't really put my finger on any one thing to complain about. Everything worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 All power to you. I had a good enough time but I want to see Aardman try new things. For their first feature in three years I'm a little bummed to see them sticking so close to their guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I enjoyed it a bit. Really clever and full lots of heart and laughs. Another winner from Aardman. 9 / 10 Edited October 11, 2015 by FancyArcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Immensely boring, I don't know how could anyone over the age of 5 enjoy this. It would be better if it wasn't a silent movie. Ending was cute. 35/100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Is is true that Shaun The Sheep is a silent film? This kind of makes me not want to see it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's like Simspeak on occasion where people are babbling but it's not anything you can understand but that's about it. Oh yeah, my review: I loved it and it was tied with Fury Road for my favorite movie of last year 5/5 A+ would buy full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolifofo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I avoided watching this film for so long because I thought it was skewed too young. How wrong I was! I'm 20 and I haven't laughed this hard watching a movie since 2013's This Is the End. I mean, people talk about how Minions has adult jokes, but this is one has plenty of them too, except they're ACTUALLY FUNNY here! I'm telling you, this movie is comedy gold. And it even gets a bit touching at the end (and oh so adorable!). I give this an A for being an excellent comedy for all ages. The lesson here is to never, ever underestimate Aardman. Oh and did anyone else start questioning their life choices and consider starting a farm after watching this film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
