Reviews & comments
Sydney Morning Herald
pressAardman prefers the deadpan approach, helped by the fact its puppeteers, animators and editors can do so much with a single, well-timed gesture. Never mind about the words, Shaun’s body language is all he needs to win you over and raise a laugh.
Stuff
pressPerfect school holiday fare that might just inspire your own budding animators.
The Times
pressJustin Fletcher, aka Mr Tumble, is again on hand to provide Shaun's bleats and shrieks, and the slapstick is on the money, as is the visual characterisation, whether human, ovine or extraterrestrial.
The Guardian
pressAardman's Shaun the Sheep - a silent film star with the chops of Keaton and Chaplin - returns for another dottily daft big-screen family adventure.
Variety
pressThe great pleasure of these films' bright, largely wordless slapstick is that it plays universally whilst accommodating all manner of obsessive, idiosyncratic detailing at the edges.
Time Out
pressThis sheep-quel mixes the same jolliness and English eccentricity with a Spielbergian sci-fi twist - and pulls it off with typical Aardman charm.
Stuff
pressThrow in a very visual demonstration of the effects of soft-drinks and a special post end-credit cameo and the result is another magnificent example of the care, attention and sheer craft (you can even see the steam coming off a packet of chips in one scene) that Aardman put into their stop-motion movies.
