The woolly heroes of Aardman Animations' stop-motion animated hit Shaun the Sheep Movie are back and headed to space in this sci-fi sequel.
When an alien crash-lands near Mossy Bottom Farm, Shaun sets off on a mission to shepherd the intergalactic visitor home before an evil organisation can capture her and bring about Farmageddon at the Farm.
Aardman 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.

Justin 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.

Aardman's Shaun the Sheep - a silent film star with the chops of Keaton and Chaplin - returns for another dottily daft big-screen family adventure.

The 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.

This sheep-quel mixes the same jolliness and English eccentricity with a Spielbergian sci-fi twist - and pulls it off with typical Aardman charm.
Full reviewThrow 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.
