"Shaun The Sheep" (2015)


Made in 2014 and released at the tail end of 2015...

“Shaun The Sheep” is so unapologetically adorable, you will be unable to NOT enjoy your time watching it. It’s cutesy without being annoying, and fun. The story is simple, but the journey, not so much. And there isn’t any dialogue.
Anyone who wants to get into making movies should watch movies like this. The visuals tell the story.
It begins on the mundane world of sheep herding. Wake up, get ready for the day, wash, rinse, repeat. Shaun, the title character is tired of this daily ritual. One day he is inspired to “take a day off.” To which he enlists the help of the other sheep in the flock to dupe The Farmer. When an accident occurs, in which The Farmer inadvertently travels to “The Big City” The sheep and the sheepdog set off to get The Farmer back.
Please watch this movie. This should be shared with family as it won’t get irritating on repeat views (as something like “Inside Out” would…with the color alone). This is the same fun you have with most Nick Park productions have (“Wallace and Grommet”). It’s on the same level of cuteness and innovative storytelling.
I love this flick.
