Right from the poor rooster trying to stay in shot at the start, this comedy adventure is riddled with subtle and detailed humour to complement the entertaining story that sees the eponymous sheep decide he needs a day off from the farm. He and his flock-mates go a-frolicking in the field and that's when disaster strikes.…

<em>'Shaun the Sheep Movie'</em> is pretty good. The stop-motion animation side of things is expectedly brilliant, though it's the humour that is most impressive about this film - it's nothing hilarious, but a lot of the gags are amusing. It also has a fairly endearing feel to it. I watched some episodes of the television series growing up and do recall enjoying them, so I had a feeling I'd like this too.

I was never really into Shaun the Sheep when I was kid and I also didn't enjoy this movie as much as I would if I was. I probably had the same problem with this film as I had with Minions. It isn't bad idea but it's too much minutes for too little words. Shaun the Sheep is great idea but much more enjoyable when it's in seven minutes instead of 85.…

> Losing that you love makes you realise its value. The only reason to I go to Nick is to watch 'Shaun the Sheep'. This show was watched by many adults as well, a popular one among all the ages. As the fan of this series, we have been waiting very long to get a movie version. I was excited to see it and of course enjoyed it completely.…
