Following auditions at Mossy Bottom Farm, Shawn (voiced by
Mr Tumble himself Justin Fletcher), The Farmer and Bitzer his dog have all got
parts in the new feature length film Shawn the Sheep Movie (2015) with
extras being cast from other members of Shawn’s flock which includes regulars
like Timmy and his mum, The Twins, Shirley, Nuts and Hazel. New members of the
cast include Slip the orphan pooch and the villain of the piece, animal warden
Trumper. This latest stop-motion animated comedy from Aardman is based on the
original TV series which I’m sure you will all be familiar with via the box set
you’ve got stashed away under the pretext that its for your grandchildren, yeah
that’ll be right!

This latest story involves Shaun, Bitzer and the flock going
into the big city to rescue The Farmer who after an accident ends up in
hospital with amnesia. But he soon wonders off and because of his sheep
shearing skills ends up as a celebrity hairdresser. In the meantime Shaun and
Blitzer end up in Animal Control after being captured by Trumper. Will they
manage to escape, will they cure The Farmer of his new sense of importance, and
will they all return safely to Mossy Bottom farm?

What can you say about a movie that appeals to all age groups
and children as well, a movie that puts entertainment at the top of its ‘to-do’
list. A movie that puts laughter fair and square back into comedy, in fact if
there was an Academy Award for making people laugh then this is the film that
would win it.

A nice publiity shot for the film. |
