Aardman's A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon offers a far more entertaining jolt of family film action by embroiling the naughty sheep in an endearingly madcap sci-fi adventure. When a mischievous alien called Lu-La crash-lands near Mossy Bottom Farm, Shaun has to help her get home, ET-style, all the while trying to keep her out of the clutches of an officious government agent obsessed with capturing her. As you'd expect from Aardman, there are visual gags aplenty, and a subplot in which Shaun's home is turned into a ramshackle alien theme park to exploit the sudden local interest in UFOs is a charmingly British way to pay tribute to the long history of alien invasion B-movies.

Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon review

All the slapstick pratfalls are beautifully timed and briskly cut together, while there's always enough time to scan the frame for delicious bits of business.

Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon review

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

A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon review

Aardman have upped the ante with this dotty Spielbergian sci-fi tale crammed full of sight gags, movie pastiches and charm.

An ingenious, uproarious reminder of what makes Britain great.

Shaun The Sheep: Farmageddon review

A charming silent comedy packed with pop culture references and UFO mysteries.

Jamie Easy, The Sun, 17th October 2019

Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon review

Overstretched, even at 87 minutes, it's the usual clutch of charmingly old-school (physical) gags and groan-worthy puns.

Behind the scenes on Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon

After the first Shuan the Sheep film made $100 million at the box office in 2015, it has taken four years to produce a sequel. That's not surprising when a three-second sequence takes three days to shoot. Alistair Harkness visits the Aardman Animations studio in Bristol to meet the team behind the stop-motion Farmageddon.
