British Comedy Guide, 15th March 2021A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon review

Chris Philp, The Digital Fix, 10th February 2020A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon Blu-ray review
What is there left to say about Aardman animation? Consistently brilliant for decades, their latest film, the sequel to 2015s Shaun The Sheep Movie is another absolute gem. Essentially a modern-day silent film, Farmageddon is a delightful, warm-hearted adventure that had me giggling all the way through, and at some points absolutely howling with laughter.
