Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

dougvanbenthuysen While this film comes off first as quaint and harmless, a soundless adventure of an above-average sheep and his pals, it takes a dark turn.In one scene, one of the characters grabs a woman in an inappropriate fashion. He approaches her from behind, and does things to her that should not be described in print for fear a child might read this review. The assault victim, visibly shaken, rightfully takes it out on the nearest male, but the real criminal escapes. When we next see him, he is "high-fiving" his friend in celebration of his "conquest".As there is a character in the film named "Trumper", I can only conclude that this film is a form of propaganda, promoting a deplorable sexual morality that must be avoided.Do NOT watch this film!

Wei Jay Tan Begin.I was a bloody idiot if/when I put all of my fanship or trust into animation (I never did do so about anime because I labeled myself as a non and anti otaku before it could seduce me.). I don't know if I ever did, but I won't. And at them same time, I won't stereotype animation at all. It's far too common, much like the existence of racism in our present and modern society. Yet, always and invariably, there is still bound to be stereotyping in the animation world (All thanks to Anime of course. However, that bloody dangerous genre could destroy an individual, for all I know.). On the other hand, I do appreciate stop motion animation, ranging from Wallace and Gromit, to Chicken Run (Neither of which I have seen) to Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009). Yes, that I did see. And while The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) will always remain something of a pure piece of treasure to me, I appreciated Fantastic Mr Fox even though I never did READ Fantastic Mr. Fox. Stop Motion, unlike traditional or modern animation, I feel is more approachable to. And by the reaction of some of my fine young friends (younger than me, a lot), I can see it.But hey, to top it off, I never did watch much of stop motion involving a character, who is a male sheep named SHAUN, SHAUN THE SHEEP, I did see some footage of him, in some situations, although I don't remember what they're about. The very thing that I did remember, is that I did see him before. On the other hand, how I did get to see Shaun The Sheep Movie (2015) was also in the same scenario: "In a wholly unexpected way.".It happened on a trip to a country resort where I have been before. Automatically meaning that this isn't my first visit to the resort. It was only a one day stay, arriving in the morning and leaving tomorrow morning. But in the afternoon of the day of the arrival, it happened. On the television, it caught my attention, and kept it's firm grip on me until the credits began to roll out. And despite the fact that I missed some of the opening, it still gave me enough of an idea of what the whole thing was all about: "A Lesson". Isn't a lesson or two in a film something of a great addition to it? It's themes, my friend.Shaun the Sheep Movie Stars Shaun, Bitzer & the rest of the flock of sheep (Including Timmy) and the Farmer. Although due to the fact that the film has completely no dialogue you will most likely not catch most of their names. Look it up if you like. I won't go much into the plot as it would involve spoilers, something of which I frankly don't really care much about as enjoyment isn't much of my concern when it comes to watching films.Going through the film is a flume ride through the tracks of creativity. Since there is no dialogue you could simply just pay full attention to the animation and visual storytelling. Which, strikes one as, both, baa-rillant, and, really something of a genius. If you're looking for a sense of enjoyment, you'll find plenty in this as there are endless and nonstop humor to keep your funny bone and entertainment bone tickled throughout without a single break. That, of course, depends if you want to stop halfway through. Then you can relief yourself from the stress (or enjoyment) caused by all of that tickling by the feather which is the movie itself.I know it sounds cliché and childish; most of us would prefer some goddamn, selfish anime compared to this crown jewel of an animation and a stop motion movie. But it is genuinely perfect (Seeing how well the plot, visuals, characters and incidents and events and tricks connect with each other.) and perhaps can be like nothing you've seen be- fur. Go for it, you won't be disappointed. Give this jewel a go and you will understand how it differs from bloody anime, or Familiar Disney.Call me an Aardman fan now.

brchthethird If only more animated films were as creative and entertaining as this! Believe it or not, despite being aware of them for a long time, this is the first Aardman feature I've ever seen. The plot for SHAUN THE SHEEP is a very simple one: Bored with the routine at the farm, Shaun and his friends trick the Farmer into having the day off (kind of), but he gets lost in the big city and Shaun & Co must go find and rescue their beloved owner. I suppose the first thing you should know is that this movie has no intelligible dialogue whatsoever, making it kind of a silent film. People who rely heavily on speaking and exposition to guide them through a story may find this irksome, but I thought it worked rather well. The pacing is really good and there's always a gag of some sort to make you laugh. Of course, Aardman aren't above toilet humor, and those handful of gags were probably the reason for the PG rating. Aside from being a funny film that will appeal to children and adults, though, it works in some subtle commentary on our technology and social media-obsessed society. After the Farmer gets a knock on the head and temporarily loses his memory in the Big City, he inadvertently becomes an internet sensation by giving people haircuts in the style he used on his sheep. There's also plenty of other visual cues, as nearly everyone in the city is on a mobile device of some kind. While not really delivering a message, per se, it would be hard not to come away from this with the feeling that maybe we've lost ourselves in the hustle and bustle of modern life and need to occasionally unplug and enjoy the simpler pleasures of friends and family. So, the film is definitely on solid thematic ground. The only place where it falters a little bit is resorting to the usual action climax. It leads there naturally, but the plot had begun to lose a little bit of steam by that point. Fortunately, it never wore out its welcome, and concluded in heartwarming fashion. I should also mention that I loved the music, which included both original tunes (I think) and previously existing songs. There's even a couple of a movie references/homages for the film buffs in the audience. Overall, while not completely perfect, it's about as perfect as can be and is a refreshing reminder that there's still room in today's crowded, CGI animation-dominated landscape for lovingly crafted Claymation like this.

thesar-2 I dunno where to begin. Well, I can say I just love Wallace & Gromit and did like Chicken Run, additionally. As those both were highly creative, I believe this one took the subgenre to a whole new artistic level.There wasn't a scene that passed that I wasn't smiling, giggling or out- right laughing in addition to being in awe on how many gags, references or background jokes were in each frame. Take all that and realize this movie is almost completely without dialogue, you know you have masterminds here at work.Basically, Shaun the Sheep is bored with the normal farm routines and in attempt to take a PTO day, he inadvertently sets off a chain of events that binds together their "nemesis" (the dog,) and the other sheep to rescue their master back into normality. Top to bottom, this movie is breathtaking in its imagination. At first, I was kinda taken aback by the dog, who reminded me a little too much of the Gromit dog and thought that was unoriginal for these clever folks. I was painfully wrong and the only thing the two characters share is their species. Once I got past that and realized I was in error, I had no other problems with this and was mesmerized till the end.This is only my second 10/10 star review of 2015's movies and it's gonna be hard to decide between this and the other one (Spotlight) for best of the year. Definitely see this movie!
