That was an excellent one.
Pretty Good
Blistering performances.
The acting in this movie is really good.
That is the awesomest project Aardman Animations needed.Just like one of Aardman's projects, the stop-motion animation is full of colour, imagination, vibrancy and creativity thanks to our pals at Aardman Animations. Very well done.The voice acting is full of gibber, gibber, gibber...that's all I can say.The music will make you dance-craze like a goofy person. At least we have the theme song and it's remix! The visual effects are MIND-BLOWING indeed. The effects are very dazzling for a movie in United Kingdom. The characters are goofy, silly and well characterized, and the gags could make you 'tickle your funny bone!'.I have seen that sheep and his goofy flock on 'Boomerang' (Cartoon Network 2? That was the channel has converted to!). That sheep and his flock is funny, goony, silly, wacky, and crazy.The custom variation of AARDMAN is very funny (especially the 'Admaran' part!) to look at.In conclusion, I will 100% recommended the film and the TV series. It's goofy, funny and the 100% best Aardman project of all time.SCORE: 100% A+
After a scene stealing cameo in the Wallace and Gromit adventure 'A Close Shave' and his own successful TV series, it was no surprise that Aardman decided to spin little Shaun off into his own feature length film.And the results, by and large are worth the effort. Taking inspiration from famous silent movie comedians like Buster Keaton the film is a solid piece of silent family entertainment.Does the film feel a bit dragged out despite its short running time? Yes. Does the idea of the sheep disguising themselves as humans lose its appeal early on? Yes again. The ending also is a little too similar to Toy Story 3 for my liking too.However, these points aside this film is a fun family film that again shows what Aardman are good at.
When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for. A mix up with the Farmer, a caravan and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City and it is up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home.This film is the perfect example to illustrate the difference between an Oscar nomination and an Oscar win. In most categories, getting a nomination is an honor in itself, whether you win or not. Each year, thousands of actors appear on the big screen, but only five of them will get a nomination. This is decidedly different in the animation category: while many cartoons are made each year, only about ten could conceivably be Oscar contenders. So the odds are 50/50, no better than chance.There is no doubt this film will get the nomination. Besides being a fun and enjoyable film, it is one that has to be respected. How many people are doing stop motion these days? Not many, but Aardman keeps at it and actually improves the art form. This is easily their best work yet, eclipsing "Wallace and Gromit" or "Chicken Run". You might not be surprised to learn that this took animators six years to complete, as compared to the one year or less most movies take.And we have over an hour of jokes and plot pulled off with no dialogue whatsoever beyond some grunts and gibberish. This could be dismissed as a gimmick, but it makes sense and never comes off as one. This decision effectively puts us in the world of the sheep (and other animals) and not the world of humans, who are really the secondary characters.So why is this not a winner? Because it has no impact. It is the perfect diversion for an hour or more and is entertaining for children and adults alike (or child-like adults). But it is not the sort of film that will keep you talking or bring out an emotional response. And that is what is needed to push a film from good to great.In short, expect this one to get an Oscar nomination, but almost no chance whatever that it will take home the win. It would have to defeat front-runner "Inside Out", which seems unlikely, as well as the presumed runner-up "Anomalisa". I just do not see that happening.
Im from Argentina and i grow up with the series and when Shaun the Sheep Movie was released i was very excited. I saw the movie with my family, my twin brother already knew the series, my parents didn't know what it was and my big brother didn't know of the plot of the film, he had only seen the teaser in the cinema. In the cinema it was me, my family, a couple and another person in the background, and we laugh a lot! and after the movie ended all my family was with very positive results, most of my family believes it is excellent except my big brother who said it is good. Shaun the Sheep Movie is a movie for everybody and is another excellent and funny film from part of Aardman Animations. Yes, the story is simple but don't remember that the best animated films have simple stories?, Kung Fu Panda has a story simple, Ice Age has a story simple, Oscar winning Inside Out has a story simple and that's what great about Shaun the Sheep Movie, it has a simple story that can be followed during the 85 minutes of the film. I am also happy that there are no dialogue's because that respects the essence of the series that don't have dialogue's. I also love the characters, The relationship of Shaun and The Farmer is very solid, Trumper is a great villain, The Flock is also funny, all the characters are great. The animation Stop Motion is also great and the sets are amazing. Although didn't win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature I'm very happy that they have nominated, no matter what Inside Out is better, Shaun the Sheep Movie is officially the best animated feature of 2015. Its very funny, is cute, is emotional, it has a great soundtrack, it has great characters, in my opinion it is a masterpiece.10/10
