Movie Review - Shaun the Sheep
Funny, charming animated feature that will entertain all ages and most species
Shaun the Sheep **** (out of 5) (PG) This animated adventure truly lives up to its billing as a treat for all ages. Or, exactly what you’d expect from the creators of the animated antics of Wallace & Gromit. Shaun decides life on the farm for their flock is too dull. Every day is just like the others. He decides they need an adventure. Unfortunately, things go wildly awry, forcing them into a covert foray into the Big City to rescue their beloved farmer. Many obstacles arise in a delightfully clever plot, showcased by utterly charming visuals. The artwork is first-rate, with plenty of non-scary action. No dialog needed, unlike the W & G ‘toons. Adults will enjoy the action as much as their little companions, with bonus laughs from a number of sight gags aimed their way.
This one’s the best full-family option of the summer. ‘Nuff said. (8/5/15)
