Film Review - Shaun the Sheep (2015)

Shaun the Sheep is based off of the Aardman series and sees Shaun on the farm going through his daily schedule until one day he sees a Bus ad saying "Have a Day Off" so he decides to plan a Day Off but it all goes wrong and his owner finds himself in the Big City which leaves Shaun with the task of having to rescue him.

I'm gonna cut to the chase here and say that I was not a huge fan of this film personally speaking but before I delve into that I want to talk about what I did like and that is the stop motion animation which is very good to look at here and some of the gags of the film which were funny though probably not in the same way that Minions just made me laugh out loud.

But besides that personally speaking I wasn't all that engaged with it and I think the main reason is that to my mind I felt like it was primarily enjoyed by very young children (I had a similar reaction to Pitch Perfect 2 when that opened in terms of not enjoying it though that films target audience would) and as a result well as I said above I wasn't all that engaged with it.

And so that was my review of Shaun the Sheep, those familiar with the TV series or with young kids will enjoy it but I personally didn't, 2 out of 5.
