Shaun the Sheep Movie

Three animated characters from the "Shaun the Sheep" series, Shaun the Sheep, Bitzer the dog, and a third mischievous animal, exit a building labeled "Animal Containment Unit" with listed opening times.

When Shaun decides to take the day off from Mossy Bottom Farm 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. It's up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home, setting the scene for a family movie that encompasses lots of thrills and a story that shows the importance of appreciating the people who matter the most.

Shaun the Sheep Movie is created by Aardman Animations, based in Bristol, United Kingdom. Founded in 1972 by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, the animation studio has produced some of the most memorable characters in stop-motion animation history, including the infamous Wallace & Gromit, the Chicken Run franchise, and more. Shaun the Sheep first appeared in 1995 as a character in the Wallace & Gromit film A Close Shave and now has starred in two feature films, six series, and several television specials.
