'Shaun the Sheep Movie' is pretty good. The stop-motion animation side of things is expectedly brilliant, though it's the humour that is most impressive about this film - it's nothing hilarious, but a lot of the gags are amusing. It also has a fairly endearing feel to it. I watched some episodes of the television series growing up and do recall enjoying them, so I had a feeling I'd like this too.

I was never really into Shaun the Sheep when I was kid and I also didn't enjoy this movie as much as I would if I was. I probably had the same problem with this film as I had with minions. It isn't bad idea but it's too much minutes for too little words. Shaun the Sheep is great idea but much more enjoyable when it's in seven minutes instead of 85. I think that story had too slow tempo for how long it was and I also felt like I already saw it because the story wasn't really original when it comes to it and also gags in this movie weren't really that funny. I think that even 5-years-old are already full of this same kind of jokes. I personally enjoyed "emotional part" of this movie more, than I enjoyed the "funny part". On the other hand I really loved animation and soundtrack of this film which was truly briliant and one of the factors why I had energy to finish this movie because without it I wouldn't do that and for me, the last 15 minutes of this movie was the best part. The idea was great but they should have worked on it more.

Genius! Genius! Genius! Genius! Genius! Genius!

_Shaun the Sheep Movie_ is undoubtedly one of the least successful feature films from the incredible Aardman Animations studio. A story that is not particularly original, with a faltering pace and unremarkable characters (despite coming from the now classic onomima animated series). Nevertheless, it is difficult, if not impossible, not to be enchanted by the care and attention devoted to the creators' unique stop motion. All in all, the film will manage to bring at least a smile to your face, and although it is not a masterpiece comparable to others produced by the same studio, it is a great way to spend an enjoyable evening.

Yeah... I don't think I dig Shaun the Sheep as much anymore. I still admire the visual storytelling though, and the stop motion is amazing. The humor is mostly also not bad and made me chuckle, but as a movie it didn't work out, at least for me Shaun the Sheep is better off as small TV episodes you can watch once in a while. Having it in the length of an entire movie was tiring and partly boring. 5.5/10
