Shaun the Sheep might look like an exciting, no-nonsense tale for little kids — and it totally is, on one level — but beneath its pitch-perfect simplicity lies great wisdom and beauty.

Valoración:
This is the best movie I have ever watched in my life. The main character Shaun is so wacky and charming. If I were a sheep I would date Shaun he is such a handsome and charming man. I honestly am jealous of Timmy the sheep for being so close to that sexy sheep. God if I could get a sniff of that wool or maybe even a grasp at his hooves. I feel the same way with Wallace and Gromit that dog and cheese man god lucky **** they are.
As with other Aardman productions, the greatest delights derive from relishing the details of the clay figures and intricate sets, crafted by the studio’s master model builders.
Co-director Starzack was one of the guiding hands behind the series version of Shaun the Sheep, and that experience in the kind of brisk, skit-based comedy that makes the series so charming shows through here in stand-alone scenes.
I rarely give movies a 10 star rating, but this film is perfect. First and foremost, it's hilarious. There are many laugh out loud moments. The movie relies mostly on sight gags as there is no dialogue. Anyone who has watched the first 30 minutes of Pixar's "Wall-E" knows that dialogue is not needed for an excellent experience. Aardman's stop-motion animation is second to none and is dazzling. Even the low-brow humor (fart jokes, etc.) works in this movie, where in other animated films it feels tiresome and dated. I hope there is a sequel someday.
With a warm spirit and a mound of enjoyable (and truly funny) jokes that will surely make laugh any kind of viewer, Shaun the Sheep is another must-see welcome and unforgettable addition to Aardman's filmography.
This movie was something totally unexpected to me. When I first started watching, I thought a movie for kids would bore me dead. The absence of spoken dialogue was something I had not seen in a feature film for a long time, at least since the last time I watched a silent movie. But I didn't get annoyed, on the contrary. I thought it has its own beauty and it's funny, even though it's not the kind of movie I see every day.
We do not have a fixed plot. The story told is very light and gives space for the several jokes and humour moments that they wanted to create in the middle. In essence, the film tells how a flock of funny sheep tries to find their farmer, missing for days in the middle of the big city and suffering from amnesia. Of course, there is a villain, who is the city's animal control agent (we've seen something like that in other animal movies in town).
This is a stop-motion animated film... nothing more, nothing less than the most laborious and arduous technique for making animated films. Aardman still uses it regularly, probably being the latest animation studio to do so, and is adept at this technique, so it should not be surprising if I say that the whole film is technically impeccable. Even the soundtrack worked very well. As I already mentioned, I was very surprised at the decision not to use spoken dialogue. But it even made sense, because it puts human beings at the margins of history to give space to animals.
The film earned the Oscar nomination in its respective category ("Best Animated Film"), but never went beyond that. Despite this, and the film seems to have been quickly forgotten by the public, it did deserve it. It's not brilliant nor remarkable, it's perfectly forgettable due to the absence of an impact script... but it's a technical feat and it's funny.
