Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 1/13/16] | Steve Biodrowski @ Hollywood Gothique
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …its homage to silent film comedy (there is no dialogue, only sound affects, bleats and barks) means its stuffed full with gags old and new (watch for cat in a neck cone evoking Hannibal Lecter!)
- Carlos del Río @ El rincón de Carlos del Río [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Divertida e ingeniosa, pero no es lo mejor de la Aarmand.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: It’s a sporadically funny, constantly charming, but ultimately slight effort.
- Hugo Gomes @ Cinematograficamente Falando … [Portuguese]
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal

- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Amusingly sweet – it’s a wild and wooly adventure that’s shear fun for very young children…
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Shaun the Sheep is warm, clever, witty, hilarious, touching, sweet, cute. I could go on.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Believe me when I say adults will like Shaun the Sheep better than their children. Adults will smile more often, laugh harder, and enjoy the heck out of this quaint 85 minute ball of fluff.
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Excerpt: Aardman helps keep the stop motion animation tradition alive with a distinct blend of expertly choreographed cartoon slapstick and dry British silliness unlike anything else in the family film marketplace.
- Don Lewis @ Consequence of Sound
- James Marsh @ Twitch
- Excerpt: Aardman Studios return to the big screen in cracking form with another rip-roaring roller coaster of action, smart humour and lovable characters. Shaun The Sheep Movie promises to delight fans of all ages, and long-time aficionados of the studio’s signature claymation style can rest assured they have not lost their magic touch.
- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth [German]
- Excerpt: A lovely piece of animated slapstick that truly warrants the epithet “Fun for the whole family”.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Matthew McKernan @ FilmWhinge
- Excerpt: A higher hit rate than most comedies.
- Jared Mobarak @ Jared Mobarak Reviews
- Excerpt: Like it or love it, though, you must admire the dedication to its own tone and aesthetic despite everyone else trying so hard to defeat the competition through homogeneity. Sometimes an ingenious anthropomorphic animal hammily besting those around him is exactly what the doctor ordered.
- Paulo Peralta @ CinEuphoria [Portuguese]
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: A delightful feature-length expansion of the popular UK TV show, Shaun the Sheep Movie might be primarily targeted to younger audiences but it has plenty to offer adults, too. Amiable and good-natured throughout, but still retaining its own unique brand of offbeat humor, this should be a hit with all ages.
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: A bleating delight, right down through the closing credits.
