Shaun the Sheep Movie

This review may contain spoilers!

Once again I am shown how an old animation style can remain timeless. I would give Shaun the Sheep Movie an 8/10.

I think the really great thing about this film is the stop motion animation used, the attention to detail and the extent of the film really highlights how much of a task this film would have been to create. All I can say is that that work paid off in full, this was an incredible looking film. This film thrived in it's simplicity when it came down to the plot; the comedy was plentiful and yet at the bare bones of this film was some great moments of really touching dramatic plot. The music used within this film was another highlight, the balance of comedic use of songs with touching moments of soundtrack was really well done.

I don't have much to say in terms of voice cast as most of the film was governed by noises rather than actual dialogue. So while there was a voice cast I won't mention them, thought that isn't because their work added nothing to the film. In fact this consistent style of noise rather than spoken word or dialogue only served to enhance the feature.

This film was let down by it's predictability, you knew how the scenes were going to unfold and you could guess the ending from very early on. Due to this you never really felt like any character's were in peril and so the film really lacked a lot of tension.
