FILM: Shaun The Sheep Movie (dir: Mark Burton, 2015)

"Have a.....Day off!"

The expansion of the Shaun The Sheep TV show to movie length is surprisingly successful, and it does not deviate from the very gentle tone, the warmth and the well-delivered visual gags of its original short format.  The film is very much aimed at the youngest cinemagoers, but the hit-rate of gags is high for a near-silent full-length movie and the typical charm and attention to detail of Aardman is evident in abundance. Whilst the Shaun The Sheep movie is hardly an earth-shattering experience, it is nevertheless very pleasant and enjoyable to watch.
