What happens

Shaun the Sheep Movie is a 2015 stop motion animated comedy film written and directed by Mark Burton and Richard Starzak. It is based on the British television series Shaun the Sheep by Nick Park and Bob Baker, in turn a spin-off of the short film A Close Shave (1995). Starring the voices of Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes, and Omid Djalili, the film follows Shaun and his flock navigating the big city to save their amnesiac farmer, while an overzealous animal control worker pursues the group. Shaun the Sheep Movie premiered on 24 January 2015 at the Sundance Film Festival, and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2015 by StudioCanal. It grossed $106 million and received positive reviews from critics. It received nominations for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. It also garnered five nominations at the Annie Awards, including Best Animated Feature. A sequel, A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, was released in 2019, while a third film, Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, is due to be released on September 18, 2026.
