A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019)

Im a 38 year old male from England, i grew up with the Wallace & Gromit films and loved them, even creature comforts before that. I have a 10 year old son who ive watched all the shaun the sheep programmes with and we both really enjoy them as it has elements of humor for both our age groups. However this film is lacking any sort of humor aimed for the mums and dads, its purely aimed at children which made it very boring to watch. My son enjoyed it he was laughing at parts but i found the jokes predictable and out of date. My 6 year old daughter fell asleep in the cinema and my eyes were going in parts. What a let down.

Fmovies: Even though it's nowhere near as good as its predecessor, 'A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019)' is still an entertaining effort from Aardman, who remain one of the foremost animation studios. As you'd expect, it's drenched in charm. It's not particularly funny, though. Don't get me wrong, it's amusing and often chuckle-worthy. It's just that there weren't many - if any - really big laughs, which were frequent in the first flick. Still, it has oodles of charm, as I mentioned, and is a terrifically tactile affair, the stop-motion being propelled by a slightly 'home-grown' feel that's accentuated by its slight imperfections (fingerprints, for example). The craft on display here is actually amazing. It's most obvious in the animation but it also extends to the writing. It's essentially a silent movie, one that transcends all boundaries of language and, even, age. The fact that it manages to tell a full story, packed with character arcs and backstories, without dialogue is a huge achievement. It's not just about the gags, it's about the heart. Of course, its broad narrative is rather obvious if you stop to think about it. Nevertheless, it's great fun. It does skew slightly young with its humour, but a surprising number of its more childish gags still hit rather hard and it's packed with referential, pun-based detail destined to delight any sci-fi fan. It isn't complicated, but it's enjoyable. You'll probably be smiling all the way through. I do think its 'supporting sheep', so to speak, are a little short-changed as they're mostly relegated to a side-plot. Still, a bit of wholesome entertainment can go a long way; this goes to outer-space. 7/10

Stop-motion animation.

This is a 'Shaun the Sheep' sequel, where a young alien lands on earth and is trying to get back home to his parents in the style of ET. Shaun befriends the alien and a strong bond develops, of course the pair have lots of silly antics.

This is distinctively executed, you'll appreciate the time, effort and care that's gone into this impeccably crafted follow-up, you can even see the fingerprints in the clay on the close-up shots.

Aimed at all ages with gags for kids and many movie references for adults. Any nationality can enjoy this as well as no words are spoken throughout, just 'baby noises'. However I'd describe the humour as 'British', a non-British audience might not get all the gags. EXCELLENT.

A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon fmovies. I enjoyed the first shaun the sheep movie. So I had high hopes for this one and I was not disappointed. It is another charming funny film from aardman and it is awsome. Stay till the mid credit scene.

The farmyard gets a close encounter of the third kind.

I was going to say 'herd kind' but that would have been a terrible pun and not very accurate. This film is worth much more than that.

Without any dialogue as such, just like the first Shaun the Sheep movie, this film tells a perfectly understandable story with wit and skill. It really is beautifully crafted. The gag count is high from beginning to end and everyone from your three-year-old nephew to your deaf granddad will be thoroughly entertained. Even the end titles are worth watching through.

The humour is mostly physical slap-stick. Smart sheep, hapless humans, perilous pizza.

I like the pizza.

I can't understand the other reviewer: Our 5 and a half year old and we ourselves laughed our a**es off in the cinema. It was such a great work, as ever with Aardman. Even the new logo is over the top great stuff and you can see in every (!) scene the love these guys have for their work. And much work it is, of course. All the cool hints to other movies (E.T. and Close encounters of the Third Kind) and series (The X Files) are so cool and make it even more worthwile for us adults, watching along with our kids. As with every Aardman movie or series: Great stuff, keep it coming, please! We love your work immensely!
