4/5

The storytelling is tight, but of course the real attraction is the whirr of clever sight gags and witty little curlicues that hit the screen roughly every three seconds.

5/5

All of this is realised in the signature Aardman style that somehow looks simultaneously like years of impossibly intricate craftsmanship and a primary school art project.

“Mossy Bottom” is, theoretically, a horror film. It pays homage to legends of Bigfoot as well as an array of classic cinema sources.

A-

Aardman Animations continues to be one of the powerhouses of animation and their latest work only adds more evidence of what happens when creative geniuses decide they don’t need modern technology to produce cinematic magic.

With just enough references to keep viewers engaged but not so many as to be overbearing, the film puts its well-worn characters to good use once again, delivering a Halloween season story that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Hilarious, heartfelt, and a terrific dose of age-appropriate nods to classic horror, Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom is a charmingly winning film.

jolly good show! a movie with no speaking lines carried by every animal's expression is glad to see! stopmotion plus miniature props are an excellent combo in this day and age! i hope gkids acquires studiocanal from now on in the USA. though why didn't shaun go after the bottle after accidentally dropping it? and how did the sheep move from the alleyway to the garbage pile? how did the sheep move the pumpkins in the tower? and how did the team know what crate to pick? and where did the ship mates go? and where's the town sheriff?! THE TOWN MAYOR!???

Wonderful Aardman feature film. Stop motion at its finest. Great references that adults will love and plenty of fun for children for Halloween. A great success to celebrate Aardman's 50th anniversary! A must see for all those who love Aardman and Shaun the Sheep.

Overrated. Poor pacing, weak humor. Charming, but pretty lifeless.
