This is the third in Aardman\u2019s thoroughly enjoyable and cleverly written Shaun the Sheep stop-motion franchise of what are effectively silent movies, with a few intelligible words. It is the story of gutsy and heroic sheep involved in amazing adventures in the sleepy village of Mossy Bottom, starring characters who first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2026\/jul\/15\/a-close-shavea-matter-of-loaf-and-death-review-wallace-and-gromit-knit-together-a-cracking-double-bill\">Wallace and Gromit short film A Close Shave<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This one is another excellent family film, crammed as ever with top visual gags, great throwaway references and, of course, a homemade Heath Robinson contraption, so often to be found in Aardman films. We get nods to The Archers, The Wombles and The Simpsons; there\u2019s a wacky chase worthy of What\u2019s Up, Doc?; a homage to the notorious waxing scene from Judd Apatow\u2019s The 40-Year-Old Virgin; and even what appears to be a brief visual walk-on for George Bernard Shaw as Bigfoot. As ever with Shaun the Sheep and Aardman Animations generally, the standard of writing is extremely high and the script here, from Mark Burton and Giles Pilbrow, sparkles with good-natured fun. One high-street hairdressing salon in the wool-producing district where it\u2019s set is called Barber Black Sheep \u2013 and if no real-life shop has stolen this joke yet, they ought to.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2026\/sep\/13\/shaun-the-sheep-the-beast-of-mossy-bottom-review-aardman\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2026\/sep\/13\/shaun-the-sheep-the-beast-of-mossy-bottom-review-aardman\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\">Read More<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/3fa9cebb392048db5203664fcabbb1c911e7f258\/592_0_3600_2883\/master\/3600.jpg?width=140&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=b6f17c3d347ff0a008c25635fcc97c61\" title=\"Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom review \u2013 Aardman\u2019s spooky-season caper sparkles with fun\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s trouble afoot when Shaun\u2019s pumpkin-supersizing serum ends up in a balding farmer\u2019s hair growth bottle in this third cinematic adventure Summer is over and Halloween is on the way \u2026 not for a fair bit, of course, but if all the UK\u2019s Halloween merch and continuing pop culture content is up to the standard&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
