    Shaun the Sheep Movie

    Reviewed by

    One of the funniest and entirely enjoyable movies of the summer from British Aardman Animation studio. The film features farm animals and all other creatures (including humans) in Claymation. You can almost detect the fingerprints. It's great to see an alternative film which was hand-made. Apparently, the artists were fortunate if there were at least 2 minutes of footage created following a week of concentrated work. This is not only a funfest for the kiddies, but there are a fast and furious amount of sophisticated (and otherwise) sight gags which will be over the heads of the kiddies. Noteable homages to classic films were made including Night of the Hunter, Cape Fear (that by Martin Scorcese) and Taxi Driver. One particularly amusing reference to Silence of the Lambs involved a snarling cat in an animal containment pen. Then, there was the cow jumping over the Moon ( a pub sign) Satirical references to British society included a scenario in which a sheep shearer became an instant celebrity hair stylist. All sort of shops and businesses were given trendy signs including a chichi restaurant/bistro and a coffee franchise called Grab a Cuppa. Many people on the street appeared with trendy hairdos, tatoos and intricate beards, and trendy clothing. The gags came at one at lightening speed and I for one will likely see the pic again. I loved it!
