The brilliant animation wizards at Aardman strike again with A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, a thoroughly delightful and hilarious new feature outing with Shaun the Sheep and all his friends …
, a thoroughly delightful and hilarious new feature outing with Shaun the Sheep and all his friends at Mossy Bottom Farm, this time in a comical, slapstick-style takeoff on just about every alien and Spielberg movie you have ever seen. In fact, directors Will Becher and Richard Phelan and writer Jon Brown seem obsessed with movie references throughout, making note of everything fromE.T.
clearly a heavy influence on the plot, which revolves around a mysterious alien spaceship showing up around the farm, and the discovery later of a cute blue alien, kind of dog-like in appearance, named Lu-La, who is left behind and longs to return home to her planet and parents.
Things get dangerous when the Ministry of Alien Detection shows up, led by Agent Red, who has her own reasons for finding Lu-La and studying the creature. But this gang doesn’t make it easy for her .
The real charm, as in past films Aardman has turned out in this series, is the lack of coherent dialogue, which is swapped with amusing noises from the the various characters instead. It proves to be lots of fun, although as a follow-up to 2015’sit isn’t quite as inventive or genuinely original, instead relying on undeniably funny but more predictable movie parodies. Still, this is all just as irresistible as it ever was.
This film was released several months ago in the UK and landed a well-deserved BAFTA nomination for animated feature. On North American shores, however, it will be streaming on Netflix beginning Friday, making it even easier to see. And it is well worth a visit.
