Aardman's latest is slated for a UK release in March of next year - and I'd assume later here in the States!

bring it on!

Re: 'Shaun the Sheep - The Movie' (2015)

My toddler has been watching the episodes non-stop since he was about 6 months old. (I actually added it to our Netflix queue for me, but he started showing interest in it.) We are still waiting for season 3 to hit one of the streaming services. Curious that they went back to the season 1 design for Bitzer.

US release date is April 24th (2015)

and here's a longer new trailer - it looks really really funny.

I'm not as fond of Shaun as I am of other Aardman characters, but I'll support anything they put out.

I loved the first season of Shaun. But then they changed it up a bit and it wasn't as good. I'm all for more Aardman.

EDIT: Just saw the trailer. Could have done w/o the Pitbull music and probably better narration. Execs must really love that style of injecting the cool songs of the moment and a narration.

I'm just glad they had the balls to make a feature length movie with zero understandable dialog.

^ the first cut of 'Walking with Dinosaurs' was supposed to go out with no dialog - and look how that turned out - thankfully that version is on the 3D combo bluray pack.

Another super generic trailer. I really liked the show so I've hope w/ this even w/ the crap trailers.

The movie is fine, I saw it a few weeks ago overseas, but that trailer... just wow. It was obviously made to sell the movie, but the people that made it don't understand why people like Aardman movies.

There was a pop-style song in it, just to break up the silence of the movie I guess, but it fit. The only other song songs were during the credits.

watched this last night. I really really enjoyed, and yes a movie can keep your attention when there's not any real dialogue to speak of for it's 85 running time. The visual jokes fly left and right here.

Love the fact that Tim Wheeler (of the British band Ash) wrote a song for the movie.

Lame, none of our local AMC theaters are participating.

Saw it this morning, very entertaining, loved the fact there was no dialogue, so the performances had to really tell the story. Shaun has been a favorite character in our family for years. The side story about the Farmer becoming a celebrity hairstylist was very funny.
