Aardman Shaun the Sheep film production

Overview

Aardman Animation and Studiocanal are producing ‘Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom’, a stop-motion comedy horror feature film. The project evolved from an initial concept for a Valentine’s Day special into a Halloween-themed adventure.

The production involves a large-scale operation with approximately 170 crew members and 47 simultaneous units. The film utilizes traditional stop-motion techniques, consisting of 1,289 shots. The plot follows Shaun as he attempts to use science to improve the farm’s pumpkin crop and the farmer’s romantic life, resulting in chaos and a mysterious beast roaming the woods.

A trailer for the film has been released, with theatrical releases scheduled for the US and UK in September.
