A Simply Charming Movie

Shaun the sheep is one of the most simple movies I've ever seen in my life, but I think that it really works to its advantage. Created by the same guys who did Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the sheep is the new claymation movie based on the hit TV show in Britain by the same name. The story is really simple as it's about the farm sheep and the dog Bitzer, led by Shaun the Sheep, who are trying to find their owner who got lost in the big city. One important things to know going in to it is that none of the characters have any dialogue whatsoever, including the human characters, who can only talk through mumbling. But because of the way that they were able to express their emotions, it really works well to its advantage. As you might expect from Aardman Animations, this is a really funny movie as it has some really clever gags and physical humor throughout the whole film. With that said, this is not a film that's going to break any new ground, as it's supposed to be a really simple movie. It's not anything great by any means, but I don't think it needs to be as it has a lot of charm that could carry the whole movie. This is a movie I could easily see a lot of people enjoying and have a good time with it as much as I did. Shaun the Sheep is definitely worth checking out.
