I knew nothing about Shaun the Sheep going into this movie, but if the reactions of my six and four year olds were any indication, this film is a hit.
It's pretty remarkable that the filmmakers could create a movie that retains the interest of its audience, many of them small children, no less, without a word of dialogue being spoken. It's a cute and cheeky film, and if you like Wallace and Gromit, you will like this. It's got that unique brand of British humor that you either take to or not, but either way you'd have to be pretty determined not to have a good time to watch this movie without a smile breaking out on your face at least a couple of times.
Grade: B+
