Shaun the Sheep Movie

CHASE ***
"Shaun the Sheep Movie" is one of the simplest movies you'll ever see, but that simplicity really works to its advantage.  Created by the same guys who made "Wallace and Gromit," "Shaun the Sheep Movie" is a new claymation movie based on the hit TV show in Britain by the same name.  The story is about the farm sheep and the dog Bitzer, led by Shaun the Sheep, who are trying to find their owner who is lost in the big city.  One important thing to know going in to the movie is that none of the characters have any dialogue whatsoever, including the human characters, who can only communicate through mumbling.  But because of the way that they are able to express their emotions, this really works well and ends up contributing to the film's charm.  As you might expect from Aardman Animations, this is a really funny movie with some really clever gags and physical humor throughout.  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 great by any means, but it didn't need to be as it has a lot of charm that carries the whole movie.  This is a movie that a lot of people can really enjoy.  "Shaun the Sheep Movie" is a lot of fun.
