3) Shaun the Sheep Movie — From the studio that brought you Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run (Aardman Animations) comes Shaun the Sheep Movie. The film is based on the television series Shaun the Sheep and it features the clever, mischievous head of the flock, Shaun. One day he decides he needs a day off from all his labors on Mossy Bottom Farm and hatches a cunning plan that’ll help him get some rest. But his scheme go horribly awry and the next thing you know the entire flock ends up lost in the big city, chased by a nefarious worker from Animal Control who is determined to rid the city of sheep. Can Shaun save the flock and get everyone safely back to the farm? I’d say that the answer is probably never in doubt … there’s also no doubt that while Pixar and other computer animation styles have their plusses, nothing tops Aardman’s hand-made stop-motion animation for charm and ingenuity. Check Fandango for screens and times. (TH)
