Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom sees the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm looking forward to Halloween – until the clumsy Farmer trashes the Flock’s beloved pumpkin patch! When Shaun turns into mad scientist to help fix the problem, things rapidly spiral out of control… With The Farmer now missing and a wild beast roaming the woods of Mossingham, all the ingredients are in place for a monstrously fun family adventure. Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom is co-directed by the animation filmmakers Steve Cox (Shaun the Sheep: Adventures from Mossy Bottom & The Flight Before Christmas) & Matthew Walker (Shaun the Sheep: Adventures from Mossy Bottom, Lloyd of the Flies series). The screenplay is written by Mark Burton and Giles Pilbrow, based on characters by Nick Park. It’s produced by Richard Beek. Made by Aardman Animation in Bristol. (courtesy First Showing)
Oh the glorious bumbling fun of life in Shaun the Sheep’s world.
Granted he’s usually the one trying to set things straight but he has to do that against all kinds of inanity and hilarity and with a cast of characters that simply don’t get what’s going on.
It’s a recipe for fun at any time of the year but more so at Halloween when just about anything can happen!
Like weird beasts roaming the woods and poor pumpkins meeting their grinning doom at the hands of hastily-closed windows … it looks like a scary hoot and one to go to the cinema for even if you’re popcorn ends up mostly on the floor, not so much because of the scares but because of the body-shaking laughing that will no doubt seize you.
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom opens in cinemas Halloween 2026.
