Critics Consensus

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom combines snappy visual comedy and Aardman's endearingly handmade aesthetic to craft a charming, deceptively funny monster movie pastiche.

Audience Says

Shaun of the Sheep offers a Halloween treat with The Beast of Mossy Bottom, a delightful Aardman stop-motion film that aptly turns horror influences into family-friendly scares.

Beast of Mossy Bottom is a playfully genre-literate monster-movie pastiche, packed with sly horror references (the Psycho shower scene nod is gloriously silly) and crisply timed visual humour.

There’s a real genius to this kind of wordless storytelling. Aardman makes it look easy.

Few animated franchises have maintained quite this level of cheery consistency.

...there may be better movies released this year - there may not be a more purely joyful 80 minutes than what one finds in Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom.

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom may be a simple Halloween kids movie, but it’s a great simple Halloween kids movie.

It’s incredible to me that they keep making Shaun the Sheep without dialogue and it KEEPS being the right call. You don’t need it. The jokes land, the story is good. There was an even a brief unexpected Game of Thrones reference. I love this. I hope they keep making Shaun the Sheep movies.

This was so cute and wholesome 🥹🐑. I adored the cozy stop motion animation. I loved all the horror movie references 🔪🚿🧖‍♀️🎃 The warm autumnal setting was beautiful 🍂🍁 Music was great, too! Definitely my favorite Shaun the Sheep movie so far!! It would make a great double feature with Curse of the Wererabbit 📼
