I have seen the cartoon series of "Shaun the Sheep" before, as well as a story, and I like it very much. This time, a big movie will be made to tell a story in 85 minutes, and the location will be changed from the farm to the city. After all, the stories that can happen in the farm are not rich enough.

The story begins with the daily routine of getting up, scrubbing and grazing and going home at night. The lambs are tired of day after day, and Sean, who is attentive, begins to wonder how he can take a day off. This is a big project, and it is necessary to ensure that all aspects are foolproof, from the farmer to the puppy, it needs to be done, which requires the help of the ducks and their weaknesses. Lead the loyal dog away, hypnotize the farmer by the way the sheep jump over the railing, and put him in the trailer. When everything was perfect, the trailer suddenly slid away over the brake pegs and slid all the way into the city. The adventure story begins.

As an animated story, the logic of this movie is very meticulous, with the following points.
1. The farmer is good at shaving sheep, especially Sean's hairstyle, so after he lost his memory later, he saw that the barber's clipper relied on the inertial reflex of memory to shave the same hairstyle as the sheep. And red.
2. The star is very popular. If it weren't for his photos being widely shared, the farmer would not be famous, nor would he appear on the street with Mr.X's poster, otherwise it would be difficult for the lamb to find him.
3. Sean saw a stray dog ​​after getting out of the car, and they helped each other later.
Order should also be followed in the animation story.
1. Sean took the money from the piggy bank when he went out. When they went into the store, they took clothes to dress up as adults, and they didn't forget to pay when they went out.
2. The puppy chases the trailer. When encountering a red light, he has to wait until the green light is on before continuing to chase.
3. In the end, he dealt with the villain, and he did not throw him into a quarry or out of the galaxy like a gray wolf, but fell into a dung heap. , in line with the reality of the farm, but also makes people feel that it is enough to relieve hatred.

Several scenes were particularly impressive.
1. The trailer slid away and the puppy chased it desperately. Later, the farmer was admitted to the hospital, and he was waiting on the bench at the door because he was not allowed to enter. The latter two saw Sean being angry with him all the time. What a loyal puppy, and logically wouldn't save the world with Sean as soon as they met.
2. At first Sean thought it was all fun, whether it was taking a day off, running a trailer, taking the bus to the city, going to a restaurant, looking for a farmer, it was all part of the adventure. But when the amnesiac farmer turned into a hairdresser, and when he no longer knew him and was terrified, Sean was afraid. He was afraid that the farmer had changed subjectively. He realizes he's making a big deal out of it, he's disheartened, he thinks it's all his fault, it's his bad idea and he wants to take a day off.
3. The farmer regained his memory, and the scene he remembered was when he was young in the tracing photo, when the dogs and sheep were still cubs. He wants to protect them.
4. There is no dialogue in the whole process, and there are very few commentary texts. All of them are expressed by actions, expressions and soundtracks, but they can make people laugh along with sadness. There's a lot of laughs in the movie, and it's all just the right British humour, not a mess. It doesn't matter how fresh the cleaning is, it's the story with heart. In other words, how can an animation have a fresh plot? A good animation does not need dialogue to be enjoyable.
5. Children can understand, and adults will not feel naive with British humor.
There has never been a villain in Sean in 6 and 7 minutes. In order to support the 85-minute story, there must be a big villain, and this is a person who does not care for animals. This is really great, more than any high-tech villain. fit the theme.

Sean makes me very happy and will continue to support.
This film should have a lot to learn from the domestic animation. Especially for Pleasant Goat, which is also a sheep-themed animation, what should be done to make it a classic. One by one, new ones come out, don't always make old stalks, learn more to make progress. How to make an animation audience become more is also a question worth thinking about. I don't want my children to watch a lot of domestic films, let alone adults who don't want to watch them. It's hard to be disappointed.
All I can say is, go for it.

    A clay animation with almost no lines, but it is full of humor and the soundtrack is very interesting! The big and small ones inside are super funny...

    Simple but creative, seemingly young but not stupid at all. Audiences of all ages can see different points, and various small details cleverly increase the jokes and also make the whole movie full. The insubstantial dialogue in the whole film maximizes the visual laughter, which is a bit like a Tati movie. Adelman presents us with a very happy and interesting stop-motion animation adventure. [Actually there is a giant python terrier, coconut hahahahaha] 7.8 points ★★★★
