“Holly on Hollywood”
by Holly McClure
“Shaun The Sheep” is tired of his routine life on the farm and decides to take the day off. His plan gets complicated when the farmer goes missing, so Shaun and the flock set out on a wild adventure to find the farmer and return their farm to a place where everyone is happy again. Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes, Richard Webber and Kate Harbour star.
This old fashioned PG animated children’s story is unusual in that it tells an 84-minute story without a single word of dialogue.
It has lots of visual, cinematic elements as well as animals communicating with gestures and noises, a bit of singing, the human characters mostly mumble, there are amusing film tributes that have been added for the adults and there’s a fair amount of slapstick cartoon violence, all played for laughs with next to no sense of actual threat.
Shaun the Sheep is a triumph in Claymation storytelling but it does so with a slower pace than what audiences are used to these days. Although it is well done, it will most likely appeal to younger kids as there’s not a lot movie action for tweener-and-above children.
