“It’s a race against time to save Halloween!” Aardman Animation & Studiocanal have revealed another new official trailer for the next Shaun the Sheep movie hitting theaters in the US & UK this September. It’s going to be so much fun! Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom is a Halloween-themed stop-motion animated movie 🎃 coming up to watch on the big screen. The film is the third stop motion animated feature film from Aardman’s globally loved brand of woolly adventures: following Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015) and the first sequel A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019) – along with other short films & series based on Shaun as well. Beast of Mossy Bottom is about what happens when The Farmer’s pumpkin patch is trashed & Shaun tries to help figure out how to fix it in time for Halloween. “All the ingredients are in place for a monstrously fun family adventure.” Featuring the scary “wild beast” of Mossingham wreaking havoc until Shaun and his flock can figure out how to stop him. Aardman’s movies are always so delightfully amusing and full of superbly creative humor and shenanigans. Looking forward to watching this in the fall.
Here’s the new US trailer for Aardman’s Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, on YouTube:
