Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas (2021)



Genre: Animation, Comedy, Family
Stars: Justin Fletcher, Kate Harbour
Directed by: Steve Cox
Shaun the Sheep and the adorable animals of Mossy Bottom Farm are at it again in this animated feature based on Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park’s stop-motion universe of colourful characters who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. This time around, Shaun’s attempts to snag a bigger stocking for his barnyard buddies set off a chain of events that sends them on a winter adventure to rescue one of their own — an adventure that, of course, happens to involve a sleigh and a few other holiday essentials. Shaun’s adventures always find a way to be entertaining for all ages, and this one’s no exception.
