Official trailer released for ‘Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom’
A new trailer has been released for the upcoming Aardman/StudioCanal/Sky/GKIDS stop-motion feature film sequel Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom.
The film marks the third feature-length outing for the internationally-beloved Aardman mascot Shaun (who first appeared in 1995’s Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave), following 2016’s Shaun the Sheep Movie and 2019’s Farmageddon: A Shaun the Sheep Movie. This entry sees Aardman partnered with Sky for UK distribution, GKIDS for US distribution and StudioCanal as global partner. The film will premiere theatrically as a Sky Original on 18 September.
SHAUN THE SHEEP: THE BEAST OF MOSSY BOTTOM sees the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm looking forward to Halloween – until the clumsy Farmer trashes the Flock’s beloved pumpkin patch! When Shaun turns MAD SCIENTIST to fix the problem, things rapidly spiral out of control… With The Farmer missing and a wild beast roaming the woods of Mossingham, all the ingredients are in place for a monstrously fun family adventure.
