Review of Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015) by Frank A — 28 Mar 2018
Whew, when I say "excellent', I mean excellent. What a feel-good movie, full of comedic moments that both children and adults will love. What many people are not aware of is the huge amount of work that goes into a production such as this.
The movie is accomplished by filming real objects a frame at a time, moving things a tiny bit, proceeding to the next frame, exposing the next frame, and so on. When the reel is run, you get the illusion of motion.
It is called stop motion animation. The old Gumby cartoons were done this way. The beauty of Shaun the Sheep Movie is how expertly the animation is done, and the absolute genius of character expression, smooth movement, gesture and a great story-line.
Funny, funny, really funny... slapstick. Pure genius. Children will be in an uproar of laughter, adults will chuckle out loud. Children will remember this movie for the rest of their lives, hands down.
If you're hedging about getting this movie, just go ahead and do it, even if you're an adult or teen. You'll like it, even love it.
