What it is about

Aardman Animations’ beloved animated series is back for another delightful adventure! The residents of Mossy Bottom Farm have been looking forward to Halloween – until the clumsy Farmer trashes the Flock’s beloved pumpkin patch! When Shaun channels his inner 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.

What to expect

Aardman’s latest Shaun the Sheep feature sends the flock into a Halloween mishap after the Farmer wrecks their pumpkin patch. Shaun’s attempt at a fix goes wrong, leaving the Farmer missing and something large moving through the woods. As with the series, the 91-minute movie is dialogue‑free — the storytelling runs on claymation sight gags, daft slapstick, and the kind of character faces that do all the talking. The spooky bits are mild and played for laughs, so it lands closer to a comedy with cobwebs than anything genuinely frightening. This is a single festival screening at anifest動画藝術祭2026: Saturday 19 September, 3:15pm at MMCP. The programme includes the 6‑minute short Silly Rhapsody. English soundtrack, no subtitles — but with no spoken dialogue, that’s a non‑issue for any audience.

What viewers said

When the sozzled farmer turns the pumpkin patch into something resembling the Somme, and with Halloween barely days away, "Shaun" comes up with a cunning wheeze. Using his recently discovered science book, he is going to make a formula that will restore them to their bright orange rotundity. Snag? Well he shoves his magical serum into a hair-growing tube and the blind farmer tries it in the hope that it will restore his locks and thereby improve his luck with the local vet. […]
