映画 ひつじのショーン 〜バック・トゥ・ザ・ホーム〜

> Losing that you love makes you realise its value. The only reason to I go to Nick is to watch 'Shaun the Sheep'. This show was watched by many adults as well, a popular one among all the ages. As the fan of this series, we have been waiting very long to get a movie version. I was excited to see it and of course enjoyed it completely. Its impossible one to get disappointed with the movie/show when the narration is led by one of the awesome characters, Shaun. The promotional posters were also created some extra curiosity that imitated the famous Hollywood films like 'Boyhood', 'Wild', 'Birdman' and many others. Stop-motion is a very-very hard and outdated concept of the animation format, but still loved by many. Every year only one or two get released, sometimes none. The technical sides were upgraded, including bluescreens for backgrounds and other special effects. Still the hard work remains, but qualities are improved. It made significant contributions to the live-shot movies in the old days when there was no CGI. So when we see a movie like this, the product reveals in each and every frames the real vision from the artist and writer's perspective. Every detail, every corner of the screen tells the story. It was so good as a television show, because of short and sweetness. The filmmaker intended to create the same magic, except the credits its just a below 80 minute movie. Had a good storyline and a couple of new characters were introduced. Because the new adventure extended its area volume and so the antagonist was needed. Shaun and his buddies set foot outside their barn to find their lost farmer. The journey begins towards the big city and the movie discloses their risky and dangerous undertaking. They go pass lots of stages to accomplish their quest and only the last quarter reveals result with a thrilling chase scene. Unlike the series, it was not completely a fun movie. There are some emotions involved, and I was amazed by those exhibitions. Because of some kind of childhood connection between Shaun and Co and their owner. That was unexpected, but was really very nice to see the other side of them. We know Shaun is a curious character, he always wants to learn and try new things. So when he has to make an unexpected decision, it does not go as planned and the fun begins with their mischievous adventure in an unfamiliar territory. As usual without the dialogues, that can be understandable by everyone without a language barrier. A true family movie, from grandparents to grandchildren together watchable flick. Almost a masterpiece, offers a lot of great moments to give ourselves to it. And for the fans its a celebration time for sure. Definitely this movie would get into the final shortlist for the upcoming (2016) Oscars, if not, that would be a shame for the entire ceremony. But for winning, we have to wait till how good 'The Good Dinosaur' going to be. In the meantime, don't miss this little cute flick. 8½/10

I was never really into Shaun the Sheep when I was kid and I also didn't enjoy this movie as much as I would if I was. I probably had the same problem with this film as I had with Minions. It isn't bad idea but it's too much minutes for too little words. Shaun the Sheep is great idea but much more enjoyable when it's in seven minutes instead of 85. I think that story had too slow tempo for how long it was and I also felt like I already saw it because the story wasn't really original when it comes to it and also gags in this movie weren't really that funny. I think that even 5-years-old are already full of this same kind of jokes. I personally enjoyed "emotional part" of this movie more, than I enjoyed the "funny part". On the other hand I really loved animation and soundtrack of this film which was truly briliant and one of the factors why I had energy to finish this movie because without it I wouldn't do that and for me, the last 15 minutes of this movie was the best part. The idea was great but they should have worked on it more.

'Shaun the Sheep Movie' is the spin-off feature film of a spin-off television series of 'Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers'. Boasting the same crew that brought us 'Chicken Run' and 'Wallace and Gromit', it promised a lot. The film is made by the Aardman production company and so boasts a pleasant stop-start animation style. This "old-school" way of creating a cartoon is refreshing in the modern world of overused computer imagery and 3D effects. There is no dialogue whatsoever in this film and so it feels like watching an old cartoon such as 'Tom and Jerry'. There are subtle nods to other television shows and films such as 'Breaking Bad', 'Hannibal' and 'Taxi Driver' so the parents are kept amused at times. The story is very easy to follow due to the characters very expressive faces and directions which, being a children's film, make it a lot more simple and universal. Overall, 'Shaun the Sheep Movie' is a good film for children. It has very cute characters and the animation is very fun. However, it doesn't have much for any other demographic unlike the company's previous work. But, saying that, it is an inoffensive and enjoyable film. ★★★

<em>'Shaun the Sheep Movie'</em> is pretty good. The stop-motion animation side of things is expectedly brilliant, though it's the humour that is most impressive about this film - it's nothing hilarious, but a lot of the gags are amusing. It also has a fairly endearing feel to it. I watched some episodes of the television series growing up and do recall enjoying them, so I had a feeling I'd like this too.

Right from the poor rooster trying to stay in shot at the start, this comedy adventure is riddled with subtle and detailed humour to complement the entertaining story that sees the eponymous sheep decide he needs a day off from the farm. He and his flock-mates go a-frolicking in the field and that's when disaster strikes. The farmer's caravan becomes unstuck and is soon a lethal missile travelling at great speed towards the big city - and there's nothing "Shaun" can do about it! Desperate, he concludes that he must board a bus and follow it. He sneaks aboard and makes it to the bus station, only to find the animal/pest control fella "Trumper" on alert! He might just be able to avoid him by himself, but when the next bus arrives replete with all his pals, it now becomes just as imperative that they avoid capture as it does that they find the farmer. Meantime, that poor gent is languishing in an hospital ward without the faintest clue whom or where he is! Now they must use all of their guile and a slew of disguises - even quite a provocative one - to get everyone back home safely. What ensues now is a series of genuinely quite funny scenarios with "Bitzer' the dog helping out as they must reunite with their erstwhile master and see if they can't jog his memory - ideally before his haircut craze takes off too completely. The standard of animation from Aardman is always great but they sometime struggle with full length screenplays. Not so here. This is a cleverly constructed piece of cinema with loads going on, a bit of slap-stick and an almost familial message of looking out for each other. There's not a great deal of dialogue, most of this is just left to the characters and our imagination and I think that worked well. I'm not sure "Shaun" will be taking any more days off anytime soon, though!
