Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom
2026 · Variety
The third feature-length entry in Aardman's spinoff franchise maintains all the virtues of the previous two — energetic, ingenuous slapstick that doesn't outstay its welcome. While the tone may often feel blithely throwaway, the filmmaking is never careless. No one in live-action cinema, frankly, is doing visual comedy quite this well, each time out; to mix all manner of barnyard metaphors, when it comes to cartoon horseplay, Shaun the Sheep still wools the roost.
How to Have Sex

The Sheep Detectives
2026 · Variety · Apr 2026
