Aardman has dropped some “breaking ewes” by unveiling its plans for a third Shaun the Sheep adventure, following 2015’s Shaun the Sheep Movie and 2019’s A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon. The next stop-motion animated feature film from the studio, Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, is officially in production and being touted as a “monstrously fun” outing for the beloved character, who will return to screens in 2026 — possibly in time for spooky season as the story unravels in the lead up to Halloween.
Giles Pilbrow has penned the script for Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom with Mark Burton, who wrote last year’s critically acclaimed Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Shaun and his flock might not have to face Feathers McGraw, but there is “a wild beast roaming the woods.” The story begins with “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.”
More to come…
