The mischievous Shaun the Sheep has moved on from his television roots in his farm field, to a big city on the big screen. When Shaun decides he wants to take a day off to get away from the other sheep he is continuously in charge of, he decides to visit the city. When the flock become engaged in a mix-up involving a caravan, their farmer and a very steep hill, the group are trapped in the city and must find their way out, navigating obstacles like traffic, animal rescue activists and a cat that bears a striking resemblance to Dr. Hannibal Lector.

Produced by the legendary Aardman Animations, Shaun the Sheep is a film adaptation of the children's program of the same name. Aardman are probably best known for their other animation creations like 'Wallace and Gromit', 'Chicken Run' and 2012's 'The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!' The voice cast is the same as the television show, with children's entertainer Justin Fletcher providing the voice of Shaun, and Welsh comedian John Sparks voicing the sheepdog, Bitzer. The film has been written and directed by Mark Burton and Richard Starzack. It will be distributed via Studio Canal and is set for release in January, 2015.
