Synopsis of the film: The film follows the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm as they prepare for Halloween, until the Farmer accidentally destroys the flock’s pumpkin patch. Shaun takes on the role of a mad scientist in an attempt to put things right, but events quickly spiral out of control. With the Farmer missing and a mysterious creature roaming the woods of Mossingham, the stage is set for a lively family adventure.
The film features characters created by filmmaker Nick Park and marks the feature directorial debut of long-time Aardman collaborators Steve Cox and Matthew Walker. It is written by Mark Burton (Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Shaun the Sheep Movie). He is joined by Giles Pilbrow (Shaun the Sheep: Adventures from Mossy Bottom, Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas). Justin Fletcher returns as the voice of Shaun and the flock, alongside John Sparkes reprising his role as Bitzer the dog and Kate Harbour returning as the voice of Timmy’s mother.
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom brings Aardman’s signature charm to a Halloween setting, mixing familiar characters with a playful new mystery. With its creative team of long-time collaborators and returning voice cast, the film continues the tradition of lighthearted storytelling that has made Shaun a global favourite.
