by

According to recent reports, there’s going to be a fresh installment in the beloved series of Shaun the Sheep. The upcoming film is set to be named Shaun the Sheep: The Creature from Mossy Bottom.

In the synopsis provided by the film’s U.K. distributor, it is stated that “Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom” revolves around the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm as they eagerly anticipate Halloween. However, their excitement is ruined when the clumsy Farmer accidentally damages the flock’s favorite pumpkin patch. “Determined to rectify the situation, Shaun transforms into a ‘Mad Scientist,’ but things quickly get out of hand.” As events unfold, The Farmer goes missing, and a mysterious beast is sighted in the woods of Mossingham.

Aardman Animations hints that “everything is set for a massive new addition to the Shaun the Sheep series.” The upcoming movie, titled “The Beast of Mossy Bottom“, will be the third stop-motion animated feature in the franchise. Notably, Aardman Studios has also produced recent box office sensation Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and timeless hit Chicken Run.

The movie titled “Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom” is penned by Mark Burton (known for “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl”) in collaboration with Giles Pilbrow (author of “Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas”). Steve Cox, who previously directed “Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas,” and Matthew Walker from “Lloyd of the Flies” will be at the helm as directors. Richard Beek, who worked on “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” takes on the Producer role. Nick Park, Peter Lord, Carla Shelley, and Sarah Cox serve as Executive Producers for this production.
