Ahead of its release in September, Sky reveals the wild new trailer and images for Shaun The Sheep: The Beast Of Mossy Bottom.
Shaun and the Flock are in for their wildest, woolliest, and most hilariously spooky adventure yet. Sky unveils an all-new trailer and images for Sky Original film Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom. The film releases theatrically on 18 September in the UK.
THE PREMISE
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom sees the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm looking forward to Halloween. Everything changes when the clumsy Farmer trashes the Flock’s treasured pumpkin patch! When Shaun turns mad scientist to fix the problem, things rapidly spiral out of control. Meanwhile, the Farmer goes missing and a wild beast starts roaming the woods of Mossingham. Thus, all the ingredients are in place for a monstrously fun family adventure.
The trailer also features the first appearance of Mossingham’s local influencer, voiced by Dani Dyer in her first animation voice acting role. She stages a selfie with the unsuspecting Beast. Meanwhile, the Flock snail-proof their pumpkin patch, Timmy dons a full sailor get-up, and the Farmer squeezes into his too-tight Halloween hoedown costume. Additionally, there is a high-speed boat chase captained by the Vet. This trailer is shear cinema.
