RottenTomatoes Score: 100% (8.1/10 average) Box Office: While it's never going to be a box office smash on the scale of a Disney or Pixar movie, Shaun the Sheep has already made $18.8 million worldwide, which considering its low budget and the fact it hasn't opened in over 40 markets yet isn't bad at all. While its near-silent approach to dialogue and overall whimsy might prove a little too snoozy for kids reared on more hyperactive, CGI-driven animated fare, there's a gentle charm to Aardman's latest production which makes it standout among its brethren. The animation is lovely, the script is full of sneaky gags for the adults, and it's for the most part refreshingly free of overt social media or pop-culture references.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
