SHAUN THE SHEEP IS 30 THIS CHRISTMAS. MARION MCMULLEN CELEBRATES THE LAMB WITH A PLAN
-
A Close Shave made Shaun the sheep a global superstar. He landed his own TV series and has starred in two films - Shaun The Sheep Movie in 2015, which saw Shaun heading to the big city to bring the Farmer home to Mossy Bottom Farm, and A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon in 2019 which followed Shaun after he befriended a little lost alien called Lu-La. Both of the movies were nominated for an Oscar.
Shaun will be back in cinemas next year for Halloween in a third movie called Shaun The Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom which sees spooky things happening on the farm when the clumsy farmer thrashes the flock's pumpkin patch .... and there is a wild beast roaming the local woods.
Shaun has racked up more than 10 billion views on YouTube and has more than six million Facebook fans. He has also starred in festive offerings like The Farmer's Llamas and Shaun The Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas.
