Shaun the Sheep Shaun the Sheep Movie |
Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer's Llamas is a British stop motion animated television special based on the television program Shaun the Sheep by Nick Park. Produced by Paul Kewley and John Woolley and directed by Jay Grace, the program made its debut on Amazon Video in the USA on 13 November 2015 and on BBC One in the UK on Boxing Day 2015. The special follows Shaun the Sheep (Justin Fletcher) as he gets the Farmer (John Sparkes) to bring home three llamas from the County Fair.
When the Farmer and Bitzer bring a cake to a contest at a festival, Shaun tries to steal it but ends up hiding in the Farmer's shirt. At the festival, he encounters three llamas who are hypnotized by a flutist. The flute player stumbles and awakens the llamas, who create chaos in the cake contest. Once the llamas are again hypnotized, they are taken to an auction and sold. The Farmer and Bitzer accidentally buy them.
Back the Mossy Bottom Farm, the Farmer leads the llamas to the sheep meadow. Shaun befriends the llamas and the flock play a football game against the llamas. Timmy finds the flute that came with the llamas and tests it, discovering that he can hypnotize the llamas. However, Timmy loses the flute and the llamas destroy it. The llamas go on a vandalizing spree, culminating in taking a quad bike and destroying the sheep house just as Bitzer finishes repairing it. The flock becomes angry with Shaun for bringing the llamas. Meanwhile, The Farmer and Bitzer discover that the llamas have taken over the Farmer's house. After a confrontation, the llamas lock the Farmer in a wardrobe.
Bitzer and Shaun devise a plan to get rid of the llamas, tricking the creatures into the caravan. The llamas escape to take revenge on Shaun. He climbs on the roof of the Farmer's house and the llamas follow and are about to kill him. With almost everything lost, Timmy and the flock, with Bitzer's help, musically play empty bottles of soda to hypnotize the llamas, who fall back into the caravan.
Bitzer frees the Farmer from the wardrobe, and the next day the llamas are taken back to the auction, where the Farmer inadvertently buys a Rhino. During the credits,a bald man who bought the llamas leads them to his house, where he has a daughter who treats them very badly. Back at the farm, Timmy befriends the Rhino.
