When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for. A mix up with The Farmer, a caravan, and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City and it’s up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to Mossy Bottom Farm.
Shaun The Sheep Movie powers through visual puns, sight gags and rollicking plot twists to arrive at a hard-won realization: there’s no place like home.
As there is no dialogue from any of the characters, the music plays such an important role in the movie. That’s where the fantastic, colorful score from composer Ilan Eshkeri comes in.
Complete with the Shaun the Sheep theme, lively cues, and songs, including the award-friendly “Feels Like Summer” song, Eshkeri score is a wonderful soundtrack for a very funny film.
Eshkeri’s recent film work includes Still Alice,...

The BBC has defended upcoming show Britain's Hardest Grafter, which has attracted complaints and a change.org petition signed by tens of thousands of people calling for it to be axed.
Producers Twenty Twenty and the broadcaster have issued a joint statement countering criticisms of the show, which has not yet started shooting.
"Britain's Hardest Grafter is a current affairs commission and not an entertainment format, and is at the very earliest stages of production," read the statement.
"The welfare of those taking part is of paramount importance and it is a misinterpretation of the concept of the series to suggest it is exploitative."
Controller of BBC Two and BBC Four Kim Shillinglaw first announced the commission in January, when it was called Britain's Hardest Worker.
Shillinglaw said at the time that the programme would be "looking at the low wage economy".

Capcom's zombie-packed Dead Rising videogame series is to be turned into a film...
News
Capcom's Dead Rising series of videogames are the latest to be making the jump across to the movies. Well, sort of.
Legendary Pictures is to finance and produce a film based on Dead Rising, for which Tim Carter has been hired to write the script and produce the film (along with Tomas Harlan). Lorenzo di Bonaventura will be executive producing. No director has thus far been announced.
However, the target for the film isn't the big screen, rather Sony's online video service, Crackle. Once the film has debuted on Crackle, it's then expected to be available on disc and on demand.
Expect lots of zombies anyway, even if they won't be found, in this case, at your local multiplex.

Seems like all of my TV leading men started out this new season in jail. When we last we saw them, Van Pelt's (Amanda Righetti) obnoxious fiancé O'Loughling (Eric Winter) was reveled to be a Red John minion and subsequently killed, Lisbon (Robin Tunney) had been shot, and Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) had murdered a man in cold blood in a mall food court. I'd call that suspenseful for a season finale, no? We return to our team a few days after the incident. Lisbon's still in the hospital, enjoying her lovely cocktail of pain killers. There really needs to be more drugged, blissed-out Lisbon in my life. Director Bertram (Michael Gaston) is busy doing his creepy media tidying-up thing, wherein he tries to make everything *not* look bad for the Cbi. Oh, Jane closed cases but he's a nutbar and the Cbi holds no responsibility for his actions. Lisbon...
