Shaun\u2019s attempt to fix the situation by way of some ill-advised \u201cmad scientist\u201d experimentation, how very Aardman, spirals into a creature-feature parody, complete with a missing Farmer and a mysterious beast roaming nearby woods.<\/p>\n<p>The film marks the feature directorial debut of longtime Aardman collaborators Steve Cox and Matthew Walker, working from a screenplay by franchise veteran Mark Burton (Wallace &amp; Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Shaun the Sheep Movie) and Giles Pilbrow. Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes, and Kate Harbour reprise their voice roles.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Aardman and Studiocanal, the project continues the Bristol-based studio\u2019s commitment to handcrafted stop-motion, a medium it has championed for five decades as it celebrates its half-century anniversary this year. Distribution will be handled by GKIDS in North America, with Studiocanal overseeing most international territories and Sky releasing in the U.K.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-259563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Shaun-the-Sheep-Mossy-Bottom-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Shaun the Sheep Mossy Bottom\" width=\"1729\" height=\"2560\"  \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GKIDS and Studiocanal have unveiled the first trailer and poster for Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-488967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
