I never really watched the show as a kid, but whenever I did I was certainly amused. So this movie wouldn't have struck a childhood chord with me, yet I still managed to enjoy it.
Clay-mation/stop-motion never gets old, and really adds to the experience of viewing a movie, such as this one. The stop-motion was all very well done, but that's to be expected, considering the creators have (hopefully) spent years making the show and playing with the models already.
Shaun the Sheep Movie was it's own thing, which was really nice. Whether it was loaded with references to the show or not, it wasn't required to watch it to still enjoy or understand the movie. Unlike a lot of other movies I've seen these days (like Marvel movies) it's harder to enjoy and understand without reading the original material. Shaun the Sheep Movie manages to stand on its own as a great movie still, which is nice to see.
The movie was rather funny at points, and the 'Silence of the Lambs' reference was a nice touch.
Overall, Shaun the Sheep Movie is great. It's enjoyable, entertaining, and definitely one I recommend watching with your kids/family, because it's got something that everyone can enjoy. I'd definitely recommend this movie if your just looking for some good, entertaining fun.
