Synopsis
Spoiler shield

It’s madness in the meadow with Shaun the Sheep™ and his flock of mischievous merrymakers! Shaun expertly stops the pigs from running amuck and turning the farm into a porky paradise. He amuses his friends when he falls head over hoof for a beautiful stranger, and demonstrates what happens when curiosity gets the sheep after a hot air balloon lands and causes mayhem in the meadow. From the farm, to outer space and everywhere in between, Shaun and his barnyard buddies know how to have a woolly good time!
