The sequel centers on the

title character and a new friend from far out of town. Like far, far out of town,

from somewhere in the deep reaches of space. This fish-out-of-water conceit

leads to a fast friendship as the folks on the farm try to help the newcomer

accommodate to life on Earth, with hilarious consequences. We can’t wait to see

it on the big screen!

Directed by Richard Phelan and Will Becher, the sequel takes off when an impish

and adorable alien called LU-LA crash-lands near Mossy Bottom Farm, and Shaun

sets off on a mission to shepherd LU-LA home. Her magical alien powers,

irrepressible mischief and galactic sized burps (as demod in the new trailer) soon

have the flock enchanted — but also attract the notice of some nefarious

humans. Can Shaun and the flock avert Farmageddon on Mossy Bottom Farm

before it’s too late?The film is written by Jon Brown and Mark Burton. Paul Kewlet

is producer, with executive producers Burton, Richard Starzak, Peter Lord, Nick

Park and David Sproxton.

StudioCanal is co-financing and distributing Farmaggedon in the U.K., France,

Germany, Australia and New Zealand this fall. The first Shaun The Sheep Movie,

released in 2015, brought Aardman and Studiocanal more than $100 million in

global box office; it was released in the U.S. by Lionsgate.
