Goofs:
The film features the eight 'named' sheep (Shaun, Timmy, Timmy's mum, Hazel, Shirley, Nuts and The Twins), however, a few minutes in as they are celebrating the success of their plan to make the farmer fall asleep in the wheelbarrow a ninth sheep (which looks like another Hazel) appears for that scene only.

I am a grown male and got the timings wrong to see The Interview and
could not be bothered to wait for the next screening so I selected the
next film starting.
I have never seen the series, so cant judge if this is a good or bad
adaptation all I can say this is a truly funny film though aimed at
children is funny enough to keep me entertained.
The animation is uniformly excellent and honestly kept me guessing from
the start to the end whether it was CGI or stop motion, I am still not
sure even after reading all the credits. Maybe I didn't read them
properly because the theme tune is very catchy and bounces round the
head even now.
The story is easy to follow, the characters are likable and there is no
trite wince inducing dialogue, everything is mumbled by the humans and
the sheep communicate in a variations of bahs. There are some cracking
running gags and a smattering of fart jokes. The sheep in disguise have
to be seen to believed and the viewer would be surprised what goes on
with a horse.
The closing credits though long are a fun roll with a funny bit at the
end.
Watch it. I bet The Interview wont be as much fun.
