STER-KINEKOR HOSTS SPECIAL PRE-RELEASE SCREENINGS OF ANIMATED FILM, SHAUN THE SHEEP, BASED ON POPULAR TV SERIES

Published

on

Spin-off from “Wallace & Gromit” is a firm favourite with the younger audience

“Aardman’s latest stop-motion animated feature is a rarity: a film aimed at very young kids that will delight adults, too.” – Independent.

The delightful animated film, Shaun the Sheep Movie, will receive some special attention before its national release on 27 February. The film will have some pre-screenings this coming weekend, 21 and 22 February, for the first three show times at Ster-Kinekor cinemas.

Especially for the younger audience, the film is based on the perennial favourite TV series of the same name, which itself was a spin-off from Aardman Animation’s popular Wallace & Gromit series. This stop-frame animated movie follows Shaun the Sheep and his flock into the big city where they head en masse to rescue their farmer, who was forced by Shaun’s mischief to leave the farm.

The film is directed by Mark Burton and Richard Starzak, and is produced by David Sproxton, Julie Lockhart, Paul Kewley and Peter Lord.

“These sheep defy the stereotype. They are fiercely individual and resourceful. It’s the humans who look like conformists” – Guardian.

Don’t miss out on the chance of seeing this fun film before its national release.  All Ster-Kinekor cinemas are now fitted with the latest digital projection technology, ensuring that you ‘see it best’ and ‘see it first’, as you enjoy ‘Great Moments at their Greatest’.
