‘Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas’ is an absolute delight if you're looking for a new holiday special to watch this season. Even if you're not familiar with an Aardman ('Wallace & Gromit', 'Shaun the Sheep') production, this dialogue-free treat is filled with creative delights, gorgeous stop-motion animation, and oodles of delightful details. The characters and their facial expressions are so funny. This is a not a long special and it doesn't need to be. The time allotted to tell the story is just perfect. As Shaun does a raid in a farmhouse to get bigger stockings, little Timmy is taken away, leaving him and the flock to try and get Timmy back before he becomes someone’s present. There is a wonderful holiday feel and to this latest entry by Aardman.
