Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon Full Story
In the town of Mossingham, Farmer John and his dog Bingo discover the landing of a UFO and flee from the alien who comes out of it. On Mossy Bottom Farm, Shaun and the flock try to enjoy their dangerous pastimes, only for Bitzer to stop them from their activities and ban them completely. After being banned from having a barbecue for dinner, Shaun decides to order three pizzas, but when the pizzas arrive, both Bitzer—who intercepts two-thirds of the delivery—and the flock discover the pizza boxes are completely empty.
The next morning, Shaun discovers a trail of pizza crusts and encounters the alien. The visitor introduces herself as Lu-La, an impish alien from To-Pa with extraterrestrial powers. When Shaun introduces her to the flock, she causes mischief with a combine harvester, damaging it while transforming a field behind the farmhouse into unintentional crop circles. Taking advantage of the recent news of alien sightings, the Farmer deduces he can create an alien-based theme park, “Farmageddon”, in which he can earn money to afford a new harvester.
The Ministry of Alien Detection’s (M.A.D.) leader Agent Red investigates the UFO claims. After discovering the UFO has disappeared, both John and Bingo are arrested. Meanwhile, Lu-La and Shaun track down the UFO, which is revealed to have been made invisible earlier. The pair try to get the UFO started but is unable to. Trying to recall how to start the spaceship and Shaun’s query on a picture of her family, Lu-La transmits her memories to Shaun, revealing that she is actually a child and accidentally launched her parents’ spaceship while playing on it. They also realize they need an egg-shaped sphere device to activate it. M.A.D arrives and captures the spaceship and take it to their headquarters.
At the base, Shaun and Lu-La slip out and manage to retrieve the device, while the others are distracted by Bitzer who has been following Shaun and is mistaken as the alien due to an alien-based suit used to promote “Farmageddon”. Shaun and Lu-La restart the ship and manage to escape with Bitzer and head to To-Pa; en route, Shaun ignores Bitzer’s instructions not to touch anything on the ship, causing them to crash back to Earth. Seeing the UFO destroyed Lu-La is left broken-hearted. Feeling remorse for what he had done, Shaun tries to find another way to get Lu-La home; he then discovers that the device can be used to contact Lu-La’s parents back on her planet, but requires a signal at a greater height. Shaun decides that he and Lu-La attempt to reach the top of the Farmer’s “Farmageddon” theme park signboard to be able to make contact.
With the help of the flock and Bitzer, Shaun and Lu-La climb the sign while the Farmer launches a show at the theme park. Meanwhile, Red arrives and chases Shaun and Lu-La up the signboard using a robotic device. Delaying her from capturing the alien and eventually pushing her down, Shaun manages to send a distress message, but Lu-La is captured. Her parents—Up-Do and Me-Ma—arrive in time and reunite with their daughter. Red eventually welcomes the aliens, knowing they are aliens she saw as a child, starting her projects with M.A.D… Shaun, Bitzer and the flock bid the aliens farewell, while “Farmageddon” received good reviews as the incident is regarded as part of the theme park’s show’s ‘special effects’. Whilst on their way back to To-Pa, the aliens discover the Farmer on their UFO so they took him back to earth during the credits.
Back on Earth, the Farmer tries out his new harvester, only for it to blow up, scaring Shaun, Bitzer, and Timmy.

Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon Review
The farmyard gets a close encounter of the third kind. I was going to say ‘herd kind’ but that would have been a terrible pun and not very accurate. This film is worth much more than that. Without any dialogue as such, just like the first Shaun the Sheep movie, this film tells a perfectly understandable story with wit and skill. It really is beautifully crafted. The gag count is high from beginning to end and everyone from your three-year-old nephew to your deaf granddad will be thoroughly entertained. Even the end titles are worth watching through. The humour is mostly physical slap-stick. Smart sheep, hapless humans, perilous pizza. I like the pizza.
I loved the first Shaun film, and particularly enjoy the craft that goes into making Aardman as great as they are. This film felt expertly crafted to cater for younger audiences, which is perfect and as it should be. It’s nice to see Aardman putting so much warmth into their story – which almost certainly borrows heavily from your fave scifi film – and the animation is some of the most vibrant and colourful stop frame I’ve ever seen. A true feast for the eyes and comfort for the heart. A beautiful triumph, congratulations to all involved in its production, the hard work shows and pays off in spades.
You know what you are getting with an Aardman film and to be honest, I love it. Brilliantly stupid slapstick comedy with a British theme and plenty enough jokes subtly aimed at adults. The story of this film is aimed at the very young but it doesn’t really make any difference to the film it is still funny for all ages. It’s harmless fun and worth a visit for all the family.
