Sean Connolly - a press interview with Graham Young about 'SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE' and much more besides.

I met up with Birmingham Mail reporter Graham Young to talk about amongst other things; impersonating Harold Wilson as a 9 year old, 'THE ARCHERS', 'SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE' and The Oscars. There's also a video http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/film-news/shaun-sheep-movie-watch-man-8585673 about my approach to creating the characters for 'SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE', great fun!

Mark Kermode reviews 'SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE'; "Aardman just never let you down. I can feel my soul being scrubbed clean."

Mark Kermode: "Aardman just never let you down. I can feel my soul being scrubbed clean." 

"A movie that oozes good nature."

"The film does want to cuddle you quite a lot and I genuinely wanted to cuddle it back."

"It will make everyone in the audience feel like they're six years old."

I have enormous pleasure in announcing what roles I will be heard playing in the new 'SHAUN THE SHEEP MOVIE', which is RELEASED TODAY.

If you count up all the characters I've voiced, there are about ten, with two or three of them (including the Maître D above and below), whilst not being principle characters are featured throughout the film.

Two more fun characters I play in the film are both Hair Stylists (below) who work in the aptly named salon 'Barber Black Sheep'. Other roles I play include a Golfer, an Angry Panto Horse and a host of Hospital Characters ... fantastic fun!!

It’s been suggested that it might have been a risk for Aardman to extend a seven minute programme to a full feature, well writers and directors Richard Starzak and Mark Burton have pulled it off with ease, the team at Aardman have made something very special. I can’t wait to see it again and catch the sight gags I missed on my first viewing. It’s definitely a film that will reward multiple viewings.
