Sky has revealed a new trailer for the next Shaun The Sheep adventure: The Beast of Mossy Bottom.
Out in cinemas from September 18, the movie sees the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm looking forward to Halloween – until the clumsy farmer trashes the pumpkin patch. Shaun turns mad scientist to fix the problem, but causes things to rapidly spiral out of control, creating a beast that terrifies the village.
The voice cast includes Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes, Kate Harbour, Simon Greenall, Andy Nyman, Anna Leong Brophy and Marcus Brigstocke.
The trailer also features the first appearance of Mossingham’s local influencer, voiced by Dani Dyer in her first animation voice acting role, who stages a selfie with the unsuspecting Beast.
