Stop motion animation takes time. Shaun the Sheep Movie proved to be a hit when it came out in 2015. Aardman Animation immediately started work on a sequel. A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon arrived in the winter of 2019. In America the film skipped theaters and went to a certain streaming service in February 2020. The movie was popular and even received an Oscar nomination. But since it was on a streaming service, there wasn’t a home video release. After all these years, Shout! Factory is coming out with the movie on Blu-ray + DVD in October. This is important since fans enjoy collecting Aardman titles and don’t want to fear the day it vanishes from the streaming site. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory:
