Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom sees the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm looking forward to Halloween – until the clumsy Farmer trashes the Flock’s treasured pumpkin patch! When Shaun turns mad scientist to fix the problem, things rapidly spiral out of control… With the Farmer missing and a wild beast roaming the woods of Mossingham, all the ingredients are in place for a monstrously fun family adventure.

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. With the Flock snail-proofing their pumpkin patch, Timmy in full sailor get-up, the Farmer squeezing into his too-tight Halloween hoedown costume and a high-speed boat chase captained by the Vet, this trailer is shear cinema.
