My kids all liked this more than Inside Out


Ages 5, 8 and 10.

It got robbed at the Academy Awards.


Probably took a hell of a lot more effort to make this.

Now that I've finally watched this, I definitely see how this film could appeal to kids more. It's certainly a fun and charming movie. That said, Inside Out is still a far superior film and I'm sure tons of effort went into making both of these films.

It did not get robbed at the Oscars IMO.

This film was as funny as watching Cameron Diaz perform in Annie. The comedy makes it seem like it's geared more towards a younger audience. Older kids like me would probably find it bland and trying too hard to be funny and adults will find it unfunny.

The baby sheep was annoying like other babies. And it seemed like it didn't know if it wanted to be a silent film or not, the dialogue was garbled and this is not very creative in creating a silent film, they could've had the humans talk in normal dialogue and the sheep talk garbled or with a bleating sound or just make it all-around silent with bleating sounds or something.

I hope that there is an Evangelion video game where you can beat Asuka up!

I'm in my 40s and found this movie to be hilarious, particularly the villain.

Then again, I can see humor in almost anything.

I confess I haven't seen this movie, and I absolutely adore Inside Out, but I do know how much it stings when your preferred film doesn't win. I still get mad when I think how Wreck-It Ralph was robbed.

I thought this was hilarious and a joy to watch. I still liked Inside Out better, but this was excellent too.

*Love one another*

You can't compare these movies. Apples and oranges. I loved both but Inside Out hurt me bad - reminded too much of how short and precious life is - and how those times with your children only come around once (let alone your own childhood). Shaun the Sheep was just pure cathartic joy and escape - especially if you are a Nick Park fan.

Inside Out was mediocre in my opinion, I got bored in the middle. It was a good idea but wasn't executed well!
This movie was far more entertaining throughout!
