References in "Shaun the Sheep"? Spoilers

One of the great things about Shaun, besides everything, are the references and tributes to other films throughout the TV series and, presumably, this "feature film."

I'm assuming that the close-to-the-end scene with the crazed animal control officer is a tribute to the scene in Jurassic Park II with the trailer dangling over the cliff, being pushed by the tyrannosaurs.

Any other notable tributes/references spotted?

As The Farmer rolls away in the caravan, there's a slow motion low gravity shot, similar to Inception.

"The Great Escape" is referenced (musically, too) as the animals plot their lulling-them-to-sleep caper.

You have to look close for it, but on Trumper's bulletin board of photographs of animals he's captured, you can spot Feathers McGraw, the penguin villain from Wallace and Gromit
