Sex & Nudity

  • A man is shown sitting on a toilet. No private parts are visible.
  • A sheep in disguise kisses a man but it's pushed away.
  • For crude humor, a few times the farmer's butt crack is visible. Nothing graphic, just for laughs.
  • A recurring plot element is a couple of the sheep dressing up as a woman, and the animal capturer trying to woo her/them. Nothing graphic.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is zapped with electricity.
  • One scene shows someone about to have an operation.
  • A fair amount of slapstick animated violence, all played for laughs with next to no sense of actual threat.
  • During the opening montage the farm dog gets squished between a wall and a door multiple times for comedic effect.
  • The farmer gets hit on the head by a ball and ends up in a hospital. There are no injuries, the only effect is him getting amnesia.
  • When the farmer is suffering from amnesia he ends up in a barber shop and in a semi-conscious state forcibly shaves a person's head. Played for laughs.

Profanity

  • Verbally none, as the film has no spoken dialogue.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • People in the background drinking light wine in a restaurant.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The climax is quite dramatic with some scary elements.
  • A man is shown afraid of a sheep.
  • One scene shows a sheep taking a bite out of styrofoam and spitting it out, this may be disturbing.
  • The animal capturer acts aggressively and mean.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Some characters are pushed to the edge of a ravine.
  • At one point the animal capturer uses a special weapon which fires a wire that electrocutes the target. This backfires, and he ends up comedically electrocuting himself.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The first scene in the animal shelter might give a spooky vibe for younger children with its dark lighting, ominous atmosphere and the other animals staring threateningly at Shaun. One inhabitant in the shelter is a dog who is shown only constantly staring into the camera, which might unsettle younger viewers. In the end credits, it is revealed that it is actually a cardboard cut-out and the actual dog has escaped, this is a reference to The Shawshank Redemption.
  • When the farmer drives Shaun and the other sheep away due to his amnesia, the film gets a bit sad for a while.
  • The film is a bit intense towards the end, as the animal capturer tries to drop the main characters into a quarry.
