Sky has announced a host of special guest voice appearances for its upcoming Sky Original feature film, Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, also produced by Aardman and STUDIOCANAL. Nina Sosanya, Paul Whitehouse and Roman Kemp will join the Flock for Shaun’s biggest adventure yet, together with the previously announced Dani Dyer and Justin Fletcher who returns as the voices of Shaun and Timmy. Alongside the eclectic guest voice cast, the film will also feature a brand-new remix of Shaun the Sheep’s iconic theme tune, Life’s A Treat, by British hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks.
In this third stop-motion feature from multi award-winning animation studio Aardman, Nina Sosanya will voice Mossingham’s trusted vet, Paul Whitehouse will play the local Shop Keeper, Roman Kemp will appear as a Pizza Boy and Dani Dyer will voice the town’s social media-savvy Influencer in her first-ever animation voice acting role.
Having previously reworked the track for the first Shaun the Sheep Movie in 2015, Rizzle Kicks return with a fresh remix that will feature during the film’s end credits.
Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks remarked: “I’ve proudly said working with Aardman on the Shaun the Sheep soundtrack is one of my best moments. Shaun is just iconic and the song is a real banger.”
Harley Alexander-Sule, added: “We grew up watching Wallace & Gromit, so when we were asked to remix Life’s A Treat, it was a very easy decision to make. We had loads of fun in the studio putting a fresh spin on it and I can’t wait to watch the new film with my kids.”
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.
