Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom trailer points to Aardman's 2026 feature pipeline

Aardman's next Shaun the Sheep feature has moved from announcement into trailer-led public marketing. The reported trailer frames the film as a Halloween story built around Mossy Bottom Farm: the Farmer destroys the flock's pumpkin patch, Shaun tries to fix the problem through a mad-scientist setup, and the story escalates into a mystery around a creature in the nearby woods. For SMDB this is useful because it keeps the film visible as an active stop-motion feature rather than only a future-title listing.

The item also helps separate maker and distribution roles. Aardman is the production studio to track, while Sky, StudioCanal and GKIDS are distribution partners depending on territory. The next database step is not to infer full credits from trailer coverage, but to keep the work lead active and later verify final credit roll data, official release territory details, and crew lists from primary materials or end credits.
