The film follows Shaun, Bitzer and the flock into the big city to rescue the Farmer, who gets lost after Shaun’s mischief.
Shaun the Sheep Movie Storyline. After a blow to the head, the Farmer is diagnosed with amnesia, yet retains certain memories (i.e. shearing the sheep), which proves crucial to the plot. Meanwhile, Shaun is captured by Animal Control, and finds himself in a cell with Bitzer. They later escape, and find the Farmer, who is now a world-famous hair stylist (he mistakenly shaved the hair off a famous celebrity, as if he was Shaun), for starting the new trend. However, the Farmer no longer recognises Shaun, and Shaun is left heartbroken, misunderstanding his owner’s hostility, after their encounter.
After discovering the Farmer’s memory loss, the flock devises a plan – they will send everyone to sleep, then abduct the farmer, and take him back to the countryside. However, with the enraged stray-catcher hot on their trail, the protagonists’ plan to safely make it back home won’t be nearly as easy as they hope, but they’re determined to succeed.
