No asteroids are hurtling toward Earth in “A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon,” though a flying frozen pizza does softly slice the top off an elderly shopper’s hairdo: That’s roughly the level of quirky peril we’re talking about in the latest outing from Aardman Animations, and as usual, the British stop-motion masters cheerfully prove that benign needn’t mean bland. Arriving nearly five years after the Oscar-nominated “Shaun the Sheep Movie” successfully expanded the bucolic “Wallace and Gromit” spinoff to feature length, this baa-lated but baa-guiling sequel — if such puns make you wince, perhaps give the film a wide berth — returns Aardman to winningly offbeat form after last year’s adept but oddly anemic prehistoric adventure “Early Man.”
“Farmageddon” is the first feature-length sequel from an outfit that has experienced steadily diminishing commercial returns since “Chicken Run” raked in $225 million worldwide at the turn of the century.

2000’s Chicken Run was a global smash for British stop motion geniuses Aardman Animations. The tale of a cocky, uh, cock and a flock of freedom hungry hens proved to be box office gold, grossing $225 million. Nearly two decades have passed since its release but in April 2018, Aardman announced that they were planning on making a Chicken Run 2.
This made sense, as their next film, Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon hits cinemas this week and the studio has to be banking on it being a success. After all, 2018’s Early Man was positively received by critics yet inexplicably failed to make an impact with audiences, earning a paltry $54 million on a $50 million budget. Surely going back to their biggest hit and making a sequel is the kind of safe move the studio needs now, right?
Apparently so, as Will Becher, co-director at Aardman, has confirmed that Chicken Run 2 is now in production,...

Look past the bombastic title, and you'll find a home-grown documentary worth your 90 minutes. Farmageddon, from director Kristin Canty, explores the plight of family farms, frequently family-owned business, small units operated by individuals, unearthing evidence of governmental abuse under the pretense of flimsy jurisdiction. She goes the talking head route, collecting evidence of abuse from community farmers willing to speak out - it would seem that the same laws leveled against industrial food chains are exercised against tiny farms. In a country largely dominated by industry-borne, strictly-regulated, chemically-treated meat and diary, these farmers face bias and government inquiries into the health of their animals (a segment involving an investigation into non-existent mad cow disease prevalence among sheep that ends in the animals being confiscated and slaughtered is just short of infuriating) or the quality of their non-pasteurized milk.

Farmageddon
Directed By: Kristin Canty
Featuring: Jackie Stowers, Linda Faillace, Barbara and Steve Smith, Eric Wagoner, Joel Salatin, Mark McAfee

Release Date: July 8, 2011 (limited)
Back in 2008, the curtain was pulled back on the food industry in a documentary titled Food Inc., which gave us a horrific look at the large food corporations and their horrific practices, as well as the damage they're doing to small American farms. And like any well–done documentary like it, the movie infuriated the masses, sparking an outlash toward these corporations in hopes of setting things right.
Although a lot of work still needs to be done in that area, unfortunately it also doesn't end there. There's many layers of the food industry we don't see, and therefore don't know of. Out of sight, out of mind. Which is why it's so important for people to tell their stories and inform the...

Summary: A cautionary tale for consumers.
Though its title calls to mind images of Bruce Willis in overalls, Farmageddon is actually a sobering look at our government's treatment of small, non-corporate farms. Director Kristin Canty gets personal, introducing us to family after family who've had their property and privacy manhandled by the Fda, Usda, FBI and the Department of Agriculture and Markets. These independent farmers are literally crying over spilt milk, and they want you to understand why.
