Production

The special was first announced on October 13, 2014 and was set to air on BBC One at Boxing Day 2015. It first went into production after production was completed on Shaun the Sheep Movie.[9]

Release

The special was released on Amazon Video in the USA on November 13, 2015.[10] It aired in the UK on Boxing Day 2015.[11] It was released on DVD in the UK on February 8, 2016.[12]

Reception

Melissa Camacho from Common Sense Media gave it four out of five and said "Shaun fans of all ages should find this adventure a delightful addition to the Aardman canon."[13] Ed Power from The Daily Telegraph gave it four out of five and said "Kids, of course, will have loved every silly, sloppy minute. For a show going out at tea-time on Boxing Day, surely that was mission accomplished."[14] Ed Liu from Toon Zone said "The show certainly held my interest and extracted more than its share of laughs, but The Farmer’s Llamas doesn’t really have much more plot than an average episode of Shaun the Sheep."[15]
