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]
