Sundance ‘15 trailer of the day: ‘Shaun the Sheep’ [video]

Today's Sundance "trailer of the day" is a wild trip to the city, with some wooly company.

"Shaun the Sheep" is the movie follow-up to Aardman Animation's British TV series that spun off from the studio's "Wallace & Gromit" franchise. (Shaun, fans of W&G will recall, first appeared in the 1995 short "A Close Shave.")

In the movie, Shaun and his flock pull a prank that goes too far, sending their farmer into the big city. Shaun and the flock, along with their sheepdog Bitzer, must go to the city — trying to blend in and avoid an obsessed animal-control officer — to find the Farmer and take him home.

"Shaun the Sheep" will screen in the Sundance Kids program of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
