LOS ANGELES, Oct 25 — Shaun the Sheep is coming back to the big screen.

The sequel to the highly successful 2015 big screen debut will be directed and produced by the same team who helmed the original film.

Pre-production starts in January.

The British stop-motion animated film is a spin-off of the Wallace and Gromit franchise.

Plot details are scarce for now. The first film followed Shaun and his flock to the big city to rescue their amnesiac farmer. — AFP-Relaxnews
