Aardman, TikTok Offer Fans A Chance To Star In New ‘Shaun The Sheep’ Film

Bristol-based Aardman Animations is teaming up with TikTok to give one fan the chance of a lifetime: being sculpted in clay and featured in the upcoming Shaun the Sheep film, The Beast of Mossy Bottom.

To enter, fans must post a TikTok video showing off their admiration for Shaun using the hashtag #ShaunTheSheepMovie3. The 20 most popular videos will be put before a panel of judges, who will pick the ultimate winner.

The prize will see the winner immortalized in clay by Aardman’s artists and appear alongside Shaun in his third feature-length adventure, set to hit theaters in 2026. Studiocanal will handle international distribution.

Sean Clarke, Aardman’s managing director, said:

Shaun is a social media star himself, with a combined following of over 14 million and TikTok videos that rack up over 10 million views. So, what better way to celebrate his next feature-length adventure than by asking his fans to join in the fun? We’re excited to offer this ‘money can’t buy’ prize and hopefully make one superfan’s dream come true.

Dominic Burns, TikTok’s Head of Operations for the UK, Ireland and Nordics, added:

Shaun has found a whole new fanbase on the platform, and it’s fantastic to see Aardman taking that further with a one-of-a-kind competition that could only happen on TikTok.

The competition opens on September 4 through the official Shaun the Sheep TikTok account, with entries closing on 30 October. The winner will be announced later in the year.
