In a move of excellent animated parity, The Shaun The Sheep Movie 2 Farmageddon DVD and Blu-ray will be coming out with the same special featured and bonus content. You can find out more about all of the extras bundled with the film below, but the Aardman Animations sequel has well and truly bucked the trend of skipping DVD, which is a positive move from our point of view.
It’s easy to understand the reasoning behind the discrimination as the format is intended to be sidelined in favour of Blu-ray, digital and 4K, but it always seems a bit harsh with the ongoing success of DVD in the UK. The reality is that there’s already an inherent difference between the formats in the definition quality, so trying to force people towards the other options by releasing DVDs without any bonus content is a bit cheep.
In the US they’ve pretty much done away with DVDs as a stand-alone product, bundling them with the Blu-ray release instead for anyone that hasn’t upgraded their tech yet. Luckily, here in the UK, they haven’t gone so far and even luckier still for Shaun The Sheep fans Movie 2 will be including special features across the board.
Special Features and Bonus Content
Whether you’re planning on buying the DVD, Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD version of the film, the special features and bonus content is made up of the following six extras:
- How to draw Lu-La – Learn how to draw alien invader Lu-La by with this quick and easy tutorial to help fans of all all ages to sketch the character
- How to draw Shaun the Sheep – Learn how to draw the eponymous hero with a similar special feature tutorial
- How to make painted Easter eggs
- Lu-La Slime Time – Learn how to make Lu-La out of slime. We’re not too sure how this is going to work, but it sounds pretty random.
- 25 Years of Shaun the Sheep – Who knew! S Le S is a whopping 25! The team at Aardman, including Nick Park, talk about Shaun’s coming of age saga on the big screen.
- Making Farmageddon – Find out all about the live action that went into the making of Shaun The Sheep 2. This special feature will take you behind the scenes to give you a glimpse of the time, effort and love that went into the creation of the film.
