GKIDS Secures U.S. Rights for Shaun Film

GKIDS has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Aardman and STUDIOCANAL’s film Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, directed by Steve Cox and Matthew Walker, and plans a U.S. Halloween release in 2026. The deal, GKIDS' first collaboration with Aardman, arrives as Aardman marks its 50th anniversary and follows two previous Oscar-nominated Shaun features.
