Continuity
The film features the eight 'named' sheep (Shaun, Timmy, Timmy's mum, Hazel, Shirley, Nuts and The Twins), however, a few minutes in as they are celebrating the success of their plan to make the farmer fall asleep in the wheelbarrow a ninth sheep (which looks like another Hazel) appears for that scene only

Trivia:

'Big City' is twinned with 'La Grande Ville' and 'Die Großstadt', watch out for the sign

One of the publicity shots for 'Mr X', is a pose similar to the Christine Keeler chair portrait

The QR code on the poster seen around the 48th minute references to the Shaun the Sheep website

Just after the sheep save the farmer from the hairdressers they turn a corner to run down an alley. On the wall is a torn poster for John Cooper Clarke and The Fall

The name of the farm that the series and part of the film is set in, is Mossy Bottom Farm

In the post-credits sequence, the distracted rooster is playing a game on his phone - The SFX of that game are from 'Sheep Stack', an Aardman Animations produced mobile game

On Shaun's bag one of the badges is a Blue Peter badge

This film is released on the Chinese new year of the Year of the Sheep

The photographer photographing the birds at the pond is a cameo by Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park who is also an executive producer on this movie

The characters (Shaun, Bitzer, Farmer etc) all have their old Series 1 designs

The film contains absolutely no dialogue, aside from animal sound effects

The restaurant where the sheep try to blend in by imitating the other diners is called 'Le Chou Brûlé' which means 'The Burnt Cabbage'
