As our headline says, Spider-Man: Brand New Day dropped its new trailer today, but it's all a bit sad with Peter Parker being mopey because the spell he cast to make everyone forget him has made everyone forget him, and it's not letting Jon Bernthal's The Punisher say naughty words.
The new trailer for Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, however, has it all. 'Born to Be Wild', actual narration like in the good old days (with puns!), and a brilliant visual gag with the tension chord at the end.
The trailer also confirms that the film is still set for a big-screen release in the US as well as the (previously-announced) UK, rather than going direct to streaming. Hooray!

The plot sees the residents of Mossy Bottom getting ready to celebrate Halloween when disaster strikes, and The Farmer ruins the treasured pumpkin patch.
Taking a leaf out of Wallace's book from Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Shaun decides to turn mad scientist to solve the problem, and disaster strikes again!

Aardman has been on a roll for the last few years, with the releases of both Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl doing good numbers, especially the latter (which had massive viewership for the BBC as part of stacked Christmas Day line-up), and made an official Star Wars short for Disney.
In the pipeline, the beloved stop-motion animation studio, among other things, a collaboration with Pokémon called Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu. The series is set for release in 2027.
