It’s almost Halloween and things start to go wrong when the farmer accidentally destroys the prized pumpkin patch. With a mysterious beast on the loose in the local woods and the farmer missing, Shaun and his friends have little time to try and save the day. Shaun’s third big screen adventure also marks the 50th Anniversary of Aardman Animation.

Take It Or Leave It, originally released in 1981, is the highly entertaining and brilliantly nostalgic story of how Madness, one of the most successful and enduring British bands of all time, originally got together.

Filmed after Madness enjoyed a bunch of Top 10 singles, endearing themselves to the British public with the humour of their iconic music videos, the film travels back in time, chronicling how seven mates living in 1970s Camden Town formed a band. It details the jobs they left behind, the line-up changes, the rows, the laughs, and how their distinctive ska-pop ‘Nutty Sound’ evolved.

Featuring classic songs including One Step Beyond, Night Boat to Cairo and Embarrassment, the release will be supported by the band, alongside a brand-new trailer, a new quad poster and paid-for campaign.
