None; the film features no spoken dialogue or written profanity.

There is a brief, incidental background scene showing restaurant patrons consuming wine, which is neither highlighted nor relevant to the plot.

Shaun the Sheep Movie runs 85 minutes, directed by Mark Burton, Richard Starzak, released in 2015.
