The Sheep Detectives: Hugh Jackman delivers with this hilariously weird and awesome flick
Confusing. Weird. Hilarious. Must-see. I am here for all the things The Sheep Detectives promises to deliver - initially corny-looking but the more I stick with the trailer, the more I feel this is a legit must-see heading into blockbuster film season.
Animation and sheep on the murder-solving prowl? Oh yes.
George Hardy, a shepherd who loves his sheep and raises them only for their wool. Every night he reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand, never suspecting that not only can they understand, but they argue for hours afterwards about whodunnit. When George is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the sheep realise at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The local cop Tim Derry, on the other hand, has never solved a serious crime in his life, so the sheep conclude they will have to solve it themselves, even if it means leaving their meadow for the first time and facing the fact that the human world isn’t as simple as it appears in books.
