The Sheep Detectives - it's Babe with a cozy British mystery
We saw the Sheep Detectives with my extended family and we were all blown away by it. I think they thought it would be cute, and they wanted to see Hugh Jackman.
The basic plot is Hugh is a shepherd who reads mystery books, and he reads them out loud to his sheep (he assumes his sheep do not understand). When Hugh is murdered, Lily, his smartest sheep, decides she is going to find his killer.
The sheep talk to each other but humans do not understand (like in Babe).
So there is the human story of the bumbling small town cop investigating and the sheep story of the sheep investigating.
But in addition to the mystery there is a lot of sheep culture and social life covered, with cute little lambs, etc. It has a lot of feelings mixed in - you'll laugh, you'll cry.
Have you seen it? What did you think?
