The Sheep Detectives 08/11/26

Different is Good in this pleasant, sometimes silly rural fantasy in which talking animals solve a crime. No, no, no … it makes sense on its own level. Hugh Jackman is good to sheep, and there is no lack of suspects among his neighbors. But the fun is in the woolly personalities and how they relate to their world. It’s sentimental without being stupid, most of the time. And nobody’s saying sheep are dumb … they’re no dumber than people are, a point the proceedings make very clear. It’s beautifully produced … we soon forget that we’re watching a tall stack of visual effects. On Blu-ray from Amazon MGM Studios / Alliance Home Entertainment.
