If you're expecting another generic children’s film from The Sheep Detectives, you're in for a surprise. Its exploration of grief is both poignant and digestible for youngsters, and it features the most tragic children's character since Inside Out's Bing Bong. It's not all doom and gloom, however, as the film elicits its share of snickers and chuckles throughout the runtime of this heartfelt whodunit. If you're from the generation that grew up on kids films with a sprinkle of trauma, this will feel oddly nostalgic. But if you’re not, this is a great opportunity to see what you’ve missed out on.

There’s a movie called The Sheep Detectives starring Hugh Jackman, and it’s… good!? It’s not great. The mystery is the weak link, as it’s where a lot of the cheap humour and filmmaking are at the forefront. It’s the dynamic between the sheep themselves that surprised me. Maybe it’s my cynicism that thought a kids' movie about sheep solving mysteries couldn’t be much, but there’s shockingly dark material that these sheep display. Nothing thought-provoking, but it’s not trying to be. It’s sincere, and that’s all a movie like this needs to be at the end of the day.
