If I had a nickel for every time Bryan Cranston voice acts a brave black furred animal in a great children’s movie who’s had a tough childhood and been jaded by humans so he separates himself from the other domesticated animal friends who like humans, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but weird it happened twice

mopple deserved to confide with sebastian over painful memories that no one else could understand or relate too. sebastian deserved to hear from another sheep that pain could be overcome and happiness be found in spite of bad experiences

and lily deserved to have another friend who understood humans like she did, appreciated her kindness and spirit, and could geek out about murder mystery tropes with her

Yes, the movie about sheep solving a murder mystery made me cry. Apparently I am not alone in this. It's really good, okay.

Saw Sheep Detectives

The Winter Lamb in The Sheep Detectives latched onto my heart and still has not let go. 🥺

I thought I was just going to watch a cute movie, not a thoughtful reflection on death, memory, the pain of loss, and the importance of loving the “Other.”

*Light, but potential spoiler in the next paragraph*

In the Winter Lamb, I saw every outcast character I have ever loved or been fascinated by and a poignant representation of an innocent purity, soft and uncorrupted, before the onset of a hardened and jaded perspective that comes through repeated cruelty, as seen in Sebastian the ram.

I could only see my comfort characters (Sad Men, of course) and mourn for them. ❤️‍🩹

For many reasons, I highly recommend the movie! Watch it with a soft heart and prepare for all the feels. Also, sheep and lambs. 😭

Saw The Sheep Detectives. Expected a cute, low-key murder mystery. A fun, silly romp with a great cast. A chill, family-friendly whodunnit playing off a familiar plot with the cute and silly twist of the titular sheep as amateur detectives trying solve their shepherd's murder.

To be fair, it was absolutely all of that.

It was also somehow so much more than all of that? So much better than it had any right to be with a premise that cutely, shamelessly silly? So much more painfully, poignantly honest in the way it chose to deal with death than I ever expected? And still also a delightfully fun and silly romp about sheep trying to solve a murder (and succeeding!) based on your average murder mystery genre tropes?

10/10, do recommend, will watch again, etc.

If you died, I would choose not to forget you in 3 seconds, but you're not nerdy enough to understand that

mopple shows love by telling comforting lies for his friends and making himself a shoulder to cry on even when the other sheep don’t even remember what they’re upset about. every so often, a little truth slips through and he has to scramble to cover it up. eventually, his lies fall apart and he has to admit to the isolation that acting this way has caused him. (“you’ve carried this alone all this time?” “yes.”)

sebastian shows love by making his friends confront uncomfortable truths and forces them to keep their memories of george. all the while claiming that he’s separate from the flock, not acting as a source of comfort at all. yet, every so often, this facade is chipped at and he reveals he’s much kinder and willing to give grace than first appears. then the scene with the dogs forces him to drop his pretences and admit to his attachment to lily and mopple (“why did you come back?” “you’re my flock.”)

equal opposites with lily in the middle impressing them with her smarts, while also learning Deeper Truths from both. you get what i’m saying here???

[grunklestanofficial]

So like, all I’m saying is that there’s nothing in the Hugh Jackman shepherd’s backstory that /excludes/ him from being some iteration of a retired Wolverine. And it just never comes up because the sheep think all humans can produce shearing scissors out of their hands.

how Sebastian looks in the books btw

And he was supposed to be called othello that’s so cool
