Movie Review - The Sheep Detectives
This was a good family movie that will entertain children and adults alike. Well, at least this adult, who is still pretty much a kid at heart. :-)
The voice acting was exceptional. Not just good casting for the voices, but great acting behind them.
There’s a decent mystery in the story that, I’ll be honest, I didn’t solve it before the reveal, so that’s always a bonus.
Trauma
I don’t want to spoil anything, but there is a traumatic scene that may be hard for some, especially young kids, to see. You’ll understand if you read the Peetimes in the RunPee app. We made an Alert Peetime for that scene so that you’ll be warned.
