But I think they did a good job kind of balancing the genuine sadness of the premise and what's happening with the sheep with the comedy of the cop and the Emma Thompson playing this kind of imperious lawyer who breezes into town.
I think they did a good job with that balance.
Yeah, there's a pair of twin sheep who are voiced by Brett Goldstein, who played Roy Kent on Ted Lasso.
And when you first hear them, it's like, oh, those are sheep that sound exactly like Roy Kent.
Like, I suspect those are the Roy Kent sheep.
And I think, like Bob said, when you use some distinctive voices.
And I felt like they did a good job of using distinctive voices.
But I will say I did not clock everybody in the voice cast.
I picked out some of them.
I went back and forth with a couple people who had the same reaction I did, which is that they couldn't figure out whether the Patrick Stewart one was Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen, which makes a fair amount of sense.
I did not clock Julia Louis-Dreyfus through this whole movie because I don't know her by voice.
She's not a person who, to me, has an incredibly distinctive and recognizable voice instantly.
But I did pick out Bryan Cranston and I did pick out, as I said, Brett Goldstein.
So I think they do a good job with the voices being distinctive and interesting without it being overwhelmingly, you know, it's not oppressively offensive.
This is the silliest voice that you could come up with for this situation.
A lot of them are fairly β and I think the reason I didn't necessarily pick out Julia Louis-Dreyfus is that she plays it fairly straight.
