You know, it's like they didn't have to do that, but they did.
And I guess I appreciate that, you know, Craig Mazin, who adapted the book into this screenplay, you know, I know him from Chernobyl.
And it's like he put the same amount of care into a cozy mystery about anthropomorphic sheep solving a mystery as he did like crafting that courtroom scene where Jared Harris explains how the Chernobyl reactor melted down, right?
It's like the same level of care and like,
attention to like storytelling, like making sure that the actual whodunit makes sense.
And I thought the payoff for that was really satisfying and having this like quirky cast of characters that bounce off of each other in an interesting way.
Like those are all the elements you need for like a really serious prestige drama too, you know, and they're here in a kid's movie.
It's great.
It may be nothing, but I can't stop thinking about George's hat and raincoat.
What hat and raincoat?
And then he's like, why do these sheep always show up?
Yeah.
And I don't want to get, like, really galaxy-brained about it and start, you know, making, like, elaborate metaphors about what this movie is, like, really about.
Because I think it works on, like, a very simple level if you just want to treat it as, like, a wonderful little piece of entertainment.
But I also think, like...
They do a very nice job of exploring like grief and loss, but in a way that's still like OK for kids to interact with, you know.
And I think that there's something quite clever in using the animal POV because I think having these sheep who are very naive in a lot of ways, right?
They literally have not left the pasture.
That's why they have trouble crossing the road the first time they encounter it.
But, like, having them be actually smarter than they even think they are, it means you can comment on human behavior in a different kind of way, in this, like, naive but actually super observant way, right?
