A welcome adaptation of Three Bags Full from the makers of The Minions, Spider-Verse, and The Last of Us. For a bunch of “sheep” there sure were a bunch of different kinds of them (Shetland, Merino, Norfolk Horns, Danish Landrace, Lincoln Longwool, North Country Cheviot, Boreray, Valais Blacknose, Icelandic Leadersheep, and a few babies). The voices are less cartoony than I was expecting and more just the actors doing their expected thing (similar to Julia Louis-Dreyfus in A Bug’s Life and Bryan Cranston seemed restrained compared to Isle of Dogs). The themes of death, broken homes, memory, justice, vegetarianism, capitalism, journalism, and trying to live in a small town with an aggressive neon sign maker are all woven throughout a straight-up detective story. But it isn’t just kids’ stuff, that would be Knives Goat. 🐑
