Synopsis

In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realise they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.
Transcript
00:00If there's one secret to happiness in my life, it's taking care of the kindest creatures on earth.
00:15Sheep, I want you to meet my flock.
00:20When I wake up, now I know I'm gonna be.
00:24I keep them well fed, well groomed, and each day I read out loud to them.
00:29Mysteries, whodunits, I know who the killer was.
00:32I like to pretend that they follow along, but they're only sheep.
00:39Why would he stop there?
00:41He was just about to say who the killer was.
00:43This is torture.
00:44It was the maid, right?
00:45When I wake up...
00:46Wake up!
00:50Everybody wake up!
00:53We found George on the grass, and he's not moving.
00:58What?
00:59Lily, tell us what to do!
01:00Our shepherd was murdered.
01:02And we shall solve the crime.
01:08George was visited by someone he knew well enough to offer a drink.
01:13Not much of a story for you, I'm afraid.
01:16Unless there's anything out of the ordinary.
01:18The policeman is completely hopeless.
01:20We need to help him.
01:22You think you're brave enough to leave home?
01:24We're not scared.
01:25What is that?
01:27I think it's a road.
01:28But what is it made of?
01:29Well, not grass, I can tell you that.
01:31Are you coming?
01:32For George?
01:33For George.
01:34Officer Derry, I am George Hardy's lawyer.
01:41He wrote a will.
01:42In the nighttime stories, the people in the will are always the suspects.
01:46That man had nothing.
01:47Well, actually, there is $30 million.
01:50And we have our motive.
01:53We need to look for clues.
01:56Stand back!
01:56I am, after all, a sheep detective.
02:00You killed George.
02:03Were they hiding?
02:05What if I can't solve it?
02:07I've read you dozens of these stories.
02:09They follow very simple rules.
02:11Look, a clue!
02:14Every time something happens with this case...
02:17That's my hat!
02:18There they are.
02:19A clue!
02:20Thank you all.
02:21Sheep can do things.
02:25In fact, we can do anything.
02:28I want to bash it.
02:29I want to bash it so bad.
02:36What's with them?
02:41Guys, I may be inside a clue.
02:44Ow!
