00:06Yeah, you're awake!
00:08I've asked you a number of times not to do this.
00:12I was 25 pages into the sheep detectives, and I texted my agent and said, I'm doing this.
00:19This movie follows a flock of sheep and their devoted shepherd, George.
00:24Every night, he reads murder mysteries aloud to them.
00:28I know who the killer was.
00:30But then, our shepherd has been murdered, and we shall solve the crime.
00:36I love stories about misfits who are trying to overcome odds, and the sheep detectives is exactly that.
00:43He's their world, and when he's gone, of course they have to solve it.
00:48Shall we?
00:48This is a well-crafted, nicely executed murder mystery.

01:27Sheep!
01:28He's talking about you.
01:29You're going to want to go with someone, because it's funny and touching and a little off the wall.
01:35I would say it's magical.
01:37I'll read the ending tomorrow.
01:38Ah! Why would he stop there?
01:41He was just about to say who the killer was!
