See this. It has no right to be this good. Definitely, not just a kids movie.

Not gonna’ lie…THE SHEEP DETECTIVES might just be my favorite film of the year so far. Flawlessly executed with a brilliant story and screenplay adapted from the original German novel by Craig Mazin. What a surprising delight.

Believe what you’ve herd (I hate myself) because THE SHEEP DETECTIVES is freaking delightful. It has no right to be this good, let alone be this wonderful blend of Babe and Knives Out. Funny, super heartfelt with a genuinely compelling murder mystery at its center, this one put a… pic.twitter.com/Sw1UfaM6x3

The Sheep Detectives was simply delightful. A wonderfully engaging and charming little film that brought me back to the great talking-animal family movies of the 80s and 90s. It is the kind of crowd-pleasing adventure that fills you with genuine joy from beginning to end. In an… pic.twitter.com/jNv88bSxZL

I haven't seen a movie like this in 30+ years. But when I saw a commercial for it, I immediately thought it looked clever and funny. Good to know it's a decent film, especially one for families.

So many different emotions throughout the entire movie. Laughter, sad tears, happy tears. It really was one of the most emotional movies I've seen in a long time. Highly recommend it to anyone. There was applause after the credits were rolling.

I loved Babe. If this movie is in the same league…I'm in.

Took the family tonight. It was great. Better than I expected for all our ages and movie tastes.

Much better than I expected. I would give it an 8/10 and am looking forward to a second viewing. Saw it in IMAX and enjoyed the experience. My 15 year old gave it a 9/10. The wife and 12 year old gave it a 7.5/10.
