The Sheep Detectives

The Sheep Detectives: A wonderfully odd farmyard whodunit

A shepherd reads detective novels to his sheep every night, never suspecting they are listening — until a mystery on the farm forces them to become sleuths themselves. The Sheep Detectives is a charming, clever comedy best suited to older children (8+) and adults who enjoy something offbeat. Important: this film has just one screening at one cinema this week — treat it as a last-chance special if the concept grabs you.

Delightfully original premise that older kids and parents will both find funny
Gentle mystery-comedy with no scary or heavy content
One screening only this week — strictly a catch-it-now option
