'The Sheep Detectives' starring Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson and a fact-checking flock

In what's billed as ' witty new breed', this movie tells the story of a shepherd who likes to read mystery stories to his flock, and what happens when his comfortable, caring routine is disrupted. As the sheep realise the humans brought in to solve the 'herder mystery' aren't going to be any use, the movie takes an animated comedic turn featuring a slew of popular / revered actors plus a herd of animated quadrupeds. With all kinds of favourite performers, formats and themes combining on the same screen, this live-action / animated hybrid looks set to be a family box-office hit when it comes to cinemas next spring.
