Following preview showings last weekend, The Sheep Detectives is now playing in theaters everywhere! Early reviews suggest it’s a film you’ll likely enjoy.
The movie is based on Leonie Swann’s 2005 book, Three Bags Full, and tells the story of a group of sheep who start looking into the mysterious death of their shepherd, George Hardy, played by Hugh Jackman.
The Australian actor is joined by a talented cast, including Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Nicholas Galitzine, Hong Chau, Tosin Cole, Conleth Hill, and Emma Thompson, who all play supporting roles.
The real stars of Kyle Balda’s charming mystery aren’t the people – it’s the sheep! These fluffy creatures can secretly talk and are surprisingly good at solving clues. But who provides the voices for these adorable detectives?

The movie features ten sheep, and nine of them are voiced by famous actors. The only exception is Tommy Birchall, a new voice actor who plays The Winter Lamb – a sheep who’s left out because of when it was born.
Lily, who naturally leads the group, is brought to life by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, known for her role in Veep. She won six Emmy Awards in a row for playing Selina Meyer on the popular sitcom, and also appears as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
