Völlig von der Wolle

I watched "Sheep & Wolves" (aka "Volki i ovtsy. Beeezumnoe prevrashchenie") together with my son. Granted it was an English dubbed version, so we didn't know that this was a Russian animated movie.

I must admit that I had little or no expectations to this animated movie, especially since I had no knowledge of this animated movie prior to finding it by random luck. It was the movie's cover/poster that prompted me to pick it up, and my son seemed to be interested in it as well.

It turned out that the movie actually was a fun movie to watch for the both of us. It had a good story. Sure it was a very predictable storyline, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

The characters in the movie were good and very likable, which added to the overall enjoyment of the animated movie.

I will say that the CGI and the level of detail that they had managed to put into this 2016 animated movie was quite good. I was genuinely impressed with what I saw on the screen, and it looked quite nice.

The English dubbed version that we watched had some adequate voice acting, although I can't really claim to have heard the voice of anyone that I instantly recognized the voice of.

"Sheep & Wolves" is a good animated movie for the entire family, and it is quite worth the time to sit down to watch.

The 3D animated movie 'Sheep and Wolves' was released in 2016. The cartoon turned out professional and high quality. Absolutely all the characters in it look very cute, the scoring is perfect, jokes here are nice. Graphic is quality, it's just superb. The plot is simply wonderful, the viewer will plunge completely headlong into the whirlpool of remarkable adventures. The movie looks fun, easy and in one go. I recommend the Sheep and Wolves for family viewing. I wish you all a pleasant viewing and cheering.

There's a lot to like about this movie. The animation is gorgeous. The voice acting is competent. I wasn't too into the story though but if you don't think too deeply about it, it's not a bad movie for kids.

Unfortunately I'm not a kid. So the themes and issues with it kinda left me hovering in the middle. Let me explain.

On the surface it's one of those feel good movies. You have a group of wolves, a group of sheep and through wacky hijinks the wolf wanting to be the alpha gets turned into a sheep. He learns about them, learns to care about them and in the end convinces his pack that the sheep should be their friends and not their dinner. And that's fine if that's what you want to take away from it. It's colorful. It looks nice. It's got a good message of working together and it can be something the kids can enjoy.

But I don't get it. The're made partially human in the sense that they're anthro to the point where the females have human curves to them and long hair. Sure, it's not the first cartoon to do that. Yes the animals live in villages with houses and use tools. But they also run on all fours. Yet also they stand on their hind legs and use their front paws as hands. There's no real consistency to them or their design. It's like they took two ideas and mashed them together.

To see this done right, I really suggest Zootopia as I felt this was a little too uneven.

At the weekend, my whole family watched the cartoon "Sheep and Wolves" and all were left with positive emotions, the children were completely delighted. The cartoon is kind and interesting, the main characters look very positive. Wolves are shown with such kindness that now children simply are not scared of them because they portrayed as good animals. A very colorful, beautiful view of nature, lambs are angelic. In this cartoon, as always, good triumphs over evil, I recommend everyone to watch it, an excellent cartoon for family viewing!

'Sheep and Wolves' deserves only 5 of 5 stars! It leaves positive emotions, it's kind and colorful. I liked it!

This movie is pretty good. It is exceptionally well-done design-wise - in terms of the quality level of the animation. It starts kind of moderately paced story-wise but as time goes on, it gets really engaging, with a thrilling, clever chase at the end. The film definitely left me wanting to see more of Grey's adventures!

For the first few minutes it seemed like it was going to be a quaint, "yeah, isn't that clever" thing, but when the movie pans out, it turns out to be quite effective. I'm quite happy I've seen "Sheep and Wolves" through to the end, we all had quite a lovely time.
