Völlig von der Wolle

This movie amazed me. It was funny, smart, entertaining, and best of all, it was clean. By clean I mean that I could watch it with my friends and family and didn't have to be embarrassed. This movie had none of that stuff. It was just good clean family-oriented fun. If anyone of you have been searching for a great movie to watch with your family or significant other, then this is the one. You'll go away feeling good. Definitely worth the time to see or rent. Why couldn't other movies be just as good and clean?

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.

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.

When looking at the previews for Sheep and Wolves, I thought it was going to be some explosive animation, even if made for kids. Was I wrong! The film looks at the other side of life: that of the wolf who lives in the wolf's village and he's happy until something happens. This fantastically funny film entertained my whole family; adults, teenagers, and children were completely enthralled from beginning to end.

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!
