Short but very sweet, 16 January 2005
7/10
Author: Mr Ben from Hampshire, England

Curious one, this. Expecting to see Pixar's "The Incredibles" and I'm given this for free. Not every day you get two for one at the cinema.

In truth, it's not that big a deal because this is a short animated song by Bud Luckey (who sounds like the guy from that annoyingly catchy Honda advertisement about diesel engines). It concerns the story of a sheep who dazzles all the animals around with his brilliant coat of white wool. But after being sheared, the sheep turns to a jackalope (a what?) who offers some advice. Basically, it's a morality tale about keeping your chin up when life gets you down.

Technically accomplished and very kiddie-friendly, it is as sweet as the bag of jelly babies I took into the cinema with me (and did I feel stuffed afterwards!). Cute little song, enough kooky animals to make young kids laugh and polished animation but ultimately over-shadowed by its bigger budgeted cousin. Shame, really, as you'd have to be a hard-hearted bastard not to like this.
