This is the third film from Wizart Animation Studio.

I have been following Wizart since their first film (The Snow Queen, 2012) and have noticed that their films have exponentially been getting better. This film is no exception to that trend (although it is only their #3).

Story: This is a timeless fairytale told from anamorphic Sheep and Wolves. The general concept is "despite their differences all life is precious and should be treated as such" which could be a valuable lesson this day and age. The characters are comically entertaining, while the voice actors (english cast) certainly knew how to make them lovable.

Animation: clearly a major improvement to The Snow Queen and Snow Queen 2, some blurry and odd animation sequences, but mostly minor scenes and were enjoyable scenes despite that.

Music: Seemed like the composer had a better handle on this film than The Snow Queen. Still nothing hummable, but final song was fun.

-I only wish that Wizart would hurry up with a DVD/BD release here in the United States already. I really would like to share this with other people.

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.

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.
