The Catholic message found in the film The Sheep Detectives

Cristina Dominguez posts an insightful reflection on CatholicLink

"The Sheep Detectives: This charming movie has a deeper theological and moral lesson that the whole family can enjoy.

Last month, The Sheep Detectives was released in theaters, and the premise for the movie makes for a typical, fun animal
children's movie.

The movie is about a shepherd, George (played by Hugh Jackman), who reads murder mystery novels to his sheep every
night. Unknowingly, his sheep actually understand everything he reads and even take guesses to solve the fictional
mystery. The main conflict of the movie comes when the sheep find that George has been murdered. Inspired by their
knowledge from the bedtime stories, George's sheep take it upon themselves to solve the mystery of his murder."
