This is a short animated film about a flock of fluffy white sheep that live on a piece of paper.

The film starts with a person drawing five white and one black sheep on a page, then they come to life. Most of the white sheep bullied the black sheep because he is different. They do this by excluding the black sheep but then one night a scary vulture came and attacked one of the white sheep and took it away. The rest of the flock huddled up terrified. The next night the vulture came back, to attack the white sheep. But since it was nighttime, it was hard to see the black sheep, so this helped him fight off the vulture. After the vulture left, the white sheep were happy and made friends with the black sheep.

I loved this film because I think the sheep are extremely cute and there are a lot of details like when only one sheep liked the black sheep, but he thought he should stay with the rest of the flock. My favourite part is when the sheep danced to tribal music in a circle. This part of the film reminded me of the Monana film when Moana showed the children how to dance. The film also reminds me of the worst witch books because the drawings are black and white, similar to the drawings in this film.

The only thing I did not like about this movie was the sound of the vulture because it made me feel a little scared but the sound effects did help to show how scared the sheep were in the film. Apart from the scary sound effects, I really enjoyed this movie and I would rate it 4 out of 5.

The story informs us that we should never exclude another just because they look different.
