A new trailer has arrived for The Sheep Detectives and it looks so funny! I've always loved a good mystery, but having a flock of sheep solve the whodunit is definitely unusual. 

Here's the official synopsis from Amazon:

In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.

Starring Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, with Hong Chau and Emma Thompson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O’Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Rhys Darby.

The Sheep Detectives arrives in theaters on May 8th.

Whistle Stop - Robin Hood

The soundtrack from Disney's Robin Hood is still one of my favorites. There's just something delightful about the music from the animated film.

It looks like poor Peter Parker is really struggling since he erased himself from the memories of everyone. Without his support group, he's an outsider in his own world.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel & Sony:

After the record-breaking global success of "Spider-Man: No Way Home", "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. 

Four years have passed since the events of "No Way Home", and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

The cast includes: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters on July 31st.
