Drift: Hey Mist, I can see too!
Mist: Can you?
Drift: I can see you!
Mist: What do I look like?
Drift: I don't know, I can only see in black and white.

Drift: Oh, good!

Movie Connections:

Spin off "Mist: Sheepdog Tales" (2007)

Soundtrack:

Mist On Windcutter Down

So cute and lovable!

Genre: Non-animated family film set on a farm with sheepdogs.

Why I like it: This is one of my new TOP TEN favourite films! It is SO good for a modern film, I prefer it to a lot of the stuff that comes up in the cinemas nowadays. It should have an overall rating on this site!

What it ALL adds up to: Absolute cuteness+a CREEPY baddie+a good storyline + the fact that the sheepdogs' mouths don't move when they talk + lovely characters + good music + Good English accents/voices = this lovely and enjoyable motion picture!

I recommend it to all Sheepdog fans, English-film fans, people who are frustrated by CGI mouths and people who like funny films! ENJOY! :)

What happens: From the moment she sees the woolly creatures, Mist wants to become a real sheepdog. However, THAT will mean putting up with Fern and being trained by Sir Gregory...

P.S I'm the first person to review this. That has NEVER happened before...
